Frank & David Crisafi Honored with Premier Alliance Award

Cambria Suites Pays Tribute to Exceptional Franchisees

Noblesville, Ind. (May XX, 2010) – Frank and David Crisafi, described as “passionate advocates and collaborative supporters” of Cambria Suites, were named the Premier Alliance award recipients in recognition of their brand commitment. The prestigious award was announced during an evening gala at the 56th annual convention of Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH.) this month in Las Vegas, Nev.

The Premier Alliance award recognizes extraordinary franchisees that develop properties with Choice Hotels, live up to the brand promise through excellent property performance and are active in the franchise community. They are owners who are truly committed to the brand and who work closely with Choice hotels to ensure the company’s continued success. Ceres Enterprises, LLC owns and operates the 132-suite Noblesville Cambria Suites hotel, which opened in July 2009.

“We couldn’t be prouder to accept this award,” said Frank Crisafi, Ceres Enterprises LLC. “The Cambria Suites brand is something we truly stand behind. It allows our customers to bring their lifestyle on the road without skipping a beat, which you don’t find at other hotels. Cambria Suites is synonymous with hospitality in every sense of the word, and we’re proud to be a part of it.”

There are currently 20 Cambria Suites hotels open and nearly 30 under development nationwide.

“Frank and David are fantastic examples of a successful franchise partnership with Cambria Suites,” said Kevin J. Lewis, president of upscale and extended stay brands for Choice Hotels. “They understand the brand and deliver its promise every single day through their outstanding management, dedicated staff, and premier hotel.”

Every Cambria Suites guest room features separate work and living areas with ergonomic chairs, movable desks, luxury linens and Bath and Body Works® products. The all-suites hotels offer the latest in technology, including a 52-inch television in the open, airy two-story lobby, and each suite includes two flat-screen LCD televisions and MP3 jacks. Every suite also offers MediaHubTM plug-and-play technology, allowing guests to connect their laptop, MP3 player, game console, digital camera or CD/DVD player hassle-free. Free high-speed wired and wireless Internet access is available throughout the hotel so that guests can stay connected when on the road.

Cambria Suites hotels feature Reflect, a dining and gathering area serving a dinner menu, liquor, wine, beer, and a barista bar featuring Wolfgang Puck® coffee, Cheesecake Factory® desserts and a hot breakfast buffet; Refresh, a state-of-the-art fitness center with an elegant pool and hot tub/spa area; and Refill, a 24-7 convenience store that offers energy drinks, snacks and sundries, as well as freshly prepared grab-and-go gourmet salads and sandwiches. .
