Professional Testimonials

Marcedes Schindler is a truly outstanding hotel professional and an absolute pleasure to work with.

I had the opportunity to work with Marcedes at Gibson Hotels from October 2024 through October 2025, where she oversaw a large and diverse portfolio of select-service assets. In that role, she consistently stood out for her operational discipline, commercial instincts, and ability to connect with property teams in a way that drove real results.

Marcedes has that rare combination of being both highly strategic and deeply hands-on. She understands what matters to ownership, keeps her focus on what moves the needle, and has the tenacity to push through challenges without losing the trust and respect of the people around her. Her work translated into strong performance, improved execution, and meaningful returns for ownership groups.

Beyond the numbers, Marcedes is hardworking, thoughtful, collaborative, and incredibly dependable. She brings energy, accountability, and a genuine passion for hospitality to everything she does. Any ownership group, management company, or hospitality organization would be lucky to have her on the team.

I would gladly work with Marcedes again and recommend her without hesitation.
