“I built up an excellent relationship with Jon when I was at Hawthorn and it's no secret we attempted to recruit him once before,”

“Together they are the Melville, Hawthorne, and Twain of the 20th century,”
Philip Roth
“We knew the half-backs would drop off for Hawthorn and as it evolved, the half-forwards push high up, so our half-back becomes our quarterback. He's our smartest player so he assumed that responsibility. We usually try to put Peter in where you've got to think your way through it the most.”
“He might appreciate the longer stretch at Hawthorne.”
Todd Pletcher
“Hawthorn want two first-round picks and that's what we are offering.”
Dean Laidley
“Considering the situation, they did a good job. It's not that we were horrible (against Hawthorne), but we're not going to overpower anybody.”
Al Wisnoski
“We already have cross-pollination between Microtel and Hawthorn franchisees. This was part of the integration strategy with Summerfield Suites and Hyatt Place. We're attracting some of the best franchisee companies. Just like guests, we want franchisees to be able to shop within the Hyatt family of brands. We want them to be able to develop at different price points.”
