Besides owning the new property, Herbert Chandler is its general manager. Overseeing your property this way requires more work and time, but I feel that is absolutely necessary for everything to function as one unit so that you can have flexibilty of being able to replace a department manager if a change is necessary or of being able to correct problems in any area as they develop. I wouldn't under any circumstances, lease out any part of the operation. If you do, you lose control. And if you don't have good food service, for example, it affects the rental of rooms and the image of the property.
Interiors are of Spanish design in keeping with the Spanish influence in the area's history.
Interior decor including both public areas and guest rooms, was handled by Gary Cohen, Equipment Planners, Moline, Ill., who also handled the purchasing of furnishings and equipment. The property's Royal Scott Dining Room, operated by Bruce Bishop who has 35 years of experience in food preparation, displays Scottish decor and features seafood and steaks. A piano bar is provided for guest entertainment in the Highlands Lounge. The King's English banquet room accommodates up to 130 for banquets and meetings, and can be partitioned off for smaller groups. To launch this newest motel, the younger Chandler fittingly asked his father to take part in the ribbon-cutting ceremonies during the grand opening, which was well attended by local digintaries and citizens.
