Comtrol's Lodging Link® and INNfinity® Systems team-up to provide smooth operations for hotels

Challenge

Comtrol Corporation and INNfinity Systems provide guest service connectivity to hotels. Comtrol’s portion of the solution is the Lodging Link product, a turn-key system to quickly and easily integrate hundreds of guest service systems. Hotel systems include: PBX, voice mail, call accounting, in-room Internet access, point-of-sale, in-room movie, keyless entry, mini bar, and energy management systems. INNfinity provides a Windows based, easy-to-use, and comprehensive guest management system.

Technology Solution

INNfinity Systems, in partnership with Comtrol, provides quality service to Southern California’s Bartell Hotels. This partnership is essential to the day-to-day operations of their properties like the Pacific Terrace Hotel. This Bartell property is located on the white sand of San Diego’s Pacific Beach and each guest room and suite boasts a private balcony. When a guest checks-out, Comtrol’s Lodging Link® Premier system transfers the guest’s electronic check-out request to INNfinity to produce a bill. Within seconds INNfinity charges the guest’s credit card and automatically changes the room to dirty/available, letting housekeeping know the room is ready to be serviced. As a hotelier, you can be assured that your staff will always have up-to-the-moment information on the status of each room in the hotel. This synchronized system also saves guests from unnecessary housekeeping interruptions. Streamlining operations is our specialty. You have enough to worry about, let Comtrol and INNfinity smooth out the details.

Another Bartell Hotel Property, Humphrey’s Half Moon Inn and Suites in Shelter Island, California hosts a continuous calendar of events. Each Sunday, Humphrey’s hosts a popular jazz brunch in the restaurant. In addition to meals at the restaurant, the inn offers poolside food and beverages, room service, and wedding and spa packages. The concerts by the bay attract business from around the globe. For every memorable vacation, Comtrol must facilitate the seamless flow of communication between each point-of-sale machine and INNfinity to ensure that each guest is charged accurately for the goods and services they used. The words “charge it” have never been so easy. Whether your days are ordinary or extraordinary, Comtrol and INNfinity ensure the same level of excellence.
