Great Lakes Management assumed management of this nearly new, 60 room, property in the third quarter of 2003. Since then we have helped to maximize total revenue and reduce expenses by meticulously refining the process of how the hotel was run. By establishing better relationships with suppliers and vendors as well as local corporations, Great Lakes Management was able to provide a more firm backbone to the hotel's expenses as well as its overall revenues.

Since aquiring the management contract Great Lakes Management has been intregal in the exponential growth of this property.
