Quotes

“We knew the phone and Wi-Fi systems were critically important, but we were moving so quickly that other issues took precedence over the phones and wireless. That turned out to be the one thing we never had to worry about because our contractor 10D quietly came onboard with Avaya and made magic happen. When we opened, we didn’t have any issues.”

—Nia Ridley, General Manager, Boulder Falls Inn

“The Avaya phones enable a great guest experience. It’s critical that our guests are able to contact guest services, housekeeping, or the 1847 Bar and Grill to get room service. We’ve never had anyone tell us they couldn’t get through. Basically, the phones just work.  And they need to work, because that's part of customer service.”

—Chris Breshears, Rooms Division manager for Boulder Falls Inn
