The much-lauded Martin Hospitality management company is somewhat legendary on the north Oregon coast. Readers of Condé Nast Traveler’s magazine recently ranked the Stephanie Inn 21st amongst U.S. hotels in the magazine’s 2006 Top 100 Reader’s Choice Awards.

A spokesperson for Martin Hospitality adds that employees “exemplify the season of giving” by donating their time to Operation Santa Claus, a charity that raises funds to purchase Christmas gifts for about 200 less fortunate children in Clatsop County. This charity was started some 10 years ago by Jan Martin and Sharon Major, current general manager of the Stephanie Inn. They take advantage of funds raised at various Martin Hospitality events held throughout the year, including hot dog roasts and spaghetti feeds. www.martinhospitality.com
