Focusing on the hotel industry, this study builds a functional definition of customer satisfaction and a practical approach to facilitate its measurement. Field research conducted in the United States and Japan support these new approaches. Contributions from the literature provide a theoretical basis for the development of a customer satisfaction model. The variables of this model were converted into a survey instrument (customer comment card) and tested at a large urban hotel.
