SALISBURY, MD, August 10, 2009 – Officials of Marshall Hotels & Resorts, Inc., a leading, Maryland-based hotel management and services company, today announced that the company has been retained to manage The Inn at Pocono Manor (top left photo) in Pennsylvania (http://www.poconomanor.com/).

The 3,000-acre mountain resort is consistently ranked one of the top three destination properties among resorts in the Pocono Resort Region.

Known as “The Grand Lady of the Mountains,” The Inn at Pocono Manor is a four-season resort listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.

“We plan to continue the mountain resort’s 107-year-old tradition of welcoming guests with the highest quality accommodations, personalized services, facilities and amenities,” said Michael Marshall,(bottom right photo) president and CEO of Marshall Hotels & Resorts, Inc.

“We will build on that tradition with such modern conveniences as complimentary wireless Internet access, in a way that does not take anything away from the hotel’s period-designed rooms and public spaces.

“Marshall has extensive expertise in the successful operation of independent resorts,” Mike Marshall noted.

“We will implement our proprietary operating and marketing programs and take advantage of our economies of scale.

"In addition, we will focus on raising the bar on service levels to offer our guests a more leisurely experience. Our goal is to not only increase occupancy and guest loyalty, but to promote the region, as well. We plan to be very active in the community.”
