About Us

Fred and Dianne founded motelsos.com after commencing as relief motel managers in 2018. While they had extensive experience in property management and transferable skills in administration, bookkeeping, customer service, and maintenance, they quickly realised that managing a motel required far more specialised expertise.

The onsite learning curve was steep, and at times, it did little to increase our confidence in our motel management abilities. Recognising a gap in the small to mid-sized motel industry-specific training, they set out to ensure that others entering the industry were better prepared.

motelsos.com was created to provide practical, relevant training that equips new and aspiring motel managers with the confidence, skills, and knowledge to succeed from day one.

In addition, drawing on Dianne’s extensive experience as a Human Resources Consultant, motelsos.com also bridges the gap between training and recruitment – placing skilled professionals in roles where they can truly excel.

Looking ahead, motelsos.com is committed to building a thriving network of motel professionals – owners, operators, relief and permanent managers, and contractors – who bring expertise, passion, and excellence to the industry.
