Discover Lodging

On September 13th Discover Lodging provided a work retreat for all the General Managers, Assistant General Managers, and corporate office personnel. The retreat, which was a mystery bus tour, took place on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The tour provided all employees with a chance to get away from work for a few days and experience some different places and activities that they would normally not do in northern and central Minnesota. Some of the activities included ax throwing, touring a baseball bat facility, a pontoon ride, touring a factory that makes snacks, a character-building activity, touring a creamery, and listening to two different comedians. The retreat was welcomed by all as it allowed staff members to meet and interact with each other in a relaxing and enjoyable setting.

Since partnering with Discover Lodging in 2002 to manage the AmericInn of Valley City, ND, Marie and her team have guided my group through adding additional rooms, a bar & grill, and the development of a new hotel. As a local owner who lives and works in the community of our two hotels and restaurant, I appreciate their commitment to the employees and their dedicated support of our city, college, high school, and local businesses.


- Tim L., Owner, AmericInn by Wyndham Valley City; GrandStay Valley City; Bridges Bar & Grill Valley City

I'm impressed by the "hands-on" approach Discover Lodging takes with my property especially since it's a plane ride away. The team works closely with our general manager to ensure success. With their aggressive revenue management, we've seen a $10 RevPAR growth in the last two years and couldn't be more delighted.


- Kathy D., Owner, AmericInn by Wyndham Hailey, ID

I could not be more pleased with the high level of service and commitment Discover Lodging Management brings to each property. Their years of experience, innovation, and attention to detail directly result in successful operations. The dedication of a special person for maximizing rate yield, emphasis on budgeting and follow-through, and high priority for guest satisfaction results in a great return on investment. I also appreciate that I am well-informed in all aspects of the business.

You just can't find nicer people to work with. They provide any needed support to help in the growth of our hotel and especially our staff.
