After a remarkable hospitality career spanning mor After a remarkable hospitality career spanning more than 40 years, we are both bittersweet and incredibly proud to announce the retirement of Chuck Chandler.

Chuck first joined the Plamondon Hospitality Partners family in June 2021 as a contracted manager supporting our Altoona dual-hotel Fairfield and TownePlace Suites by Marriott. Recognizing his immense value, we were thrilled to welcome him to the team full-time in December 2021 as the General Manager of the Residence Inn Fulton at Maple Lawn.

During his tenure with us, Chuck’s impact has been profound. An exceptional leader, he led the Residence Inn Fulton to become a four-time Marriott Diamond and Platinum Circle Award-winning property from 2022 to 2025. Chuck’s success has always been defined by a balance of strong financial acumen and a people-first approach. He consistent commitment to exemplary customer service and a culture of rewarding his team drove outstanding guest satisfaction and loyalty.

Beyond the numbers, Chuck is a true champion of people. He has always been highly adept at recruiting, training, and motivating staff to ensure optimal productivity and accountability. His dedication to his profession extends far beyond our doors. For years, Chuck has served on the boards of both the Maryland Hotel and Lodging Association and Howard County Tourism, including terms as Chairman for both executive committees. Through these leadership roles, he has contributed to the broader industry and helped shape the next generation of hospitality professionals.

His legacy of excellence was built on a foundation of experience. Prior to joining Plamondon, Chuck spent over two decades in leadership roles across brands including Embassy Suites, Hampton Inn, and other Hilton properties.

His years of experience, mentorship, and leadership have been an invaluable part of our organization. Please join us in thanking Chuck for his decades of dedication to the hospitality industry and wishing him all the best in his next adventure!
