Marshall Hotels & Resorts, Inc. Adds Four Properties to Management Portfolio



SALISBURY, Md., July 21, 2011—Officials of Marshall Hotels & Resorts, Inc., a leading, Maryland-based hotel management and services company, today announced the addition of four properties to its management portfolio.

The properties include  the  90-room Pocono Inne Town Magnuson Hotel, in Stroudsburg, Pa.; 131-room Sea Esta Motels, spanning Dewey Beach, Del., and Long Neck, Del.; 88-room Four Points by Sheraton Long Island City/Queensboro Bridge in Long Island City, N.Y.; and the 60-room Econo Lodge University Arena, in Charlottesville, Va.

“Although the rebound continues to gain traction,  hotels still face numerous challenges, creating significant opportunities for management companies like Marshall that have a strong track record in turn-arounds,” said Mike Marshall (middle right photo), president and CEO.

 “Many markets across the country still lag behind last year’s forecasts, and we have adapted our revenue management approach appropriately.  Marketing efforts are the key to driving same store sales and penetration.  People are getting restless and moving on from the notion that the government will fix everything.  However, the hotel industry is not quite as agile.”
