This Employee Spotlight is on Rebecca Minnifield, General Manager(GM) for Economy Hotel Minot, who recently celebrated her one year anniversary with Stablegold Hospitality (SGH)!
Minnifield has been GM at the hotel since Day One of our acquisition and played a critical role in getting our very first out-of-state operation up and running.
"She was able to very quickly fill the hotel and achieve revenue numbers we didn't think were possible," said Area Manager Lisa Hollomon, whose sentiments are promptly backed up by our CEO Ali Jamal; "Rebecca's leadership on the ground has helped Economy Hotel Minot flourish, with over 85% occupancy and a steadily rising ADR."
Years of work experience in the hospitality industry, experience growing up in Minot since grade school, and genuine care for the local community also make her a perfect fit for the role.
"Opening Economy Hotel Minot has really impacted the community," said Minnifield. "It brought a new sense of relief. People feel like there's a home for everyone now."
She also observes a new sense of community at the hotel. "Everyone is always getting to know each other and willing to help each other out with things like carpooling," said Minnifield. "With only 50,000 people, Minot has a super involved community, everyone is there for each other."
In her spare time, our EH superstar loves to sow and spend time with her extended family.
"From the check-in to check out I found everything to be smooth. The staff showed a great willingness to help and made the best recommendations for nearby attractions and eateries. Great team here. Special thanks to the Manger Kory for making us feel welcomed and that our business was appreciated."
"I love love love the staff. The woman that runs it (Michelle) is an absolute doll. Housekeepers are friendly and very accommodating. Security is friendly. Its my second go at this hotel and if ever needed again its the first place im calling."
"What did you enjoy most about our service"? I enjoy the customer service the staff at economy hotel provides. I also enjoy the sanitary of the rooms and the great deals they offer customers who stay weekly or longer. Saved me and my family alot of stress."
