Cloudbeds
Cloudbeds has raised $253 million and SoftBank is involved. I wanted to know what that buys an 80-room city hotel that could use the money elsewhere.
-
Guestline
Guestline has been the default PMS for British independents for years. Then the Access Group bought it. I wanted to know whether the product survived the acquisition.
