Company owns majority of their hotels. Solid financially.

GM's are allowed to run their hotels. Reporting requirements are reasonable. Corporate staff is very supportive.

Keys for this company are people with excellent job stability. Many employees have been with company more than 7 years. Hotels are well run, profitable, and have been in the company many years. They need GM who can fine tune and tweak operations to increase margins a little more.
