How Brentwood Inn & Suites Transformed Multi-Property Management with Yanolja Cloud Solution

OPERATIONS

Nestled in the heart of Glen Allen, Virginia, Brentwood Inn & Suites enjoys a prime spot just minutes from downtown Richmond and the region’s top attractions. Its convenient location offers the perfect blend of small-town charm and easy access to vibrant cultural, dining, and business hubs. With a welcoming atmosphere and scenic surroundings, it’s an ideal base for travelers looking to explore Central Virginia. The exterior-corridor property features 45 clean, comfortable rooms—some with spa baths—equipped with premium amenities. As part of a growing chain of properties, Brentwood Inn & Suites faced challenges in managing multiple hotels without a unified system and struggled to track performance and support new properties. With nearly 30% of bookings coming through OTAs and frequent reservation errors at the front desk (averaging to 15%), the team needed a solution that could reduce inefficiencies, increase direct bookings, cut costs, and improve control across locations. By adopting Yanolja Cloud Solution, they gained real-time oversight, streamlined operations, and ensured every property receives consistent, 24/7 support.

Why it matters: Brentwood Inn & Suites needed a way to manage multiple franchise properties under one system while ensuring every hotel received consistent technical support. Before Yanolja Cloud Solution, nearly 30% of bookings came from OTAs, reservation errors averaged around 15%, and front-desk staff spent up to 10 extra minutes per check-in. The group was facing rising costs, inefficiencies, and limited visibility across properties. Yanolja Cloud Solution provided a centralized platform to track performance in real time, onboard new properties efficiently, and give every location 24/7 assistance—removing operational blind spots and improving guest satisfaction.

Yanolja Cloud Solution gave Brentwood Inn & Suites a single platform to manage performance, reservations, and guest feedback across all franchise properties. With integrated payment processing and ID scanning, check-in/check-out time was reduced by 65%, while managers saved more than 20 hours per month by consolidating reporting into one dashboard. The system lets staff switch between hotels instantly, track metrics in real time, and onboard new locations without disruption, while 24/7 support ensures every property operates smoothly.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Unify property management, distribution, and booking processes across the franchise to improve operational efficiency, maximize online visibility, and deliver a consistent guest experience.

Centralized Property Management: Manage reservations, front desk tasks, housekeeping, and performance tracking for every property from one PMS, ensuring accuracy and real-time oversight.
Optimised Distribution: Keep rates and availability synchronized across all OTAs and sales channels with the channel manager, reducing overbookings and maximizing visibility.
Direct Booking Growth: Use the booking engine to convert website visitors into guests, increasing commission-free reservations, reducing OTA dependency and strengthening the brand’s direct sales channel.
