Guestfolio partnership with Frontdesk Anywhere off to a successful start
Guestfolio, the award winning hotel marketing platform, is delighted to announce that their first two clients with, San Francisco based, hotel management software Frontdesk Anywhere have launched a new digital guest experience with Guestfolio. It's an exciting time for both properties as they kick-off 2016 with the integrated cloud-based platforms that enable them to seamlessly run their properties and enhance their marketing efforts.
Encore Express Hotel & Hostel offers affordable hotel and hostel room options for musicians, artists and travellers in San Francisco, and started using Guestfolio early this year. Stefan Aronson, Art Director and Head of Marketing at Encore Express Hotel said "I researched a lot of email clients before picking Guestfolio. Most of the products I tried didn't offer any of the features Guestfolio does. The ones that did were a lot more expensive, which wasn't applicable for our small hotel."
The Summit Resort Hotel is a family run hotel, open since 1973, offering spacious, clean, comfortable rooms in a beautiful setting and the best view on the island of St. Maarten in the Caribbean. They started using Guestfolio early this year. Bruce Jakubovitz, Owner of The Summit Resort Hotel said "It was great working with (Guestfolio) on setting up my account. (Guestfolio) were a pleasure to work with and I am excited to see how things go."
The integration between Frontdesk Anywhere PMS and Guestfolio enables both The Summit Resort Hotel and Encore Express Hotel to gain access to the tools and technology needed to compete with their larger counterparts. These quality, yet affordable, cloud-based platforms have participated in breaking the financial wall surrounding hotel chains, and now gives every hotelier the opportunity to facilitate and optimize its management as well as focusing their efforts on putting the needs of the guests first.
"Providing the best possible guest experience while building lasting relationships with your guests is vital to a hotel's success, and we see this partnership allowing hoteliers to do just that" said Joe Kiernan, Co-Founder and CTO, Frontdesk Anywhere.
Duane Hepditch, CEO of Guestfolio said "We're excited about the activation of these two new hotels and to watch the improvements they'll see over time with their time management at the property using Frontdesk Anywhere and their guest engagement and retention capabilities using Guestfolio".
