Stay Cal Hospitality offers personalized
service and proven expertise helping hotel owners and
management companies successfully rebrand or develop new
properties. Many of the properties owned by Stay Cal are in
the heart of Silicon Valley where guests are technically savvy
and have high expectations from the properties where they
stay.
Stay Cal is currently expanding and elevating
its signature brand of lifestyle hotels. The hospitality
company also partners with brands such as Marriott and IHG to
develop select service properties that are known for their
service, style, comfort and value.
The Silicon Valley location of The Row means
that staff is expensive, hard to find and
difficult to retain. Industry changes have resulted in wages
for staff doubling in the most recent 3 year period.
High attrition means that any technology must be secure and
the scarcity of labor requires that technology help them be
more productive.
Guests have high expectations that the
technologies they use at home need to be present in hotels and
must work seamlessly to provide a
friction free experience.
