SILVER SPRING, Md., May 10, 2007 - Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH) today announced that 14 properties have received honors as the 2007 Inn of the Year award winning hotels.

"These hotels provide exceptional service to their guests, and guests that stay at these properties are among the most satisfied in the Choice system. I commend the owners, general managers and employees at these hotels for their ongoing commitment to guest service."
    
Commitment to guest satisfaction and operational excellence are key focal points for Choice. Across all of its brands, Choice is investing in programs that can help improve guest service at the property level and potentially enhance service consistency at all hotels.
