David Macdonald“Campbell Saunders was appointed as a Court appointed Receiver over the Super 8 hotel in Abbotsford, BC.  The property required a solid hospitality management team on short notice.  We choose Inntimate Inns to manage the property with a goal of improving operations during an active sale and marketing process. Gordon and his team exceeded all our expectations, including their services after the sale transitioning the property to new owners. Furthermore, we feel their improvements to operations and the bottom line significantly increased the final sale price of the property.  If you are working with a distressed or underperforming property, we recommend Inntimate Inns as a management company who can turn things around”.
