My organization, my colleagues and I, are paid to run hotels in good times and fair times. We're professionals. That's what we do. I don't give a damn about the short-term market implications.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I know people like myself where we've got resorts, or we're in the hospitality business, and we just can't make money because you're paying someone minimum $42 per hour or something on a Sunday.
If you're a person who says yes most of the time, you'll find yourself in the hotel business and the restaurant business.
All good hotels tend to lead people to do things they wouldn't necessarily do at home.
I always worked in institutions, I never had a restaurant of my own before, but I have opened over 30 hotels, restaurants and casinos. I understand what it takes to keep them running.
I've been working in boutique hotels my whole life.
I grew up in the motel business, and it evolved into hotels.
The great advantage of a hotel is that it is a refuge from home life.
I wanted to start a hotel company from scratch.
Due to my work, I tend to stay in hotels a lot of the time, and I generally prefer smaller hotels, as you tend to get better service than in the larger hotels.
I don't know anything about the hotel business.
