Janice Brady
Sr. Director of Brand Protection, Quality & Reg. Compliance
Working with Richelle has been great. She listened to our needs, created a custom package to achieve our desired results and then continued to improve the system to help us take it to the next level. She worked well with our internal hotel team and our corporate team to ensure all parties interests were met, consistently checked in to make sure we were doing well and to see if there was anything else she too could do to enhance our experience. At times, when we were overwhelmed with day-to-day business, she helped get some of the setup tasks completed on our behalf. They are an excellent example of what a Partner is, and not just a vendor representative.
