About GUESTHOUSE
GuestHouse International Inns Hotels and Suites evolved from the first GuestHouse Inn & Suites in Little Rock AR in 1987 to become a leading mid-market brand with 70+ properties across America and China. GuestHouse International's most popular standard amenities include complimentary continental breakfast, freshly baked Belgian waffles, 25" remote-controlled TV's with free sports, movie and all news channels, data ports, In-room coffeemakers, free parking, and high speed internet access.
The GuestHouse International franchise support system is one of the best in the industry. Franchise Service Managers provide support from initial opening to front desk training to outside sales assistance. Our Brand Assurance team helps property managers maintain the highest possible standards to ensure guest satisfaction and increase success. InnLink Central Reservation Systems (located in GuestHouse Int'l corporate headquarters) delivers GDS, voice and branded reservation services at www.guesthouseintl.com. Guest House International franchise agreements reward success and a true working relationship between owner and franchisor.
In December 2006, GuestHouse International was purchased by Settle Inn LLC. In 2005 Settle Inn LLC, working with the AAFD, developed a franchise agreement that has been awarded the most franchise friendly contract in the lodging industry. As with Settle Inn LLC, GuestHouse International is committed to delivering exceptional service to our franchisees.
