Golden Spur Presented to Tyler Benz of Homewood Suites by Hilton Jackson Hole

The Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce Membership Committee is pleased to announce that the Golden Spur, formerly known as the Western Hospitality Award, will be presented to Tyler Benz of Homewood Suites by Hilton Jackson Hole.

Joe Madera, General Manager of Homewood Suites by Hilton Jackson Hole, relayed a story that especially impressed the Membership Committee. Recently, a guest forgot his briefcase at the hotel on his way to an early flight. When Tyler discovered the briefcase, he immediately picked up the phone and called the number on the reservation. The guest had already landed in Denver, but Tyler didn’t stop there! He quickly made arrangements with a sister property at the guest’s final destination in St. Louis. The briefcase (with the guest’s car keys) was delivered safe and sound to the Hilton St. Louis Airport!  Joe concluded, “Tyler has been with us since May and has been an amazing addition to our team. He is always professional, courteous and attentive to all our guest needs.”

Tyler will receive a prize package of gifts from supporters of exceptional customer service in Jackson Hole – The Blue Lion, Harmonic Spa, Judge Roy Bean’s Old Time Photos, the Homewood Suites by Hilton or Lexington Inn & Suites, Jackson Bootlegger, and MADE. The Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce thanks our sponsors.
