GHS was founded in 1994, in Valparaiso, Indiana, to assist first-time, select-service hotel owners with designing, building, and managing hotel properties. GHS has built over 90 select-service hotels of many different chain affiliations nationwide, winning numerous awards such as Newcomer of the Year and Developer of the Year. Today GHS manages select-service hotels, representing Hampton Inn by Hilton, Homewood Suites by Hilton, Home2 Suites by Hilton, Springhill Suites by Marriott, and TownePlace Suites by Marriott.
Our operations team is dedicated to approaching your hotel’s operations from an owner’s perspective. We focus on ensuring balance between guest satisfaction and profit margins, making sure that guests get what they need when they need it while being conscientious of the bottom line.
Our team of experts is focused on recruitment and retainment through various approaches and programs. There is a true understanding that turnover can be costly and detrimental to an organization, and we are laser focused on minimizing turnover in order to establish a consistent and solid team. By establishing this mindset throughout our organization, we are able to provide the guest with the service they deserve.
Whether it is handling payroll, accounts payable, or financial statements, our team of professionals are there to assist for a smooth process. Their involvement with the operations team in dissecting P&Ls through consistent and regular dialogue throughout the month allows for a proactive approach to performance rather than a reactive approach. This approach along with our Business Intelligence platform allows for in-depth analysis of the operational platform at the properties to maximize profitability.
With the everchanging environment within the brands and industry, we are sure to focus on staying current with brand standards and industry standards. Our approach is one that ensures the best balance of rate and occupancy allowing for taking the right business at the right time. You will not see a cookie cutter approach in this arena but a very detailed thoughtful strategy in the present and into the future through the appropriate analytic channels.
