STATE COLLEGE, PA., June 2, 2011— Officials of Shaner Hotels, a developer/owner/operator that currently owns and manages more than 30 hotels, today announced that the company earned eight awards for excellence from Marriott International, Inc.:
The Spirit to Serve, Market Share Improvement and Guest Satisfaction at six individual properties.
The honors were presented at Marriott’s Courtyard, Fairfield Inn, Residence Inn, SpringHill Suites and TownePlace Suites Brands (CFRST) Conference, held recently in Indianapolis, Ind.
“These honors are especially gratifying in light of the difficult operating environment of past year,” said Lance Shaner, chairman and CEO of Shaner Hotels.
“The struggling economy allowed us to refocus on our core values of providing the utmost quality service to every guest that walks through our doors, which also positively affected the bottom line. This strategy is one we pride ourselves on and one that we will continue to perfect in the years to come.”
“Marriott offers many great opportunities and the flexibility to develop strong relationships with our guests and surrounding communities, thus reinforcing the reputation for quality service for which Marriott is well known,” Shaner added.
“We appreciate the recognition and look forward to continuing a leadership role in our respective markets in the future.”
