PROPERTY STANDARDS

Our motto to our valued Guests is, “Welcome to your home away from home.” To this end,
we constantly encourage Owners to provide us the best possible properties to present to our
Guests. We find a higher demand and thus higher occupancy rate, for the better-equipped
and better-furnished properties.

Classifications of properties:

   1. Luxury – The highest standards apply here. Must be recently upgraded or new
      construction and meet all the criteria of the ultimate in luxury living.

   2. Premier – Recently renovated to include all new kitchen and baths, appliances and
      fixtures, new flooring and window coverings, and refurnished within the past five year
      with all new furniture, bedding and carpet, if applicable. The Premier class of property
      normally demands room rates between 10% and 20% higher than a Superior rated
      property.

   3. Superior – Renovated within the last ten years, to include all new kitchen and bath
      counters and cabinets, floor and window coverings, new furniture and bedding.
