The AmericInn Lodging System Names Guest-Tek
its Exclusive Provider of High-Speed
Internet Access

 
Chanhassen, MN � (April 6, 2004) � AmericInn International, LLC announces Guest-Tek Interactive Entertainment Ltd. (Guest-Tek, TSX: GTK) as the exclusive provider of High-Speed Internet Access for the AmericInn Lodging System. Recognized as one of the fastest growing upscale limited service lodging chains, the AmericInn Lodging System has 220 AmericInn properties currently open or under development in 30 states across the United States.  

�Ensuring AmericInn guests receive a consistent, superior level of service every time they access the Internet was the key reason we selected Guest-Tek as our exclusive provider,� says Luke Fowler, AmericInn International, LLC Chairman and CEO. 

Fowler points out that while many hotels install high-speed Internet access to gain a competitive advantage, that service must be consistent across the entire chain. The AmericInn Lodging System is targeting to have high-speed Internet access available in all properties by early 2005.

�Guest-Tek offers a reliable, full-service solution that will ensure our guests have the same outstanding experience in every AmericInn property,� states Fowler.  

Doug Vickerson, Guest-Tek�s VP of Sales and Marketing, confirms Guest-Tek has a proven track record for providing a quality, consistent guest experience. Vickerson points out that with AmericInn, Guest-Tek is a certified supplier to nine major hotel brands.
 
Guest-Tek�s high-speed Internet access is already available in six AmericInn properties, including AmericInn�s flagship property in Chanhassen, Minnesota. The AmericInn of Chanhassen had Guest-Tek�s solution installed in August 2003. �Our guests love the service, and it�s become a key amenity in helping to keep them coming back,� says Howard Anderson, Area Manager for the property.

Anderson adds, �Guest-Tek�s outstanding technical support has also been a major advantage. Like many limited-service properties, the AmericInn of Chanhassen does not have on-site IT staff who can help guests connect if they require assistance. Guest-Tek�s 24-hour Help Desk addresses that challenge, providing support 365 days a year.�
