"The Guestline platform has allowed us to substantially reduce operational costs, save time and simultaneously improve our customer experience through enhanced guest profiling, elimination of double bookings and greatly improved guest communications.
One of the biggest advantages has been, unlike traditional PMS, the Guestline web-based system is one complete solution that can automate everything from rate management, rate parity, two-way distribution management and customer communications."
