"This is a handy book that deserves a spot on any hotel manager's bookshelf. It is loaded with practical and clever recommendations that, if implemented, will result, simply and clearly, in better run hotels. Experienced and new managers alike will find the book's well-organized and clearly explained recommendations provide a must-do list of strategies, tactics, and training tools that will prove tremendously valuable as they seek to improve their property's operations and profitability. I highly recommend the handbook and commend the authors on producing a management book that is so highly readable and action-oriented."-Stephen W.
