Hotels from Brisbane, Parkes, Newcastle, Mackay and Adelaide were the big winners in Choice Hotels Australasia’s annual Franchisee of the Year awards this week.
Brisbane’s Econo Lodge City Star took out the Econo Lodge category while the Comfort Inn Parkes International was judged best Comfort.
Newcastle’s Quality Hotel NOAH’S On the Beach won the Quality category, Clarion Hotel Mackay Marina was best Clarion and Adelaide’s Rendezvous Allegra Hotel – Clarion Collection claimed best Clarion Collection.
