STS will outfit RFS� eligible guest rooms with the Hotel Net Portal, an on-line entry point that guests first see when they sign onto in-room Internet systems. STS will provide the Portal for RFS properties on modem, Ethernet, and wireless platforms beginning during the second quarter of this year, with future content delivery on television and PDA platforms.

STS will also assist RFS in selecting an In-Room Provider of high-speed Internet access (IRP).

RFS follows Sage Hospitality Resources, LLC, MeriStar Hotels and Resorts, Inc. (NYSE: MMH), and MeriStar Hospitality Corporation (NYSE: MHX) who also selected an on-line media solution prior to selecting an In-Room Provider (IRP) of high-speed Internet access.

�We chose STS Hotel Net as our Portal provider because STS can cater to all of our guest Internet needs.  The Hotel Net Portal will deliver content and services to guests, regardless of how they connect,� said Randy Churchey, President and Chief Operating Officer of RFS Hotel Investors.

In addition to the suite of guest-specific services, Hotel Net provides hotel management with guest preference information that can be used to better serve their guests.
�The Internet provides us the ability to improve customer relationships.  By providing personalized on-line content to our guests, we hope to improve the guest�s overall experience in our properties,� said Churchey.

About STS Hotel Net
STS Hotel Net provides on-line media and Internet applications for the traveler and the hospitality industry.  The Portal provides guest specific content, local merchant information, communication services, and eCommerce applications.  Hotel companies that want to expand brand presence and guest relationships use the Hotel Net Portal to create a customized on-line guest experience.
