Saun is a resident of Snellville and a former graduate of Hotel Equities' Management Development Program (MDP). She joined HE as the sales coordinator for a new-build Hilton- hotel in Atlanta and was promoted to front office manager upon graduating from MDP, Hotel Equities' industry leading training program for rising talent. Saun's contributions yielded the award-winning hotel consistent top rankings on TripAdvisor, with the Hilton brand and with shareholder returns.

The owners are excited to open the doors of the new hotel, but they are also anxious to make an even larger contribution through civic opportunities. "This is a long-term investment [and just one of several local developments from the duo]," said Richard Swope, co-owner. "Our goal is to build relationships with the local hospitals, police departments, fire stations and other businesses. We want the hotel to be the living room of the community here in Snellville."
