Not Worth the high price! 7 Jan 2004
By bringslite - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
One of the worst books I have ever read period! It's full of useless information, and it's not tailored to every property as it should.

Additionally, The book is filled with obsolete sample forms that no one uses (at least myself and those I know within the industry), making the VERY HIGH price inappropriate

In short, this book "could" be used as a theoritical introduction to the Front Office Management at some junior college's hospitality course, but not as a practical guide for hospitality professionals.

Hotel Front Office Management (Bardi) 24 Sep 2010
By Steve Laufman - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a great book for a novice in the business or a upperclassmen in the major. I like its real-life situational examples. It would be great if the author offered real-life scenarios that managers face every day for the class to discuss; that would be the icing on the cake. Other than that, it's well worth the purchase.

This reference has everything!! 10 Oct 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
They don't always teach you everything you need to know in hotel/motel management courses. This book includes all those unexpected situations that you might be faced with in the industry. It is informative and written in a way that is easy to read. A true friend in time of need.
