Public Testimonials

“The students are extremely well prepared for their three-week internship. They come to the hotel with a solid understanding of the hotel industry. Their expectations are realistic, their enthusiasm unbridled. The management, staff, and I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every intern we have hosted.”
