HAT you pay for, when _ you go to a hotel, is comfort, cleanliness, an interested personal service. These hotels have gone farther, we believe, in supplying those things than have any other hotels anywhere. There’s not a room jn any of them which doesn’t have its own private bath, circulating ice water, and the other Statler convenien- ces that are built in, to make com- fort automatic, so far as possible. And you have more than one kind of restaurant tochoosefrom, in these hotels—for in ad- dition to the regular dining- rooms you expect to find in hotels of the first class, we provide also a cafeteria, or a lunch-counter, or both. As to cleanliness—we probably spend moremoney for maintenance of these houses than you’d consider at all reasonable or necessary. That's the way we keep our hotels new, our equipment and furnishings up to our high standard. We discard, every year, thousands 6 of dollars’ worth of furnishings which still have years of useful- ness in them, but which don’t qualify with us for “newness” of condition. And perhaps you know where we stand on the question of service. Our organizations are not new, but are well-built, well- trained, well-seasoned, operating under policies which state, with the utmost plainness, that no trans- action is concluded in these hotels until the guest is entirely satisfied. We pledge you, from the minute you come in our door, an interest- ed, gracious, satisfactory personal service from every employee with whom you come in contact—and there’s always somebody on the job, rep- resenting the management, to see that you get prompt adjustment and satisfaction if you have to complain. Thoseareall things that you're entitled to when you're traveling. And you'll always get them at these hotels. P20Na in Rates are unusually low in comparison with those of other first-class hotels: Single rooms are from $3 in Cleveland, Detroit and Sr. Louis; from $3.50 And remember that every room in these houses has its own private in Buffalo, and from $4 in New York. bath. circulating ice water, and many other conveniences that are unusual. Twin-bed rooms (for two, with shower bath) are from $5.50 in In every room, too, is posted a card on which is printed the price of Cleveland, Detroit and Sr. Louis; from $6.80 in Buffalo, and from $7 in that room. We believe in the policy of one price, and a square deal— New York. and therefore mark our goods in plain figures. ~ Boston’s Hotel Statler is building: In the Park Square District of Boston (Columbus Ave., at Arlington and Providence Streets) construction has begun on the new: Hotel Statler—which will have 1300 rooms, 1300 baths, and all the comforts and conveniences for which these hotels ate world-famous, ; Hotel Buffalo—and Niagara ‘ Bulfalo—delightfully situated few York on Niagara Square.
