Beatriz Peon,
General Manager
Ayres Hotel Rialto Fontana

Ayres prides ourselves in participating in local ROP and Career Technical programs. Beatriz Peon’s journey to Ayres is an ROP success story we are certainly proud of! In February 2004 and through her High School Hospitality ROP program, Beatriz landed at one of our Ontario properties as a Front Desk Agent. Very soon after, she was promoted to Sales and in 2012, she took an even bigger leap to oversee our Diamond Bar property as General Manager and most recently leads as the General Manager of our Ayres Hotel Rialto Fontana.  We could not have planned it better. Beatriz is a ‘hands-on’ Manager who dives in to ensure her team’s success, her guests needs are met at every level and her hotel’s results are top-notch!

Ayres and family go hand-in-hand! This mother-son duo is one to brag about and a love story to share! Cecilia joined our housekeeping department at our ALO location in 2006. Understanding our company policy, she joyfully re-located to another Ayres’ location when her son, Luis, joined the ALO location in 2011; also, in the housekeeping department. Since 2011, Luis has made his mother very proud and proven Ayres’ loves to promote from within! He has worked his way from Housekeeping/Laundry, Housekeeping Supervisor, Interim Executive Housekeeper, Front Desk, Front Desk Supervisor, Sales Coordinator, Assistant General Manager and most recently to our General Manager at Ayres Hotel Orange. Up is the only way for these two!

84+ years of service and going strong! The Martinez family knows a little something about having a career with Ayres! It all started when Alfredo joined our Ayres in-house Corporate Construction Team back in November of 1995. Soon after, Alfredo recruited his father Jose to join our Construction Team and his brother George to work in Engineering at our Costa Mesa property. And in July of 2003, we hired another family member, Karina to our Costa Mesa property as a Reservation Agent. She now is our Front Office Manager. Today, the Martinez family remains a large part of the Ayres’ family’s hospitality history and we look forward to their many more years of service to come!
