Reservation Services
.
Hendersonville, TN and Wichita, KS � January 27, 2005 - InnLink announces the signing and activation of reservation services for Value Place, industry veteran Jack DeBoer�s new and unique approach to extended-stay lodging. Built as a hotel and apartment hybrid, and dubbed �short-term residential lodging�, Value Place benefits franchisees and residents alike by incorporating lower start-up and operating costs along with clean, safe, and low-cost accommodations for weekly or longer stays.

Having founded the Residence Inn, Summerfield Suites, and Candlewood Suites brands, Jack DeBoer�s most recent venture fills an untapped lodging niche and targets the temporary and short-term lodging market.  Amenities include linens and towels, cable TV, and bi-weekly housekeeping.  Residents may purchase additional items such as dishes, cookware, utensils and high-speed Internet access.  With more than 20 Value Place properties already open or under development throughout the United States, the brand is on track to exceed expectations and create a win-win for the lodging industry and franchisees alike.

�InnLink�s reputation for providing its customers with reliable and dedicated reservation services was a key factor in choosing a reservation service provider.  InnLink�s call center operation is remarkable and we�ve found their staff to be flexible to the needs of a growing company�, says Value Place president, David Redfern.

Michael Young, InnLink�s president, says, �Value Place has a cutting edge style and presence in the lodging industry and matches perfectly with our staff�s energy and focus.  We look forward to many years of growth and service to Value Place, and are dedicated to the brand�s growth and performance.�
