Hendersonville, Tenn. - (Nov. 27, 2006) � InnLink, LLC, a leading provider of central reservation services and technology, announces the renewal of its partnership with AmericInn International, LLC.  InnLink will continue to provide services to the AmericInn Lodging System for an additional three years.

After an extensive review of CRS providers, AmericInn chose to continue their successful relationship with InnLink.

InnLink�s Internet-based inventory, rate, revenue, and data management tool, RESmatrix, allows management access to chain and property reports, data integration and reservation management tools that enable the AmericInn Lodging System to monitor critical reservation information and to compete proactively in the marketplace. Additional tools and service offerings include marketing opportunities, online invoicing, web-based training, competitive rate shopping and channel management.

�InnLink has provided our chain with exceptional service, a consistently higher ADR and a reservation close rate that returns higher incremental revenue. They are truly a strategic partner and an essential part of our business,� said Arnold Angeloni, Chief Executive Officer of AmericInn International, LLC.

AmericInn franchisees� satisfaction with InnLink is evident.  According to Mike Otten, Director of Sales for InnLink, �There is no better testimonial than that of a customer�s extension of a partnership.
