The operator behind Pride Hotels
Josh Gaddis founded Pride Hotels, LLC to give ownership the kind of management they would run themselves if they had the time. Close to the property, honest about the numbers, and accountable for the result.
He has spent nearly two decades in hospitality and has seen the business from three angles. At the hotel level, he came up through the front desk and into general management. At the regional level, he directed operations across multi-property portfolios. At the brand level, he works in franchise performance alongside owners and operators across select service, extended stay, and full service hotels.
That range is what he brings to an engagement. Josh knows what a brand review is actually measuring, how an owner reads a management fee, and where a P&L loses money that no standard report calls out.
He also builds the systems the company runs on. Josh developed the proprietary accounting and reporting platform Pride Hotels uses in house, and applies AI to the work that used to consume a manager's week: reconciling financials, reading guest feedback at scale, and turning operating data into decisions a General Manager can act on the same day. The result is a small team operating with the analytical horsepower of a much larger one, and owners keeping more of what their hotels earn.
Josh is based in the Memphis area and works with ownership groups across the Mid-South and beyond.
