Corporate Housing Provider Suite Home Chicago Successfully Completes Quality Assurance Program
Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) October 26, 2016 -- As a local leader of fully furnished apartments in the Midwest, the team at Suite Home Chicago strives to maintain the highest standards of quality and service. On October 18, 2016, Suite Home was granted Quality Accreditation by the Association of Serviced Apartment Providers (ASAP), confirming our level of commitment to providing our guests with the best possible experience.
As stated on the Corporate Housing Providers Association (CHPA) website, “ASAP professional quality assessors use a well-tested and successful process of assessing a sample of the operator’s inventory by mirroring the guest experience. Areas assessed include Guest Experience, Housekeeping/Maintenance, Exterior/Arrival, Living/Dining Room, Bedroom(s), Bathroom(s), Kitchen, and Additional Facilities. Assessors conduct a detailed overnight assessment by staying in one of the apartments, followed by up to 9 further apartment assessments the next day. Each day assessment typically takes 30-45 minutes to complete. Assessment scores and comments are based on the operator's communications about their apartments, actual online reviews and guest evaluations, as well as adherence to applicable safety and operational regulations.
Housekeeping forms a major part of the assessment process and is not limited to the importance of cleanliness. The process is designed to ensure other critical factors such as television remote controls, lights bulbs and digital clocks are all operational and working effectively. Specific focus is given to the comfort of the bed, the condition of the apartment in general and that it is being advertised accurately.
“I am thrilled to have successfully completed this quality assurance assessment,” Suite Home Operations Manager Sarah DiDavide said. “Our guests mean everything to us and we always want to provide the best temporary housing experience we can and quality control is absolutely key to a successful stay.”
Owner Jennifer Breen added, “I am proud of our Operations team. They completed this assessment process at the height of their busy season and came out with flying colors.”
“In addition, our amazing and dedicated housekeeping team received near perfect scores. That is incredible news and I could not be more proud of our team," Breen said.
Suite Home Chicago underwent quality assessment inspections at four of their properties downtown, including inspections at Aqua in Lakeshore East, Marquee at Block 37 in the Loop, Moment in Streeterville, and Mila on Michigan Avenue. The company plans to have their suburban inventory inspected in next year’s reassessment.
