BEVERLY HILLS, CA, June 21, 2006. This Fourth of July, a day full of all-American traditions, Doubletree Hotels is offering the all-American "sweet treat" of complimentary, freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies to anyone who walks into any of its more than 160 U.S. properties on the Fourth of July. No purchase is necessary. People may simply walk into any Doubletree hotel between 12:01 a.m. and 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, July 4, 2006 to be welcomed with a delicious, warm chocolate chip cookie, while supplies last.
The Doubletree tradition of greeting guests at check-in with its legendary, warm chocolate chip cookie has set the standard for welcoming hotel guests. More than 150 million of the 2 1/2 ounce cookies, which boast an average of 20 chocolate chips, have been presented to travelers during the past two decades.
Our "Free Cookies on the Fourth" promotion is a fun way to celebrate patriotism and satisfy chocolate cravings across America, without even needing to be a guest," said Dave Horton, senior vice president - brand management. "We're expecting to give out thousands of cookies to our guests and our communities this Independence Day - certainly more than any bakery or cookie company will sell that day!"
