Karen Windsor, General Manager.

On March 5th, 2008 the Zion Country Inn & Suites By Carlson was presented with a 2007 Country Inns & Suites By Carlson President’s Award.  The honor is presented to the properties within the national chain that ha achieved top scores in guest satisfaction. 

The results are measured by guest feedback for cleanliness and consistency in meeting, and often exceeding, the brand’s product quality standards.  Steve Mogck, Executive Vice President of Franchise Operations for Country Inns & Suites By Carlson, presented the award to Karen Windsor, General Manager of the Country Inn & Suites By Carlson in Zion for the achievement at the Carlson Hotels Worldwide Global Business Conference in Las Vegas.  “We are honored to be recognized for our service here in Zion, a community I have come to know and admire greatly.” 

Country Inns & Suites BY Carlson offers locations that feature traditional architecture and sophisticated residential interior design with hardwood flooring and signature lobby fireplace.  The Zion property also features a unique attribute, a replica of the dome from the original Zion Hotel, the original of which can still
be seen today at the corner of Sheridan and 26th Street in downtown Zion.  

Each Country Inn property welcomes guests with services and amenities to meet the needs of both business and leisure travelers. In addition to amenities often found at higher-priced hotels such as complimentary hot breakfast, in-room hair dryer, iron and full size ironing board, and weekday newspaper, Country Inn & Suites provides a Read It & Return Lending Library at its hotels in the U.S, and Canada.  When guests return the books to any Country Inns & Suites hotel, a charitable donation is made by Country Inns & Suites to support literacy.

Country Inns & Suites is known for its consistently high quality accommodations and personal, warm hospitality.  In Zion, the management caters to the needs of a great number of guests in the area for services offered through Midwestern Regional Medical Center and Cancer Treatment Centers of America.  The hotel staff has always provided a welcoming environment for local meetings, events and has been a supporting partner in the successful workforce development project, Bee-Prentice for three seasons.   

Congratulations to all the members of the Zion Country Inn & Suites Hotel for a remarkable achievement that recognizes their excellent management team under the direction of Karen Windsor as well as their sincere compassion and respect for the comfort and needs of each and every guest.  Thank you for ‘bee-ing’ such
a great first impression of Zion!
