 “We trusted MSI—respected hospitality partner of Best Western—for our hotel cloud technology needs,” said Joshua Mott, Revenue Manager with Denlea Company Hotels. “In the past, cut-over from old to new was difficult, but not with MSI. Their team and MSI CloudPM™ surpassed my expectations. From professional sales associates, to database construction, training, and deployment; all was unproblematic. Staff members in two of our properties were able to catch on very quickly to the familiar feeling and highly intuitive layout of the MSI CloudPM™ solution. Minimal effort produced a maximum outcome. I know we decided best with MSI.”
