Katnip Kollege

**Katnip Kollege** is a 1951 short animated by Alexander Williamsburg.

## Plot

In the "Swingology" classroom at Katnip Kollege, the cats are learning about jazz and how to swing. The cats sing a good morning to the professor cat who rises up out of the floor with his desk while producing musical instrument jazz with his vocal ability solely and the cats will be her sister to Mandrilla. The professor first calls on Mr Jones to recite his history lesson. Mr Jones sings about Columbus discovering America. Next, the professor calls on Downtown Miss Kitty Bright who sings her homework about Napoleon. Next to be called on is Johnny, who doesn't know how to swing. The professor calls his attempt "corny" and, to make matters worse, gives him a ten-hour sentence to the corner to sit on a stool and wear a dunce cap. All the cats are dismissed, with the exception of Johnny (because he won't go anywhere due to his punishment), at which the other students tease him for not knowing how to swing. Kitty returns his fraternity pin to him as she leaves, and tells him to call her when he learns how to swing.

Later that night, as all the other cats jam at an outdoor caterwaul, Johnny is suddenly inspired by the rhythm of a cuckoo clock. He runs to join the group and shocks everyone with a flawlessly jazzy rendition of "Easy as Rollin' off a Log" sung (and trumpeted) to Kitty. At the end of the song they fall into each other's arms, "rolling" off the log they were using as their stage. Kitty covers his face in kisses as the action ends.

Homewood Suites

**Homewood Suites by Hilton** is an American chain of all-suite residential-style hotels managed by the Hilton Worldwide. As of December 31, 2018, the chain consists of 482 hotels in the United States, Canada, and Mexico with 54,836 rooms. 460 Homewood Suites hotels are independently owned and operated by franchisees with 52,462 rooms, while 22 hotels are managed with 2,374 rooms.

Homewood Suites competes in the upscale tier of the extended-stay market, along with Staybridge Suites by IHG and Residence Inn by Marriott.

## History

The first Homewood Suites was founded in Omaha, Nebraska in 1989. For the next ten years, the hotel chain was owned by Memphis-based Promus Hotel Corporation, which also owned Embassy Suites, Hampton Inn and Doubletree. Hilton purchased Promus in 1999 for $3.1 billion, making Homewood Suites a Hilton brand alongside the other three Promus chains. In 2000, Homewood Suites changed its name to Homewood Suites by Hilton, reflecting the change of ownership that went into effect the year before.

Econo Lodge

**Econo Lodge** is an economy motel chain based in the United States and Canada. Econo Lodge is the second-largest brand in the Choice Hotels system. It aims to provide affordable rooms to budget travelers. The properties contain a minimum of 40 guest rooms and are often located near highways or highway access. All hotels provide a free breakfast. While most of the properties are conversions, Choice Hotels plans to add more new-construction properties to the Econo Lodge brand.

As of March 31, 2019, there are 837 Econo Lodge hotels open with 50,539 rooms. There are Econo Lodge motels in every US state and Canadian province.

## History

The idea was begun by Norfolk, Virginia developer Vernon Myers and his son, Vernon Jr. in 1969 as **Econo-Travel** and they were joined by Lloyd Tarbutton, a local businessman.

Tarbutton took on the project, finding investors and money, as well as doing extensive market research, to see if the concept would work. The chain's mascot in the early days was "Sandy", a girl in a short Scotch skirt and tam. The first hotel, still operating at 865 North Military Highway in Norfolk, was built for $275,000. Its daily rate for rooms was $7 single, $9 double, and $11 for four.

Tarbutton sold the chain, which had 306 locations, in 1983 for $836 million. He had begun to change the name on all locations to Econo Lodge in the latter 1970s. The brand went through ups and downs and a number of owners after the founders sold out. It fell into the hands of investor Paul Wallace, whose fund bought the brand, refurbished it, mended relations with franchisees, and then sold it to what is now Choice Hotels International in 1990. It is the more upscale of the group's economy brands; its sister brand, Rodeway Inn, usually has fewer amenities.
Drury Hotels

**Drury Hotels Company, LLC** is an American hospitality company which operates a chain of mid-scale limited service hotels under the brands Drury Inn and Suites (its flagship brand), Drury Inn, Drury Suites, Drury Plaza Hotel, and Pear Tree Inn. As of 2018, the chain operates more than 150 locations in 25 states. It is wholly owned by the Drury family and is headquartered in metropolitan St. Louis.

## History

The company was founded by the sons of Lambert Drury, a farmer who lost his farm during the Great Depression and then founded a plastering company. The Drury Development Corporation was founded in 1959. The Drury family built its first hotel, a Holiday Inn, in 1962 in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. The family started Drury Hotels in 1973 and built its first Drury Inn in Sikeston, Missouri. The Drury Hotels company operates non-Drury hotels as well. In the 1990s, the chain introduced a third brand, Thrifty Inn.

One of the founders, James Drury, died on March 17, 2008, in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. A second founder, Robert Drury, died on November 28, 2013, in San Antonio.

In 2019, Drury Hotels earned its 14th-straight J.D. Power & Associates award for highest guest satisfaction in upper midscale hotels, the longest-running streak in the category.

Extended Stay America

**Extended Stay America, Inc.** is the operator of an economy, extended-stay hotel chain consisting of 629 properties in the United States and Canada. It is publicly traded as a "paired share" with the real estate investment trust **ESH Hospitality, Inc.**, the owner of the hotels. Extended Stay America is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina.

## History

Extended Stay America was founded on January 9, 1995, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida by George D. Johnson, Jr. and Wayne Huizenga, both former executives from Viacom and its subsidiary Blockbuster. The first two Extended Stay America hotels opened in August 1995 in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and Marietta, Georgia. The company was listed on the NASDAQ on December 14, 1995. Extended Stay America acquired the extended-stay hotel chain StudioPLUS on April 11, 1997. The company also developed the Crossland Economy Studios brand as a budget, extended-stay hotel compared the mid-priced StudioPLUS and economy Extended Stay America brands. In 2013, the company moved its headquarters from Spartanburg to Charlotte, North Carolina.

### Blackstone Group

The Blackstone Group, a private equity firm, acquired Extended Stay America in May 2004 for a total cost of US$3.1 billion in cash and debt. At the time of the merger, Extended Stay America operated 475 hotels; Blackstone increased that number with the addition of 132 from Homestead Studio Suites. Homestead, which was founded by Security Capital in 1992, had been acquired by Blackstone in November 2001 for US$740 million. All of Blackstone's extended-stay hotels—consisting of the Crossland, Extended Stay America, Homestead, StudioPlus, and, eventually, Extended Stay Deluxe brands—were managed together by Extended Stay Hotels.

Blackstone sold Extended Stay Hotels in June 2007 to the Lightstone Group for US$8 billion. The deal, financed with US$7 billion of debt, was one of several multibillion-dollar hotels and casino sales made that year. On June 15, 2009, Extended Stay America filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11. After the Great Recession decimated leisure and business travel, Extended Stay faced shortages in liquidity stemming from the leveraged buyout by Lightstone two years before. Through debtor-in-possession financing, it was able to continue operating rather than to face liquidation.

In July 2010, an investment consortium made up of Blackstone, Paulson & Co., and Centerbridge Partners bought Extended Stay America through a bankruptcy auction for US$3.93 billion. After its successful reorganization, Extended Stay America emerged from bankruptcy in October 2010. A year after the bankruptcy, Blackstone was sued by creditors of Extended Stay America alleging that Blackstone "skimmed" US$2.1 billion off of the sale to Lightstone and knew that the amount of debt would have been unsustainable for the hotel chain; Blackstone settled the lawsuit in June 2013 for US$10 million.
Country by Radisson

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, formerly Country Inns & Suites by Carlson and Country Inns by Carlson, is a hotel chain of the Radisson Hotel Group (former Carlson Hotels). It was established by the former Carlson Hotels' owner, Carlson Companies in 1986 as a "middle-class" brand. The sister brand, Radisson Hotels was classified as full-service, upscale brand of the group. Carlson Companies also owned the namesake, Country Kitchen restaurant chain at that time. In January 2018, two years after Carlson sold Carlson–Rezidor hotel group to HNA Group, the chain was rebranded into "Country Inn & Suites by Radisson
Canopy

**Canopy by Hilton**, or **canopy**, is a hotel brand by Hilton, announced in October 2014 with the first property opening in Iceland in July 2016, and two in the United States in early 2018. Canopy is Hilton's twelfth brand; as of March 2018, approximately thirty properties were under development in the United States and Europe. As of December 31, 2018, it has 8 locations with 1,244 rooms, including one that is managed with 150 rooms and seven that are franchised with 1,094 rooms.

## History

Prior to announcing the Canopy brand in October 2014, Hilton conducted several years of research and consumer testing by surveying more than 9,000 American, British, and Chinese travelers to help shape the concept. During this time, the brand also experienced a "false start" that set its launch back by at least two years, the result of a 2010 legal settlement with Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, which alleged that Hilton gained possession of their documents related to lifestyle brand development. Though Hilton did not admit to any wrongdoing, the company agreed to a payment to Starwood and to delay the brand's launch by two years. Hilton initially confirmed plans for eleven properties in Europe and the United States. In 2015, Canopy by Hilton confirmed properties were being developed in eight American cities and Iceland.. Hilton announced plans to develop a Canopy property in San Antonio in 2016. Hilton's goal is to have 100 properties open or in development in both major metropolitan areas and mid-size cities within five years of the brand's launch.

DoubleTree

**DoubleTree by Hilton** is an American hotel chain and a part of Hilton Worldwide. Most DoubleTree hotels are independently owned and operated by franchisees, but some are managed by Hilton Worldwide. DoubleTree has been the fastest growing Hilton brand by number of properties since 2007, and by number of rooms from 2007–2015, until in 2016 Hilton Garden Inn opened more rooms. As of December 31, 2018, it has 559 properties with 130,714 rooms, including 117 that are managed with 33,779 rooms and 442 that are franchised with 96,935 rooms.

DoubleTree competes in the full service category, alongside sister chain Hilton Hotels & Resorts. Among the many signature things that DoubleTree is known for is their famous chocolate chip cookies, which were originally made in the early 1980s for VIPs but now given to all guests and made by Nashville-based Christie Cookie Company for over 30 years.

## History

The first DoubleTree hotel opened in Scottsdale, Arizona, in 1969. It was located on the grounds of Scottsdale Fashion Square and was built by Sam Kitchell. The Doubletree Corporation merged with Promus Hotel Corporation in December 1997, bringing together the Doubletree, Red Lion, Hampton Inn, and Embassy Suites brands. In December 1999, Hilton Hotels Corporation acquired Promus Hotel Corporation which brought Doubletree Hotels and other Promus hotel brands under the umbrella of the newly renamed Hilton Worldwide. In early 2011, Hilton Worldwide launched a logo and name rebranding for the chain, replacing the name "Doubletree" with "DoubleTree by Hilton".

DoubleTree's strategy to grow the brand has been to convince operators of other brands to switch flags. This is in contrast to brands like Marriott or Sheraton which rely on new construction to grow their footprint. DoubleTree also provides lower cost options to improve properties, which help operators remain in the brand system.

The world's largest DoubleTree, a 1,094 room resort, opened in Orlando, Florida on International Drive in 2009 after a renovation that cost $35 million.

CONRAD

**Conrad Hotels & Resorts** is an international brand of luxury hotels and resorts owned and operated by Hilton Worldwide. Conrad was considered the luxury flagship brand in the Hilton Family of Brands, named after company founder Conrad Hilton, until being supplanted by The Waldorf-Astoria Collection in 2006. As of December 31, 2018, it has 33 locations with 10,625 rooms, including two that are owned or leased with 778 rooms, 29 that are managed with 8,874 rooms, and two that are franchised with 973 rooms.

## History

Barron Hilton, son of Conrad Hilton, founded Conrad Hotels, taking the name from that of his father. Hilton Hotels was, at the time, a separate company from Hilton International, and could not operate hotels outside the United States under the Hilton name. The newly named chain solved that problem. Hilton International had already started their own chain of Vista Hotels within the United States, as they faced the same prohibition on operating there under the Hilton name. The first Conrad hotel, the Conrad Jupiters Gold Coast in Australia, opened its doors in 1985.

When the two Hilton chains were rejoined in 2005, the need for the Vista and Conrad names vanished. Vista was phased out, while the Conrad brand was retained as a luxury wing of Hilton. Numerous hotels have since been opened under that name in the United States.

Hawthorn Suites

**Hawthorn Suites** is a chain of hotels in the United States owned by Wyndham Hotels and Resorts.

Most Hawthorn Suites offer amenities such as meeting rooms, exercise facilities, swimming pools, and a free hot buffet breakfast and dinner. It competes with Hilton's Homewood Suites, Hyatt's Hyatt House, Marriott's Residence Inn, and InterContinental's Staybridge Suites in the upper-moderate to low upscale segment of the extended-stay market. Since Hawthorn is not an entirely exclusive extended-stay brand, however, it may also compete with Marriott's SpringHill Suites and Comfort Suites in the non-extended-stay, all-suite segment of the market. As of December 31, 2018, it has 110 properties with 10,633 rooms.

## History

The chain was founded in 1983 and was initially acquired in 1985 by the Pritzker family, owners of the Hyatt Hotel Chain. The brand grew from 10 hotels to 17 during the Pritzker's ownership. In 1996 the Pritzker’s signed an agreement with US Franchise Systems, Inc. granting all franchising rights for Hawthorn Suites to USFS. In early 1998 USFS purchased Hawthorn completely from the Pritzker family and continued to grow the brand at a rapid pace, reaching over 100 hotels. In November 2000 Hawthorn Suites' parent company, US Franchise Systems, was purchased by the business interests of the Pritzker family. On July 21, 2008, Wyndham Hotels and Resorts purchased US Franchise Systems, Inc., owner of the Microtels and Hawthorn Suites brands for $150 million. US Franchise Systems had previously sold the America's Best Inn (formerly Best Inns) chain to the Country Hearth Inns chain to brothers Mike and R. C. Patel (since renamed America's Best Franchising Inc.) in 2005.

Alila

**Alila Hotels and Resorts** is a luxury hotel brand that operates in Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Oman, China and the United States. Alila became a part of the American multinational hospitality company, Hyatt Hotels Corporation in November 2018.

## History

Meaning "surprise" in Sanskrit, Alila Hotels and Resorts was founded in May 2001 by Indonesian businessman Franky Tjahyadikarta, banker Mark Edleson, and hotelier Frederic Simon. The company was launched when Edleson and Tjahyadikarta started the contentious management takeover of their then GHM-managed hotels in Bali, then known as *The Serai* and *The Chedi*. The first Alila hotel opened in Jakarta in 2001, shortly followed by the opening of Alila Manggis and Alila Ubud, following their termination from GHM. In 2004, the company's headquarters were moved from Bali, Indonesia to Singapore.

In May 2014, Alila announced a partnership with Commune Hotels, owners of Joie de Vivre Hotels, Thompson Hotels and tommie. Shortly after the initial partnership, Commune acquired 51% purchase of Alila in Edleson's bid to expand ownership. In 2016, the Alila and the other Commune-owned brands were absorbed into the newly created holding company Two Roads Hospitality, following Commune's merger with Destination Hotels. In November 2018, Alila joined Hyatt as part of the Hyatt Hotels Corporation's $480 million-acquisition of Two Roads Hospitality.

As of December 31, 2018, it has 63 hotels with 15,467 rooms.

## History

Delta was founded by William Pattison in 1962 in Richmond, British Columbia, with a single 62-room motor inn called Delport Inn, and the chain expanded across British Columbia by 1970.

Delta had a hotel in the United States, the Delta Court of Flags Hotel, located in Orlando, Florida, but it was closed sometime after 1996 and subsequently demolished. The hotel chain was a 100% holding of Fairmont Hotels and Resorts from 1998 to 2007.

On October 2, 2007, British Columbia Investment Management Corporation announced that it had acquired Delta Hotels. On March 31, 2015, Marriott International bought Delta Hotels from BC Investment Management Corporation.

Delta is now a wholly-owned brand of Marriott and is included in the Marriott Rewards (now known as Marriott Bonvoy) loyalty program as of early 2016.

Holiday Inn Express

**Holiday Inn Express** is a mid-priced hotel chain within the InterContinental Hotels Group family of brands. Originally founded as an "express" hotel, their focus is on offering limited services at a reasonable price. Standard amenities lean toward the convenient and practical which cater to business travelers and short-term stays. As of September 2019, there are 2,826 Holiday Inn Express hotels featuring over 292,000 rooms worldwide.

The Holiday Inn Express concept was intended to target the "upper economy" market segment, offering limited service, low-price lodging.

In Europe, the hotels were known as **Express by Holiday Inn**, but this variation was phased out during the Holiday Inn Global Brand Relaunch which was announced in 2006

## History

Holiday Inn Express was founded in 1990 under the ownership of Bass. Plans at the time called for 250 locations to be open by 1995.

In 1996, the brand's first European location opened in Scotland.

### Marketing

Starting in 1998, Holiday Inn Express started an ad campaign that featured ordinary people achieving superior feats, such as averting a nuclear disaster or performing like rock stars. When questioned on whether or not they are professionals, they would attribute their skills to their stay there with the reply: "No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!" The commercials originally ended with the tag line "It won't make you smarter. But you'll feel smarter." which was changed to "Stay smart, Stay at Holiday Inn Express." in 2000. The ads were created by Fallon Minneapolis, a unit of the French Publicis Group. These ads have received positive reviews, and have been so successful they have crossed over into popular culture, having been featured in late night comedian jokes and political cartoons. The ad campaign continued to air until 2009. It was revived in 2014 with new ads featuring comedian Jim Gaffigan. In 2015, ads featuring comedian Rob Riggle were produced.

Q&A

***Q&A*** - trwająca seria na kanale Nero, która została rozpoczęta pod koniec lipca 2018 po zakończeniu serii *Zagrajmy w Sonic Mania Plus*. Zostało już przesłane 5 odcinków. Odcinki następujące pojawiają się nieregularnie, tak jakby gdzieś po miesiącach, mimo tego, wielu widzów Nera pyta go, kiedy kolejny Q&A i że nie mogą się już doczeka następnych.

## Ciekawostki

* Limit, które Nero zapowiedział, ma być jedynie 20 pytań, mimo, że było już zadane np. 30 czy 50.
* Q&A, jakie jest pokazywane, to kamerka i jakaś gra grana przez Nera w tle.
