LINCOLN, NE--(Marketwired - Apr 17, 2013) - A little bit of luck brought a lot of business to the Residence Inn Lincoln South in 2012, but to say that luck is the reason for its success couldn't be farther from the truth. After a year of striving to improve and continuing to offer guests the best service possible, this pet-friendly Lincoln, Nebraska hotel has been nominated by Marriott for Residence Inn of the Year.
In addition to the existing complimentary breakfast available at this hotel, guest feedback prompted the property to incorporate other services and features including a soda fountain, dog walking, a wider variety of evening food options and weekly arts and crafts.
Nominated by manager Dave Wheaton, the success of the Residence Inn Lincoln South is a team effort, which starts with Wheaton and the other managers. "[We] have instilled the Residence Inn culture and created a team of associates that have a real passion for the job. Individually, each [associate] has had unique contributions to our success," Wheaton said.
From remembering guests' names to going above and beyond to meet requests, the staff aims to "make a positive impact on everyone we encounter," Wheaton says. Extended-stay guests are celebrated on milestones with special events. The staff is trained, not only in service and sales, but silliness, he adds, bringing fun into everyday guest life.
The Residence Inn Lincoln South also goes to extra lengths to give back to the community, including working with the Lincoln Optimist Homer's Heroes Baseball league, Habitat for Humanity, Give Kids the World Village and others.
