SALISBURY, Md., December 13, 2011—Officials of Marshall Hotels & Resorts, Inc., a leading, Maryland-based hotel management and services company, today announced the company has added five contracts to its management portfolio: 142-room Radisson Hotel Cleveland-Gateway in Ohio; 80-room Holiday Inn Express Braselton, 139-room Hampton Inn Atlanta/Marietta, and 66-room Hampton Inn Cartersville, all in Ga.; and 113-room Hampton Inn & Suites currently under construction in Ocean City, Md.

“A majority of investors and owners held back from making changes at the property level during the summer months to better determine what effects the economy would have on business and leisure travel,” said Mike Marshall, president and CEO.  “Now it appears that owners and investors are tired of waiting for the economy to dictate what changes they make at their hotels.  Money has become more readily available for decision-makers to move forward with previously postponed changes.”
