The Regent Hotel goes Windows® based with Guestline PMS
Guestline has recently installed its Windows® based Property Management System (PMS) at the Regent Hotel in Doncaster.
The 52 bedroom Regent Hotel is a charming Victorian building overlooking a secluded Regency park, within easy reach of Doncaster's vibrant town centre and easily accessible from the major roads and motorways.
Recognising the need to replace the hotel's ageing DOS-based system, Proprietor Mike Longworth appointed industry consultants Systems Metier to research the leading Windows® based options in the marketplace.
"Guestline's presentation was one of the main reasons for choosing Guestline from a final list of 3 possible suppliers. Every question was answered with an instant demonstration. All our staff were impressed with the ease of use and clear instructions. Two of my staff who have worked in larger hotels thought Guestline was far superior to much more expensive systems they had previously used", stated Mike.
After an extensive and detailed evaluation by Systems Metier and the Regent's team, Guestline was selected as the preferred PMS and a contract awarded to implement a 7-user network with interfaces to PABX and Sage Line 50, together with a fully integrated web bookings engine.
Mike concludes "Working with Guestline compared to our old system is like a walk in the park. It does everything and more. The training week was well organized, the back up and support is superb. Installing Guestline was a little like passing your driving test and then learning to drive. Already we are saving time, we are more efficient, and are much more professional and I am sure many more benefits will become apparent as we learn to use the system to its full potential".
