HP Hotels has worked hard over the years to find quality vendors that deliver superior service, product and pricing. AFP has been our fitness equipment vendor for many years. AFP provides the TOTAL PACKAGE, and we won’t work with anyone but AFP because our account manager Joelle McCasland has worked hard to deliver what our standards demand. We use AFP across our entire portfolio of hotels including Hilton, IHG, and Choice brands.
