"Hotel Managers Group operated our property, the Posada Royale Hotel & Suites located in Simi Valley, CA from 1995 until it was sold in May 2005. The hotel had low occupancy due to the Northridge earthquake when HMG took over the hotel. They were able to reposition it to become the market leader in the area. My partner and I were pleased with their management services. Hotel Managers Group is a full-service management company that is involved with every development of the hotel including accounting, front office, housekeeping, sales and marketing, maintenance, personnel and food and beverage. I would highly recommend their services as a hotel management company"
