In 2009 we created an internal audit program designed specifically for limited/select service hotels. This audit takes approximately 24 hours and focuses on the high risk areas.
All full service hotels are “mystery shopped” during the audit at no additional charge. The results of these visits are conveyed to the hotel while on property and are included in the report.
