BEST WESTERN PLUS SILVER SADDLE RECOGNIZED WITH TWO BRAND AWARDS AT HOTEL CHAIN’S ANNUAL CONVENTION AND GLOBAL CONFERENCE

 

ESTES PARK, October 29, 2012 -- The BEST WESTERN PLUS SILVER SADDLE in Estes Park was recognized with both the M.K. Guertin Award and the Champion Customer Care Award at Best Western International’s 2012 Convention and Global Conference held recently in Las Vegas, Nev.  The awards were presented in front of more than 2,000 industry peers.

 

The prestigious M.K. Guertin Award is bestowed upon those Member properties that have represented the vision of Best Western’s founder and best demonstrated exceptional levels of service, quality, value and commitment to the brand. The Customer Care Champion Award honors Member properties that demonstrate and best exemplify exceptional levels of service and care. The hotels must also meet design standards and other membership requirements to qualify for each award.

 

The BEST WESTERN PLUS SILVER SADDLE is one of only 28 hotels out of more than 2,400 properties in the U.S. and Canada to receive both awards.  Additionally, the BEST WESTERN PLUS SILVER SADDLE received the Chairman’s Award for a perfect 1000 point score on the most recent Best Western quality assurance inspection in October 2012.

 

“These awards recognize those Best Western hotels that truly demonstrate the highest levels of quality and service within the brand,” said Devang Amin, Chairman of Best Western International’s Board of Directors. “The BEST WESTERN PLUS SILVER SADDLE represents a strong commitment to excellence and to guests.”

 

Located at 1260 Big Thompson Avenue, the BEST WESTERN PLUS SILVER SADDLE features 55 rooms as well as a fitness center, heated outdoor pool and an indoor hot tub.

 

Owned since 1964 by Laurine and Wally Burke, The BEST WESTERN PLUS SILVER SADDLE is adding twelve new rooms and meeting space during the winter of 2012 / 2013.  According to Cory Blackman, General Manager, the addition, which also includes a new elevator and catering kitchen, will enhance the quality of accommodations that guests expect from an award winning Best Western property.
