With positioning and core values in place, the next phase of rebranding efforts revolved around developing a brand communication platform that would enable the clear message of the brand both internally and to guests. For Red Lion, that message is MAKE IT #WorthIt. Guest Programming | Branding 25 MAKE IT # What Is MIWI? MAKE IT #WorthIt is the new brand communication platform for Red Lion Hotels and Red Lion Inn & Suites. The words act as a tagline for the hotels while also serving a much bigger purpose—that of the brand communication platform, influencing what Red Lion promises and delivers. What Does MIWI Mean? Think about the greatest travel experiences of your life. The ones that you find yourself recounting to friends time and again. That great view you hiked up to on the recommendation of a local or that incredible restaurant you discovered that wasn’t covered in any travel guide. What do these have in common? Not settling for the norm and pushing yourself to experience something unique. These are the kinds of experiences Red Lion opens the door to. Business or pleasure, our guests come inspired. MAKE IT #WorthIt promises that we’ll encourage each and every guest to make the most of their stay. Guest Programming | Branding 26 How Does MIWI Impact Red Lion? MAKE IT # is the new brand communication platform for Red Lion Hotels and Red Lion Inn & Suites, serving as the brand tagline and promise. MAKE IT # enforces the core values, inspiring travelers to go the extra mile to make the most of their trips. MAKE IT # serves as a genuine way of communicating special deals and offers. Book two nights and get the third free. #WorthIt. MAKE IT # speaks to the value Red Lion offers. Spending less on a place to sleep so you can do more with your trip? #WorthIt. MAKE IT # acts as an authentic way to communicate the brand offering without overpromising.

Summary of the Proposed Subject Property The feasibility study considers development of a proposed hotel in Downtown Berryville on or proximate to Main Street. The subject site has average access to major roadway (State Route 7) because of its proposed location in downtown Berryville's Main Street district, limiting its visibility and ease of ingress and egress from a major roadway. While the proposed site is proximate to some demand generators, the low density of commercial developments in the area is projected to be a weakness. Leisure attractions in Berryville and Clarke County including vineyards, historic manors and event venues, and Barns of Rose Hill will help mitigate this weakness. Visibility is considered to be average, relative to other historic downtown locations, due to its proposed multi- level configuration, assumed signage, and on or proximate to Main Street. State Route 7, which connects Berryville to neighboring Winchester and Leesburg, is less than a mile north from central downtown.

The selection of an appropriate franchise affiliation affects a property’s ability to compete in its local market, generate profits, and achieve a desirable image and market orientation. Because the success of a hotel is based primarily on the cash flow generated, owners and lenders must weigh the benefits of a brand affiliation against the total cost of such a commitment. Please note that the study results are not indicative of the impact an individual brand may have on a hotel’s overall profitability because only the costs, and not the benefits of the franchise affiliations, have been analyzed. Furthermore, the study does not reflect, nor does it claim to address, operating results of any one brand or any particular brand affiliation upon any single hotel property. The 2018 U.S. Franchise Fee Guide is meant to illustrate a basic comparison among franchise fees charged by participants. HVS has extensive experience with assisting clients in selecting the appropriate franchise and/or management brand for their proposed or existing hotels.
