"With the opening of two hotels in Florida, another in Texas (bringing us to 99 hotels total in that state) and our fifth property to open in Vermont, we are setting the pace for a wide-reaching growth plan that will continue to take shape this year. And this is just the beginning -- we have even more in store development-wise for 2007," added Cordell.
