Hendersonville, TN � August 17, 2005 - Select Inn, the limited service hotels of Select Franchising, Inc. of Fargo, ND, chose InnLink as their reservation services provider in July, 2004.  During the 12 month period since conversion of reservation services to InnLink from their previous vendor, the Select Inn group has experienced a reservations increase of nearly 70% and an ADR increase of nearly 15%.

According to Dipan Patel, owner of the new Select Inn in Maple Grove, MN, �I have received more reservations in one month through InnLink�s Select Inn Reservation Center than I received in more than a year through our previous provider.  I�m completely sold on InnLink!  Our InnLink Revenue Manager pays attention to our hotel and helps us increase our market share.�
