Testimonials

"Team HVS's knowledge of the hospitality industry in Canada is incredible. This is reflected in the quality of the analyses and the reports. Financial institutions recognize this, and they readily rely on and accept the reports." – Bhulesh Lodhia, J M Hospitality

"I expected expertise and in-depth analysis presented in the feasibility study by HVS based on our research on HVS’s reputation in the industry. What I didn’t expect was Monique and Charlie’s commitment to our project over and beyond the scope of work. Time and again they have demonstrated through their action their genuine concern for my best interest. They even suggested professionals I should contact to push the project along. All this without any added personal benefit. For this reason I will not only exclusively use HVS for all my future projects but will gladly and strongly recommend HVS specifically Monique Rosszell to all my colleagues." – Alkarim, DMJ Group of Companies
