Our Maestro Property Management Suite effortlessly provides the 360-degree guest view that we need to be able to provide exceptional personal service, said Wolman. About 50 percent of our reservations originate on the Internet and we are upgrading our current booking engine to Maestro'ss integrated ResEze Web booking technology to address the emerging guest demands for convenient self-service over the internet.
