Tharaldson is the largest hotel franchise company in the United States. I have worked for three of their properties for almost five years. I am no longer with Tharaldson, but they do have great training programs in place for managers to succeed. One of my fondest memories was spending time in Peoria at the training center with other managers and the training team. Lots of good memories were made, and lots of fun was had. Tharaldson is a good starting point for folks who want to get into the hotel business.
