Case Study

The Dean Hotel

Executive Summary

After dealing with a cloud-based system which was unstable, with frequent interruptions and corruptions, The Dean Hotel implemented RoomKeyPMS as their property management system four years ago. Along with SiteMinder interface for channel management, RoomKeyPMS has resolved the hotel’s system stability issues and allowed for them to push their room inventory to the largest audience possible.

“Within RoomKeyPMS, the reporting tool is an extremely important source of data for analysis. With the SiteMinder interface, the ability to add on a Global Distribution Component is great for purposes of pushing our inventory out to the largest audience possible.”

– Aarin Clemons, The Dean Hotel

Challenges

Located in Providence’s Downcity historic district, The Dean Hotel is a 52-room Boutique and Limited Service hotel in Rhode Island. They had a property management tool in place which was very unstable and problematic, with frequent system interruptions and data corruption issues.

The Dean Hotel needed a better, more stable way of managing guest data and reservations, running accurate reports, and interfacing to third parties and online travel agencies (OTAs) or global distribution systems (GDSs).

How RoomKeyPMS and SiteMinder Helped

Built to meet all of the needs of hoteliers, RoomKeyPMS is a secure, reliable and stable system, and is PCI compliant. Once implemented, The Dean Hotel could begin confidently processing and storing sensitive data in the cloud, knowing that RoomKeyPMS’ products and services have been tested against the latest and most mature set of PCI compliance requirements.

In addition, RoomKeyPMS’ 99.5% uptime guarantee* and 92% support team satisfaction rating resolved The Dean Hotel’s prior issues with system stability and reliability.

With the implementation of the SiteMinder interface, The Dean Hotel was able to recognize the following additional benefits:

  • Channel management connection to over 500 OTAs and GDSs
  • Automatic coding of OTA and GDS reservations into RoomKeyPMS
  • The ability to avoid overbookings using the “stop sell tool”, which is an important option to have, particularly when dealing with ad-hoc building maintenance or during peak season
  • The ability to push their inventory out to the largest audience possible through OTAs and GDSs
