The report of the hotel chain illustrates the critical analysis of the management decision taken by the senior management of the hotel. The management decision of the hotel is based on the technology and the systems of the company based on the different IT implementation. The report will discuss about the development of the operational aspects of the ten hotel chains such as brand loyalty, continued patronage, customer choice, etc. The usage patterns of ICT in the organization are also discussed in detailed with their potential issues in it. The aim of the restaurant is to increase the strength of the customer base of the hotel chain along with the improved management operations and the goals and objectives of the company. The use of ICT is to gain the competitive advantage of the hotel chain in the market. Recommendations are to be formulated which are based on the aspects of the management decisions as well as technology implementation in the project.
The case study consists of the merging of few hotels i.e. ten hotels in a single hotel chain in order to combat the pressure of the market for accommodation purpose of the lower accommodation hotel. However, it can be said that the new hotel chain has different categories of hotel starting from bed breakfast homes to backpacker to luxurious suites. The new hotel chain is known as Stay Together. The aim of the hotel chain is to combat the sales of the websites like hotels.com, booking.com, etc. that are responsible for lesser sale of the hotel rooms. The main aim is to form a single website which will be provided to the customers from where they can book the accommodation and other facilities related to it. The price of the products will be remains same in all seasons except the peak season. The following section discusses about the critical analysis of the management decisions of the hotel chains.
Loyalty schemes are used in any businesses that are proven to be beneficial not only in attracting customers but also in order to maintain the loyalty of the customers and residents of hotel who are using the services of the hotel. The loyalty scheme of the hotel chain will be competitive enough in order to use the services of the hotels more than the regular services of the hotel. It can be said that the customer loyalty scheme of the hotel chain is Stay Together Loyalty that will reward its customers with different facilities such as car parking, free nights, airport transfers, etc. The loyalty programs of the hotel chain are structured in terms of the marketing strategies that are formulated for the customers. For instance, customers who are using regular services of the hotels, they are provided with different kinds of customers in the hotel. The loyalty programs of the hotel are formulated in a way so that they can meet the needs of the customers individually. On the other hand, it can be said that sometimes the individual schemes of the hotel chains sometimes causes failure in the loyalty schemes of the different types of customers which are not satisfying the expectations of the hotel residents. The good aspect of the loyalty programs of the hotel chains are that it can attract new customers as well as the retention of the existing customers. The marketing techniques are also included in it
Free buffet breakfast and dinner
In terms of hotel industry, free breakfast and dinner or buffet are common offers that the hoteliers provide to the customers. It can be said that the free buffet or other times of meals are treated as complimentary treatment to the customers. The customers and tourists usually welcome any thing which is free. The senior management of the company decided that will include dinner and breakfast which will be included in the cost of the hotel room charges. The company StayTogether will include this thing in the website in the offers section of the website. It is one of the factors that will increase the customer loyalty of the hotel visitors. The scheme of quality breakfast and meals is responsible for creating a competitive advantage of the hotels in the industry. It is seen that most of the customers search for hotels that have free breakfast or dinner. The customers will not have to go to other places in order to have breakfast and dinner which is irritating sometimes for them. It is seen that the hotels of the company are having more customers due to the complimentary breakfast provided to them. Research has proved the fact that the relationship between the visitors and the management of the hotels also gets increased due to the complementary aspects of breakfast and dinner. However, it is also a fact that this scheme will not affect the customers who are having breakfast or dinner from different exclusive restaurants. They will not be attracted towards this scheme of StayTogether.
Rebates are considered as a remarkable decision of the management of the company that has decided by the company in order to increase the customer satisfaction of the hotel chains. Rebate system will encourage the customers in order to book the hotels along with the other transportation facilities of the places. For instance, it can be said that the StayTogether include rebate systems to the customers in terms of the airlines booking. The visitors of the hotel are interested in the transportation of the places that are related with the tours and travels. The rebates are responsible for attracting the visitors of the hotel. The management decision of the company is focusing on the development of mobile app in terms of rebates. The visitors of the webpage are provided with deals and discounts related to the hotel rentals and other services of hotels. Rebates are different for different types of customers. If they are using the website rebates are different. On the other hand, if the customers are using the mobile application then they will be getting different types of deals and offers. This will affect the customer relationship with the hotel chain with the customers. Customer relationship is the important aspect in the hotel industry in order to seek customer retention and relationship. It will help in the different types of Word of Mouth Promotion of the hotel chains. On the other hand, it can be said that the sometimes the customers may not get happy with the services of transportation that are offered by the hotel chain in rebates.
Corporate social responsibility is the important part of the aspect of the business. The business responsibilities of the hotel chain group are mandatory as it comes under the regulation of the government of the country. It is seen that the hotel chain is contributing 1% of the income of every bill received from the customers. The customers are given an opportunity in order to contribute to the charity provided by the company to the community.
The decision taken by the different officials of the senior management of the hotel chain is considered as a master stroke by them in terms of the marketing campaigns of the hotel group. People nowadays are responsible for the contributor of the sustainability aspects in a different way. Companies nowadays promote the element of sustainability in their operational departments of companies in order to attract more customers to it.
It can be said that the company has mentioned the impact of the charity donations to the various charity homes.
This is an indirect marketing technique used by the group of hotels in order to increase their corporate brand image among the different charity organizations. Apart from that, the visitors of the website are given the choice in order to select their preferred charity organizations while donating their contributions to it. Finally, it has been found that this helps in increasing rate of bookings of the hotel rooms of the different hotels of the hotel chain. It is indirectly helping the company for new customer attraction and retention of the existing visitors of the company.
IT and IS issues are more or less same in terms of technical aspect. IT issues refers to Information Technology issues while on the other hand IS issues refers to Information System issues. The issues can be categorized into different categories such as technology compatibility issues, scalability issues, sustainability issues, data conversion issues, employment issues, legal issues, user interface issues, employment issues, etc. The different types of technology compatibility issues are related with the improper development of the website or improper web designing elements in their company websites. The scalability issues is related to the usage if the various technologies of IT and IS within the budget provided to the company. Data conversion loss is a big issue in terms of the hotel chain. It can lead to huge data loss. Data loss can leads to dissatisfaction of the customers in terms of loss of their information from the system. In terms of data conversion, sometimes technical faults can occurs that is also a cause of bad customer relationship management. Apart from that, there are legal issues that the company can face in terms of the patented issues. The company must have to have the patent their technologies and their website so that the rival companies should not copy the technologies as well as other services offered by the company. The technology capability issues are related to the user interface issues of the customers to use the website of the new hotel chain. If the digital marketing and the improper website designing of the company is not done properly, then the user will find problem in using the website for finding different issues of the website. The employability issues are a vital problem for the new hotel chain. The hotel chain has to cut many employees from the office as human skill is replacing into machines which is cost effective.
It can be concluded that though the group of hotels is planning to form a hotel chain and form a website of their own in order to gain a competitive advantage in the market. The problem is related to the different types of problems faced by the hotel chain while opening the website and incorporating it to the users. There are numerous advantages as well as disadvantages regarding IT and IS issues related to the website development of the company. However, recommendations are to be provided in order to mitigate the issues faced by the hotel chain.
Recommendations are to be followed in terms of the different technical issues of the hotel chain.
- A strong team needs to be recruited by the company.
- The scalability issues of the company should be solved with a proper budget for the implementation.
- Human skill is required to control the activities of the technology.
- The technical faults should be addressed by the digital market team.
- Different forms of technology related to customer relationship management are to be implemented.

Eskdale camping barn
You’ll find our traditional Lakeland camping barn (which sleeps up to six people) right at the heart of the campsite, surrounded by stunning scenery that will make your stay even more special.
Perfect for families or small groups of friends, the two storey stone barn provides a cosy spot to relax after a day out exploring the fells. Inside, you’ll find a well equipped kitchen and dining area downstairs complete with a large woodburner, perfect for warming tired limbs while someone rustles up something delicious. Head upstairs via a spiral staircase to the sleeping platform, where you can also throw open the large barn doors to the driveway, which is also helpful when you’re unpacking the car as you’ll just need to climb two big stone steps to get all your stuff inside.
Outside, why not make use of the BBQ area to sit back and soak up the fantastic Lake District scenery?
What do I need to bring?
Like a camping pod, you’ll still need your sleeping bags and pillows as just a camp bed is provided on the sleeping platform. Toilets and showers are also in the main campsite facility block.
What does it cost?
In 2019, the cost is £165 per night – this is for exclusive use of the barn. Please note there is a minimum booking of two nights and at bank holiday weekends, a minimum of three nights.
You are welcome to bring your dog to the camping barn.

NEW HOTEL SEARCH
Prescott RoadEast Pimbo, Skelmersdale, EnglandWN8 9PU United Kingdom | 13 38 10
out of 4 reviews
“Good hotel and facilities for good price”
The hotel was recently renovated and looks good. There are two dining areas and a bar area that look comfortable and welcoming. We didn't eat dinner or breakfast so cannot comment on the quality of the food. Room was a decent size with iron, mini ironing board, kettle and biscuits. Can't ask for much more for this hotel at the price. Only criticism is the description of '20 mins from Liverpool' - more like 40 mins to the centre, unless I went the wrong way!
“one night stay for a party but would stay again”
lovely hotel very clean staff friendly lovely grounds
“Convenient friendly hotel”
Chose this hotel as it was convenient to the M6 and we were travelling a long distance and needed a stopover. Hotel staff very friendly, very young and very helpful. Room clean with large comfortable bed. Breakfast was very good indeed and nothing was too much trouble for the staff working in the breakfast room. The only down side was that a wedding party had been taking place in the hotel and the revelry went on into the small hours. These guests when decided to say goodnight to each other “a la the Walton’s”. The noise continued, on and off, until 3.25am. Had the wedding party had some consideration for the other patrons of this good hotel then my stay would have been 10 out of 10
“Easy access just off the M58”
Stayed at this hotel with my wife for 2 nights. Booked a basic room which was clean and comfortable with all necessary room attachments in good working order. Restaurant is pleasant, service is good. Two menus available, bar meals or main. Food was adequate and food and drink was priced at reasonable levels. All staff are helpful and courteous. Would stay there again.

Dirty ceiling, tired broken plastic fittings in the bathroom. The bed seemed clean.
I was over the pool and a night club. Both were noisy.
They do have an updated TV/internet/power supply on the desk which was great for charging devices though.

Groome Transportation and Executive Express announced that Groome Transportation will provide Executive Express’s Minnesota airport shuttle service starting this month. The service will be integrated with Groome’s existing Minnesota airport shuttle service and will operate out of the facility in Waite Park which was opened by Executive Express in 2018. Executive Express will continue to operate its charter, package delivery and Iowa shuttle businesses.
Travelers to and from the St. Cloud, Brainerd, Alexandria and Monticello areas will still receive the service for which both companies are known, along with upgrades to the fleet and website experience. Groome’s airport shuttle service offers 18 roundtrips daily, accommodating most travel schedules.
Cyrus resident Al Christopherson noted to KMRS that Morris is no longer a stop on the shuttle route from the Minneapolis airport with this change. Alexandria is the end of the line. “This will impact students and staff at the college and others who have relied on this service to get to and from the airport,” wrote Christopoherson.
Executive Express began service in Central Minnesota in 1979 and in Iowa in 2009. Executive Express continues to serve 25 Iowa communities with shuttle service to and from Des Moines International Airport and will continue to provide package delivery and private charter services in Central Minnesota.

Excellent budget hotel.
Situated between Puerta Del Sol and Gran Via the hotel could not be more central.The only downside is the street itself.The upper part being a red light district but it is in fact quite safe.If you walk straight ahead from the hotel you will be unaware of it.
The rooms are big and basically furnished with wooden floors.The bathrooms are big and modern.
Prices are much lower than similar hotels in the area. It is excellent value for money.

A high-tech boutique hotel is opening in Little Havana.
When it opens Dec. 28, Life House Little Havana will be the neighborhood’s first boutique hotel. The launch is also the first for Life House, a start-up lodging brand based in New York and backed by California and London investors. The 33-room hotel — which offers private rooms and a handful of group rooms — will cater to “mature millennials” looking for more than fun in the sun at accessible prices.
“It’s for people who are seeking substantial experiences,” said Life House co-founder and CEO Rami Zeidan. The brand, which offers affordable lodging with stylish amenities, is designed to connect people with the community around them.
Life House has raised $70 million in funding from Silicon Valley-venture capital firms Global Founders Capital, Comcast Ventures and Trinity Ventures, and London-based real estate firm Henley Investments. They’re betting that young travelers will gravitate toward the company’s tech-savvy, upscale, design-focused and local approach to travel.
It’s a niche that’s gaining traction. In 2013, Freehand opened an upscale hostel on Miami Beach. Just last month, the European hotel-hostel brand Generator opened in Miami Beach, with a mix of shared dorms and private rooms with large, comfortable common areas. Just a 15-minute walk from Life House Little Havana is the newly remodeled Tower Hotel Project, a 52-room hotel slated to open in February. (Construction delays pushed the opening back from its original September 2018 date.)
For travelers drawn to these lodgings, “What’s most important to you is value, value, value,” said Deanna Ting, Senior Hospitality Editor for Skift, a travel trade publication that monitors trends. “It’s everything you need and nothing you don’t. They’re not skimping on everything, it’s not bare bones. But they’re being really careful about what they curate.”
Life House embodies other key trends identified by Travel Market Report, a hospitality trade publication: connecting guests with the local community and making sure hotels tell stories.
Unique to Life House is proprietary software that allows travelers to manage their trips though an app if they choose. Guests can reserve rooms, check in and out, get to know each other before arrival, and chat with a concierge throughout their stay. Forums on wellness, nature, food and nightlife allow guests to check out local happenings. And no more waiting in line — guests can stroll right to their room and use the app as a key
“So much about our product is about the experience, and that includes the digital experience,” said Zeidan.
The technology also cuts costs. By having guests book directly though the app, Life House avoids paying commission to large-scale booking sites. “Technology allows us to circumvent the Expedias of the world,” said Zeidan.
The hotel will offer upscale touches — including Le Labo toiletries, a rooftop restaurant and bar with downtown Miami views, and a craft-cocktail cart that rolls the halls each evening. The rooftop will have a small wading pool. A standard queen room will cost about $149.
“We’re really trying to cater to people who want to stay at a boutique hotel but don’t want to spend $400 a night on it,” said Zeidan. Rooms range from traditional king and queen rooms and suites to group rooms with full-size bunk beds and private bathrooms.
Formerly the Thomas Jefferson Hotel, the building at 528 SW 9th Ave. dates from 1925. Life House bought the property in April for $8.6 million and gutted it. When renovations are complete, the hotel should feel like a worldly traveler’s mansion. The exterior will be painted terracotta and olive, reflecting colors seen elsewhere in the neighborhood. The lobby will feature it’s own cafecito window serving brew from Miami-based Per’La Roasters and will be filled with plants and artifacts.
Local bartender Brian Griffiths, an alumnus of the Broken Shaker, and chef Leo Pablo, who climbed the ladder at Jean-Georges restaurants, are spearheading the hotel’s restaurant and beverage development. The large garden flanking the hotel and the smaller rooftop garden will be sourced by the Little River Cooperative. Harvest from the garden will play a central role for the menu at the rooftop bar and restaurant, which will offer a Cuban-influenced cuisine.
“We came in and we said, what does this neighborhood need? Not another Cuban restaurant and not for us to pretend we can do Cuban better than the Cubans here,” said Zeidan. “The concepts are designed for the local community, what Little Havana needs, not for what the hotel guests need. Because what hotel guests in this day and age want is what the locals want.”
In recent years, Little Havana has become a booming tourist destination with about 2 million overnight visitors in 2017, up 3.6 percent from 2016, according to the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau. Visitors are drawn by the Tower Theater art film house, Ball and Chain restaurant/club, Azucar ice cream shop and a rash of new eateries.
Zeidan is a veteran of the hospitality real estate business who helped Starwood launch 1 Hotel and Sydell Group open Freehand Miami, both in Miami Beach. He hopes Life House Little Havana will bring positive gentrification to the community that will encourage more tourists to visit local businesses.
Life House plans to open its second, 26-room hotel in South Beach early next year. Denver and Brooklyn lodgings are also being planned. Travelers can begin reserving rooms online for the Little Havana location on Tuesday at lifehousehotels.com.

Number 8 is back on the holiday market after a gap of nearly five years, so we've given it a fresh look for 2013, including fabulous new bathrooms, new carpets and floor coverings, and a lick of paint all round. We've added some features including wi-fi, a 42" smart TV, a dishwasher and a Nespresso machine. We're sure you'll like the results.
As well as fresh bedlinen, we provide towels, toileteries and kitchen detergents. We always make sure there's tea and coffee in the kitchen, and a pint of milk in the fridge in case you need a quick cuppa after your journey. We'll even be here to welcome you on arrival !
The apartment is furnished to a high standard throughout and we make sure you have everything you might need in your holiday home so you can get on with enjoying your holiday.
The building sits on high ground overlooking the town and harbour. This property has a partial sea view from the main bedroom, and the living room looks out on St Baldred's church.

The Lothians region
East Lothian is the sunniest and the driest area of Scotland, and the mild climate in this sheltered corner of the country makes it a popular year-round holiday destination.
The coastline is punctuated with places of interest, including castles at Tantallon and Dirleton dating back to the 13th century. The area's many other attractions include beaches, historic homes and ancient monuments, good walking and cycling routes, and the best collection of golf courses to be found anywhere.
It's worth taking a day's drive through the East Lothian countryside. There are many places of interest and the county's interior is dotted with delightful villages where you can stop for refreshment at the many pubs and coffee shops.
The Bass Rock, 2 km offshore, is home to one of the world's largest gannet colonies and dominates the sea view from North Berwick, whilst Aberlady Bay (the UK's first local nature reserve) hosts thousands of migrating birds each autumn.
Edinburgh is just half an hour away by train. Scotland's capital city offers many attractions including the Castle, Holyrood palace, the quite unique Scottish Parliament building and Brittania (to name just a few !). The city is at it's busiest for three weeks every August during the Edinburgh International Festival.
North Berwick is a thriving coastal town with a long and colourful history. The growth of the 'Royal Burgh' is closely linked to the establishment of the railway line in the late 19th century, a time when North Berwick was a fashionable destination for the well to do in society, and became known as the 'Biarritz of the north'.
These days the town is home to a population of around 7,000 and is one of six main towns in East Lothian. Local infrastructure includes a high school, sports centre and swimming pool, health centre, shops, banks, pubs, restaurants, etc. There are golf, rugby, sailing and tennis clubs, and many other tourist attractions. Excellent transport links mean Edinburgh is easily accessible by road or rail.
Local attractions include Tantallon and Dirleton Castles, the Museum of Flight, Glenkinchie Disitillery, and the Scottish Seabird Centre. Boat trips to the Bass Rock and other islands are available from the old harbour in summer months.
At the heart of Edinburgh's golf coast, North Berwick is home to the West Links, the oldest piece of golfing land outside St Andrews and one of the finest courses to be found anywhere. Muirfield, Gullane, Dunbar, and the new courses at Archerfield and Renaissance are all just a short drive away.
For those who simply want to relax and unwind, there are miles of beautiful sandy beaches, good places to walk or cycle, and friendly pubs and restaurants.
Upcoming local events include:
- North Berwick Sevens Tournament (20th April)
- US Kids Golf European Championships, Gullane (28th-30th May, 2013)
- East Lothian Yacht Club Open Regatta (1st-2nd June, 2013)
- The Open Championship, Muirfield (18th-21st July, 2013)
- East Lothian Open Tennis Tournament, North Berwick (21st-26th July)
- North Berwick Highland Games (3rd Aug, 2013)
- The Fringe by the Sea (5th-11th Aug, 2013)
- North Berwick Cup, mixed 4's golf (6th-8th Sept)
- The Loony Dook (1st Jan, 2014) - watch 100's of crazy people get cold and wet in the sea !

"Excellent apartment in a lovely seaside town"
Beautifully equipped, spacious, light and comfortable apartment. Just across the road from the railway station and trains into Edinburgh and about 5 or 10 minutes walk to the centre of North Berwick with its lovely harbour, beaches and many restaurants. Ideal if you want to go the Festival but also want to be near a beach and some lovely walks, not to mention a great boat trip round Bass Rock.
27 Aug 2013
Everything was perfect and exactly what we had in mind. Very neat and everything was thought of. The apartment is right across from the train station meaning we didn't need a car for our whole stay. The Owner was very helpful and even came to collect us at the train station.
We travelled with our 1yr old and it was important for us to find a convenient, clean, comfortable place. Royal Apartments checked all the boxes.
P.S. The amazing golf courses within walking distance from the apartment was a welcome bonus!
4 Aug 2013
"Well located, extremely comfortable accommodation"
Close to the station and the high street, this is a comfortable well-equipped apartment which would suit families with children of any age.
The furnishings and appliances are modern and up to date and all linen and cleaning/washing materials are provided.
Would definitely recommend.

"Ideal place to stay for a family vacation in North Berwick"
Spacious apartment in an up-market apartment complex, tastefully decorated and furnished, fully equipped, everything in full working order. Just across the road from the railway station (it's the terminus, and the line runs away from the apartment, so you don't hear the trains), where there's a convenient service to Edinburgh. Only a couple of minutes' walk from the shops and restaurants on the high street.

What Past Guests Are Saying
West Bloomfield, MI USa
Love, love, love this place!
The 3 of us stayed at Blackie House for 4 nights in april. This was our favorite place of the many we visited. The location was perfect. We walked to almost everything, and when we needed a bus or train, they were a short walk away. The bathroom and kitchen had everything we needed, and the grocery was just a little walk down the hill. The sofa and chairs were pretty well shot, so it was a bit of a challenge to get out of them, but the character, history and location of this rental more than makes up for that.
I have just had a week's holiday at Blackie House. absolutely fabulous place. Wonderful location, couldn't be more central. the flat itself was beautifully furnished - very comfy beds and fabulous shower! Free reliable wifi. the owner has left a potted history of the flat which was extremely interesting, especially the story about the tomatoes - hilarious!! Although the flat is on the 4th floor, there is a lift (although not one for the claustrophobic!) I can't recommend this flat highly enough, I I would certainly stay there again. Really really lovely.

Blackie House is charming, unique, and comfortable.
Blackie House was everything we expected and more. The building, with its history and location, is charming. We loved the old-timey lift that took us up to the colorful and cozy apartment. The beds were comfortable, the rooms were large, and the kitchen was well-enough equipped to put together a spaghetti dinner one evening. The shower was excellent and the washing machine, although a challenge with its German language instructions, worked well. Katie was a pleasure to work with, and her colleague, Jack, gave us a thorough tour and warm welcome when we arrived. We were impressed with the nice touches like fresh fruit, milk and coffee, and shortbread cookies that were left for our enjoyment. The location could not have been any better. Within walking distance of almost everything we wanted to see. Surrounded by historical sights, restaurants, and shops. Blackie House helped make our trip to Edinburgh memorable indeed.
Bellissimo appartamento in pieno centro
Ho soggiornato in questo appartamento insieme a 3 amici per 3 giorni a fine aprile inizio maggio 2012...che dire?!?scelta azzeccatissima...padrona di casa gentilissima e disponibilissima, mi ha chiamato più volte per darmi le varie informazioni turistiche che avevo richiesto al mio arrivo!L'appartamento è in pieno centro, in un palazzo storico, ristrutturato ma è stata conservata la sua antichità ed autenticità...in questo modo riesce a farti vievere pienamente la splendida atmosfera di questa magica città!Ci sono tutte le comodità, riscaldamento è ok e wi-fi gratuita...anche se con una password chilometrica!Letti comodissimi e stanza pulite e spaziose...parquet scricchiolante ma ancora più caratteristico...esci e sei a due passi dal Castello ed inoltre c'è anche un bellissimo panorama dalle stanze...che dire...la consiglio vivamente!!!Ps: l'ascensore è mitica...eheheh...vedrete!!!

The best apartment we have ever stayed in.
The apartment in Blackie House is spacious, comfortable, warm, very well equipped and clean. There is a good service lift which helps moving bags to the fourth floor. It has a wonderful view of Edinburgh across Princes St to the River Tay. Its central location is very good for old town exploring, and eating places. Katie the owner was always available for help and advice if we needed it. We would definitely stay in the apartment again or any of their other accommodation.
Stunnng views, amazing location, beautiful decor, I want to go b
This was one of the nicest city holiday accommodations I have ever stayed in. It is such a historic building and you can feel the history of the place as you climb the stone staircase. The views of Princes Street Gardens will take your breath away. I stayed in the master bedroom of this house which was magnificent. I wasn't expecting the best facilities in such an old building but the shower was always hot with a nice strong flow and the kitchen had everything you could need. The living room was nice and cosy with ample room for 5 people. It was also very central with a lovely little restaurant 2 minutes away where we had breakfast. The castle is practically like your backyard as it's so close. Very impressed overall and will definitely be recommending it to all my friends.
