John Foley, Vice President of Safemark Systems says, “In considering that the study revealed that 62% of hoteliers believe that safes should last 11 years or more, I would urge potential buyers to carefully evaluate the service delivery and overall product performance of any company with which you're considering establishing this long-term relationship. Safemark is the only company that stands by its product by offering a five-year/five-thousand dollar warranty against theft by forcible entry.”

Safemark offers a variety of options for their clients.

Their extremely high level of customer service makes them a company we want to be associated with for a long time.”

Other satisfied Safemark customers include Rick Brown, Director of the Rooms Operations for the San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina. The hotel recently selected the Millennium 5.0 metallic safe for installation at the hotel because they are large enough to accommodate laptops, cameras and other essentials for the business traveler as well as the leisure guest.

In commenting on the Marriott installation, Brown says guests appreciate and have responded positively to the system and its ease of operation. "I was very impressed with the quality of the product s well as the level of service offered by the Safemark organization. With close to 1400rooms, I was a little nervous with the installation logistics but their expert installation crew handled it without a wrinkle and addressed all of my questions. Based upon the success that we have seen with this product, I highly recommend Safemark Systems.”
