As most of you know I've been a little busy the past couple months with my new job. Our company just opened a new Marriott SpringHill Suites in Provo and I get the fun job of being the General Manager. At least I'm hoping it will be fun eventually.....it's been pretty busy and challenging so far. Don't get me wrong---it's so fun to have everything nice and new and beautiful but working out all the kinks of having a new building is crazy. No major issues just dumb little things like the fact that if you hit the "room service" button on the telephone it dialed 911---minor issues I tell you. If you haven't seen the hotel yet feel free to drop by for a tour----it's awesome!!! It's very different and "fresh". People love it!---except older people which reminds me of a good story. So I was in a "closing construction" meeting the other day where I had to give a little presentation on how our guests have responded so far to the new hotel.... let me give you a little background on who was in the meeting---it was all the owners who are a little older (and one inparticular has a hard time that I'm a woman), the builders of the hotel and the owners of our management company. So I hand out my nice little report with the feedback and forgot that as I was typing the report I put as the very last line "the only guests who have not responded positively to the hotel are simply old foogies with old school taste!" Of course I'm laughing to myself as I type the last sentance. I then got distracted and forgot to take it off the report!!!!! Pretty embarassing as one of the owners reads the report out loud in the meeting!!!!! Yes, I'm glad I still have a job. I feel super lucky to have the best staff ever----I like to refer to them as the "dream team"!! I thought I'd share a couple pictures of the finished product. Of course I couldn't end this post without a few pictures of the cutest little man in my life. We have beads that hang in our lobby area and Cashy LOVES to grab them, pull on them, wind up in them----and he gives me a devilish little grin the whole time knowing he is doing something wrong!

The hotel looks Great. I love the style. Also love what you aid in your report about the old foggies!!
I don't know how you manage a hotel that size. I only have 16 rooms and sometimes I just want to slap the people that come in and the stupid comments they make. You are amazing! The hotel looks awesome.
I saw something like your lobby on Design Star and loved it. It is so comtemporary and fresh. I think I might qualify as an old fogey, but I don't care. I am contemporary and fresh. :)
The hotel looks amazing. Reese and I will have to stop by for a tour. I'm glad you survived.
The hotel looks wonderful!!! I need to go to seven peaks with you guys sometime. Peyton has never been and would love it!
We loved the hotel--and that is from what I guess qualifies as an "old fogie!!" By the way, how is the filmy fabric holding up?
I love the pics of Cash in the beads. Prety soon he will be hiding behind things like that to poop. -Maile
Nalani - I found your blog through Lauren's. I just wanted to thank you for lending your home (and your crib)...it is beautiful! Also, the hotel looks awesome! And lastly, the main reason I am posting...I need that potato salad recipe. If you get a second you can email me at suzyb at alexanders dot com.
I really like the new look. Kind of fun. Congrats on your promotion!!! You are awesome!
