  • Location of the hotel
  • Classification of the hotel
  • Year built/started/in existence
• Amenities and cost of rooms when it was built compared to the present
• How industry growth has affected careers at this hotel
  • Careers in the beginning of the hotel versus the present
  • The number of employees in the beginning versus the present
  • Compare these finding to how modifications in the hotel market in general have changed over time
