Professional On-Site Evaluations
Professional inspection consultants provide impartial assessments, spotlighting areas for improvement in areas that most impact a guest experience.
Unannounced visits, or “mystery” shops, evaluate your hotel against a comprehensive set of criteria specific to your collection. Every hotel service department is sampled, and the cleanliness, condition, maintenance, and upkeep of the hotel building, furniture, fixtures, and equipment are evaluated.

Total IQA Score
IQA takes into account “performance over time” as reported by actual guests via online reviews and social media commentary. The Total IQA Score is a weighted score based on your on-site inspection score, overall consumer review score, and number of reviews your property received over the six-month period prior to the inspection.
• Consumer Review score supplements, but does not harm the on-site inspection score
• Hotels that fail to reach the benchmark score can receive a boost from favorable on-line reviews and comments
Careful management of online reputation through and active engagement with customers, including timely responses to commentary and criticism, can positively impact your consumer review scores and your Total IQA Score.
