New General Manager Named At Residence Inn Anaheim Placentia/Fullerton
Hotel in Placentia appoints Courtney Russell as its new leader with a strong background in hospitality and finance
PLACENTIA, Calif., April 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Residence Inn Anaheim Placentia/Fullerton is proud to announce Courtney Russell as its new general manager.
Russell transitioned from the finance to hospitality industry eight years ago when he joined the Marriott team as assistant general manager at SpringHill Suites Morgantown. His success quickly led him to the general manager position at the Holiday Inn Express in Teays Valley, WV. Under his leadership, the hotel increased revenue three years in a row while maintaining high guest satisfaction scores and a strong average daily rate. Following a brief move to the Holiday Inn in Charleston, WV, where he served as general manager, Russell rejoined the Marriott team as general manager of SpringHill Suites Prince Frederick.
During his time in Prince Frederick, the hotel focused on developing strategies to maximize profits, increasing year-over-year group revenue by 28 percent. Russell said he found his real pride, though, in positively influencing his employees. He dedicated himself to empowering the staff, improving overall morale and developing a winning team. Russell's employee focus proved to be a great benefit while overseeing the hotel's renovation, during which the hotel staff was able to maintain impressive guest satisfaction scores.
"I'm beyond excited to be moving to California to lead the Placentia hotel's talented team," said Russell. "My hospitality roots began with Marriott, and I'm thrilled to be able to utilize my financial background and communication skills at a new Marriott brand."
Russell's girlfriend and their 8-year old daughter share in the excitement of moving to California. When not at work, Russell enjoys spending time with his family, weightlifting, non-competitive boxing and cheering on his favorite NFL team, the Dallas Cowboys.
In addition to strong leadership, the hotel in Placentia, CA promises travelers the perfect balance of comfort and convenience. Spacious, modern suites await guests who have easy access to some of California's most popular attractions, including Anaheim Convention Center, Angel Stadium, Disneyland, Honda Center and the Richard Nixon Presidential Library & Museum.
