Best Western has awarded the Jean Webb Award for Quality, Customer Care and Pride to Suzanne Harris of the Sudbury House Hotel, at the group’s annual Hotel of the Year Awards.

The award, which is named after the hotelier and late wife of Michael J Webb, whose Webb hotels owns and operates Moor Hall in Sutton Coldfield plus three other Best Western hotels, was awarded to Harris after a unanimous decision by judges.

Over 400 Best Western hotel operators and executives attended the awards ceremony held at the Celtic Manor Resort, which rewarded those hotels that had achieved excellence over the past year.
