Sierra Suites hit the "boss lottery" with local resident's promotion to the general manager position.
Long-time employee, Glen Cobb, was promoted to the GM position earlier this Fall at the Sierra Suites Hotel located just outside of Fort Huachuca.
Cobb has lived in the Sierra Vista community for over 30 years with her husband, Woddy, and their four grown children. She has worked at Sierra Suites as a guest services representative, part-time night auditor and weekend Manager on Duty for seven years while working full-time with the Cochise County Superior Court for many years. Woody and Glen are members of the Arizona Bounty Hunters, an Arizona historical re-enactment group who perform in Tombstone and around the state.
Glen's promotion to the management position has been widely supported throughout Sierra Suites' employees.
Jackie Jameson, a guest services represtentative at the hotel, said, "I think I can safely say here that I speak on behalf of all of the staff here at Sierra Suites in saying that Glen leads by example, and I and the others consider outselves lucky to work for her and with her to support her in any way we can. We all feel like we just won 'the boss lottery'!"
Not only are the employees supportive of the newly appointed general manager, the staff at Granite Hospitality are thrilled as well.
Granite Hospitality is a Scottsdale, Arizona based hotel management and investment company with five hotels in three states in its portfolio. Sierra Suites was purchased in 1998 by Sierra Suites Investment Group LLC and managed by Shawn Doyle, formerly with the Hotel Group and now owner and President of Granite Hospitality.
"We are excited that Glen has stepped into the position of General Manager after the long tenure of the former GM, Gaylene Wendle," said Shawn Doyle. "Promoting her from within is a winning formula as her experiences and history at the hotel along with her enthusiasm for taking on this new role will greatly impact our guests' stay and Glen's connection to the community is a plus."
Glen replaced Gaylene Wendle who managed Sierra Suites for 23 years before relocating back to her hometown in Wisconsin.
This southwestern hotel is offering a welcome package to celebrate Glen's new position as general manager. The GM's Welcome Package at Sierra Suites offers a $25 gift card for La Casita Restaurant when a reservation is made before the New Year. In addition, Sierra Suties is proud to serve those who serve our country. As such, based on their close relationship with Ft. Huachuca, they are offering an affordable package for friends and family members visiting service members at the base. This Fort Huachuca Friends and Family Package includes a $25 gas card, $40 La Casita Gift Card and $10 credit for in-room movies.
Sierra Suites has been open since 1985. Renovations of the guest rooms were completed in 2003, and the lobby, breakfast room, fitness room and meeting rooms were renovated this year.
The hotel's newly renovated property will be undergoing much more than physical improvements. Sierra Suites will be continuing improvements in customer service (currently rated #1 on popular hotel review site Trip Advisor), operations, and community participation.
"I am very privileged to have been given this opportunity," said Glen Cobb. "We have a great team at Sierra Suites and I look forward to continuing in the successful track that has been forged for me by Gaylene. After many years in the Cochise County Superior Court, it is a refreshing change to have clients who want to stay with us! Our number one goal is simple: to do all we can to make Sierra Suites your home away from home."
