2008 Questionnaire stats are in and . . . . .

Bennington Properties receives an A- (92%) from their guests.

We are happy to be in the A's, but are unsatisfied with the overall ratings. We may never reach perfection, but we don't have to stop trying. The areas where we need the biggest improvements in are in housekeeping and the overall quality of the homes on our program. We are already in the process of improving both in 2009.

Here are the questions and their stats. Each question was rated on a 1 to 5 scale (5 being the highest).
