✦ A note from the founder ✦
Built by one of us.
“I've walked in your shoes. Since 2001 I've worked nearly every corner of a hotel — housekeeping, front desk, reservations, supervision, and I held front office manager and general manager roles — plus restaurant kitchens. I know the sore feet, the double shifts, the guests who never say thank you. I built this place because people like us deserve to be seen, heard and valued. You matter to me — every single one of you. I've been where you are, and you're not alone. Pull up a chair. You're among friends.”
