GIFU, July 3 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

CEO Kiyoshi Matsui and COO Takeya Muraki of Choice Hotels Japan Co., LTD left the Music City on a high note when the Comfort Hotel Gifu brought home the International Hotel of the Year award from Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH), franchisor of the Comfort Hotel brand. The award was announced during the company's annual convention last month in Nashville, Tennessee.

"As an International Hotel of the Year winner, the Comfort Hotel Gifu is one of the 'best of the best' within the Choice system and is the best within the more than 574-strong international Comfort brand," said Bruce Haase, senior vice president, international. "The hotels selected as International Hotel of the Year winners represent the properties that best portray a positive image for the brand, are active participants within the system and are most committed to customer satisfaction."

Choice Hotels annually presents the International Hotel of the Year Award to hotels that demonstrate lodging excellence. For the international awards, the best of each brand is selected by reviewing Quality Assurance Review scores, which cover a variety of categories including maintenance, cleanliness and branding. Winning hotels must have been a part of the Choice system for more than a year.

We inspect the guestrooms ourselves with our own checklist so that we can provide the best-conditioned rooms to our guests at any time. It's rewarding to see the hard work of my staff paid off."

The 219-room Comfort Hotel Gifu, which opened in February 2004, is located in downtown Gifu, Japan, in front of the JR Tokaido Gifu Station. The property offers guests and visitors an ideal location to visit such local attractions as Mount Kinka, the Nagara River, the Central ...
