Stowe, VT. February 6, 2002-- Springer-Miller Systems (SMS), a leading provider of hospitality management solutions, is proud to announce that two properties, NINE ZERO and Garden of the Gods, both managed by Destination Hotels & Resorts, have chosen the SMS|Host Hospitality Management Solution.

Brian Barr, Technical Services Manager for Destination Hotels & Resorts, said, “DH&R has a very diverse portfolio of properties that have equally diverse technology needs. Springer Miller has been able to provide us with a product that is capable of adapting to the unique system requirements at each of these locations. Springer's modular architecture has allowed us to pick and choose the options that we feel will be the most effective at helping us to manage these properties in a manner that will be efficient, productive and allow for an exceptional guest experience. I believe that our choice to implement the Springer Miller solution at these two destinations has given DH&R a superior technological edge that is not typical in an industry that tends to lag behind in the development of information systems.”
