Meriton Serviced Apartments is an Australian-based firm offering alternative hospitality services in luxurious apartments, in hotels located near the beach and providing customers with a wide array of recreational opportunities.

Some specific recommendations in this sense include:

(1) The analysis of the current shortages in room quality (Hsu and Powers, 2001)

(2) The discussion of these shortages with the cleaning company

(3) The creation of new quality standards desired by Meriton Serviced Apartments and which would be implemented by the cleaning company (Mawson, 2000)

(4) The development of new collaboration contracts with the cleaning company and…
