Enquires into the various attributes which contribute to a satisfactory customer experience, and how these elements have a hierarchical structure in a customer's mind. Situates the study within the cognitive psychology literature. Reports on data gathered from a sample of 85 hotel customers in Northern Italy. Creates a hierarchical value map of satisfactory hotel experiences, which links emotions, such as happiness and feeling at ease, directly with service and infrastructural attributes. Concludes a link between attributes and outcomes.
