The Allison Inn in Oregon's Willamette Valley wine country relies on NORTHWIND for its reliable Maestro PMS, website integration, and marketing support. "We are a true independent, and that means we have to rely on all our providers for support. NORTHWIND goes above and beyond to keep our operation running smoothly – we consider them a partner in our success," said Steve Hurst, assistant general manager of the Allison Inn. "Maestro PMS is a total solution and its team provides online support and expert marketing services that contributed to more than $98,000 in direct booking web revenue through the ResWave booking engine in 1Q'11."

Pinnacle Hotels in Vancouver, B.C. also uses Maestro Multi-Property PMS and ResWave web booking engine for two properties to create efficiency and cost savings while growing online revenue from direct reservation bookings. Additionally, Sparkling Hill is another world-class luxury spa resort in British Columbia that uses Maestro to support its signature high-touch personal guest services.

Nita Lake Lodge turns to Maestro Web Connection Services for online success
"We installed Maestro PMS with ResWave last year and our online bookings have really increased," said Cedric Nacy, IT director for Nita Lake Lodge in Whistler, BC, Canada. "The Maestro team is always available when we want to customize our ResWave direct website booking process. NORTHWIND's Diamond Plus Service is ideal for independent operators because its team understands hotel operations and provides fast, personal service that keeps our operation running smoothly. We also use Maestro Sales & Catering which is fully integrated into our system's database so billing and account tracking is effortless."

Multi-Property independents maximize revenue with Maestro 'Total-Productivity Solution'
NORTHWIND Maestro is also a perfect fit for independent multi-property operators. The Vancouver-based Sandman Hotel Group uses Maestro across 33 of its properties. The Banff Lodging Company, which operates a portfolio of resort properties in Alberta, Canada, also uses Maestro's Multi-Property Suite to operate all its hotels on one database

Banff Lodging Company owns and operates nine independent hotels, five restaurants, a spa, ski school, and rental shop. All of its hotels are automated by one Maestro Multi-Property System supporting the Company's Front Office, Sales and Catering, Spa and Activities Management, and Retail Point of Sale systems. "Banff Lodging uses the Maestro Multi-Property Suite as out 'total-productivity solution.' Maestro streamlines reservations, group sales, accounting, guest CRM, and other operating processes on one system. Its single-database platform enables stronger management controls and optimized rates, consolidated reporting, and faster training because staff has only one system to learn, so they are more productive when they move between our properties. Maestro also supports our central reservation office and optimizes rates and cross sells all our hotels with Multiproperty Yield Management."

Accent Inns operates six properties on Maestro
"Maestro's Multi-Property PMS is ideal for our six Accent Inn properties in British Columbia, Canada, because it will enable us to create centralized, professional email marketing to guests at all our properties," said Chris Brown, GM of Accent Inn Vancouver Airport. "I am project manager for the entire installation and I want to compliment NORTHWIND's Diamond Plus installation team for a very professional job. We will have all six hotels live on Maestro by year's end. Our partnership with NORTHWIND has been very successful."
