Carol Latta is visiting hotels in Los Angeles to decide where to hold a convention for a national organization of college business school teachers she represents. There are three hotels from which to choose€”the Cheraton, the Milton, and the Harriott. The criteria she is to use to make her selection are ambiance, location (based on safety and walking distance to attractions and restaurants), and cost to the organization. Following are the pairwise comparisons she has developed that indicate her preference for each hotel for each criterion and her pairwise comparisons for the criteria:

Develop an overall ranking of the three hotels, using AHP, to help Carol Latta decide where to hold themeeting.
