La Quinta Boosts Company-Owned Hotels Through Alliance With Sleepwell Laboratories
Thursday March 31, 10:00 am ET
- On-property sleep labs provide an innovative use of inventory to help hotels achieve occupancy goals and boost revenue in local markets -
- La Quinta Inn & Suites Phoenix Mesa West is the first La Quinta to open a Sleepwell facility -
Dallas-based La Quinta Corporation (NYSE: LQI - News) and Encino, California-based Sleepwell Laboratories announced the companies have reached an agreement to introduce Sleepwell’s state of the art sleep labs into company-owned La Quinta and Baymont hotels in select markets around the country. They also announced that the first sleep lab to open in a La Quinta is operational at the La Quinta Inns & Suites Phoenix Mesa West, 902 West Grove Avenue, Mesa, Arizona. The Phoenix sleep lab has already provided sleep testing to dozens of Phoenix-area residents — and in the process, opened new revenue opportunities for the hotel.
Wayne Goldberg, Executive Vice President of Operations for La Quinta, said the agreement with Sleepwell “represents a new and innovative way of thinking about inventory management and revenue-generation in local hotel markets.” He continued, “The excitement generated by the opening of the Phoenix sleep facility indicates that the marriage between hotels and sleep centers is an idea whose time has come.”
With more than 70 million Americans suffering from sleep disorders. Sleepwell establishes and operates hotel-based testing facilities that diagnose and treat such disorders. While sleep diagnostic centers have traditionally been located in office buildings or hospitals, Sleepwell utilizes the clean, quiet, amenity-rich environment of first-class hotels to provide patients with a comfortable, friendly location for an overnight sleep test.
Hosting a Sleepwell facility offers significant benefits for the host hotel, including higher revenues with increased occupancy; free local advertising, positive word-of-mouth and increased foot traffic in the community; long-term room commitments from a solid company in a growing industry, and labor savings as a result of reduced housekeeping costs.
Sleepwell President and Chief Executive Officer David Kaye said, “We are delighted to be working with La Quinta, one of the industry’s leading companies, to introduce the Sleepwell concept to the industry — and we are confident others will soon benefit from the opportunities Sleepwell provides.” He concluded, “Offering long-term leases, enhanced revenue streams and cost- savings, we look forward to making a lasting impact for hoteliers and hotel companies across the country.”
In addition to the La Quinta location in Mesa, the company operates sleep lab facilities in Portland, Oregon, Houston, Texas, and Salt Lake City, Utah. Through innovative long-term lease agreements for ten rooms or more, hotels benefit via increased occupancy and guaranteed revenue streams for five years or more.
About Sleepwell
Sleepwell Laboratories is a pioneer in bringing together the hotel industry and the medical industry for the diagnosis and treatment of a national problem, sleep disorders, by establishing medical sleep labs in first-class hotels across the country. The company currently has sleep test locations in four major metropolitan areas, has agreements for the development of additional sites with two national hotel brands, and anticipates expanding the system aggressively.

LookSmart Launches First Vertical Search Engines Aimed at Targeted Demographics Online: Teens, Tweens, College Students and Parents
Consumers Can Now Depend on Highly Relevant Results That Meet Their Needs
LookSmart (Nasdaq:LOOK) (ASX:LOK), a leader in search, announced today the launch of its first five vertical search destinations to provide niche audiences with essential search results, versus the typically exhaustive returns from other search engines.
After analyzing audience and research data from FindArticles, LookSmart has developed five separate vertical content destinations, including homework helpers: the trendy www.teenja.com for teens; the more studious www.gradewinner.com for “tweens;” and www.24hourscholar.com for college students. Two additional resources are dedicated to parents — www.parentsurf.com for all family matters, and www.gobelle.com for moms on the go.
Consumers can now depend on highly targeted results from these vertical sites, saving them time and effort as they seek to find quality content that’s relevant to their needs.
“LookSmart believes that search on the Web will become increasingly vertical and personal. Consumers turn to the Web in search of essential content, be it related to a hobby, work or education,” says Debby Richman, senior vice president of consumer products for LookSmart. “The new verticals were developed to build upon LookSmart’s core demographics of researchers and families from the company’s existing consumer products, FindArticles and Net Nanny.”
The vertical search destinations — and all other LookSmart search properties — will soon be tightly integrated via “Furl,” LookSmart’s consumer online filing cabinet. After researching and pinpointing information on the new verticals, Furl enables users to quickly save content to a personal archive, as well as easily share the information with others. Furl also allows users to search across a member network, which builds associations between individuals who share a passion.
About LookSmart
LookSmart is a leader in commercial search services and a developer of innovative Web search solutions. The Company provides consumers with relevant search results through FindArticles.com and its vertical search engines. Its distribution network includes LookSmart.com, Lycos, CNET, InfoSpace (Excite, MetaCrawler, Webcrawler), Cox Interactive, Apple’s Sherlock, and U.C. Berkeley, and delivers high performance sales leads at a reasonable price to online businesses. LookSmart is based in San Francisco, California.
