As President & CEO of the Texas Hotel and Motel Association, I have known Stephen Barth as a revered professor of hospitality law at the University of Houston's Conrad N. Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management, as a tremendously popular seminar leader, and now, I am pleased to say, as an outstanding author.

His book, Hospitality Law, provides an up-to-date information source that can teach practicing hospitality managers and students how to avoid and minimize legal difficulties they might otherwise face in the running of lodging properties. The book is well written, easy to follow, and best of all, gives examples from the actual operations of lodging and restaurant establishments. Especially strong are the sections on contract law, safety and security, and employment issues.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand the legal issues that arise in the everyday decisions that a lodging property professional must make.

The authors made the legal issues easy to understand. I was out there looking for a such book for a long long time, and this is the book. This book helpes me to be prepared for some potential legal matters that I may have to face in a complicated casino hotel environment. I had a great opportunity to meet with the author Stephen Barth at the New York Hotel Show one year. He was a keynote speaker.

Great industry resource for lodging and hospitality managers. This book is far more practical than others Ive used or reviewed. Mr. Barth makes the book usuable for students, yet extremely practical for those already in working in the field. We now promote and encourage the use of this book with all those we work with.

This is a book that you might want to read just for the interesting case studies and information. It is well-written and clear with lots of examples. I had to get it for a class, but I'm enjoying it.

Bought this book for college course. Does well at explaining law terms in an understandable way for students.

i ordered this book on may 20th for a june 8th class and was not notifted untill june 6th that the order could not be filled while i received credit back on my credit card, this still cost me about 35 dollars because all the used books at the bookstore were gone by the time i bought the book on june 8th while this was a third party seller, i will not accept the excuse that amazon is not responsible because the charge on my credit card said "amz amazon payments-amzn.com" there are many choices for used textbooks one has been eliminated
