Am I buying Castle Host’s service or a Marzan AI subscription?+
Castle Host’s managed service. Marzan AI is our internal operations tool, used by our team to support the work agreed for your portfolio. This is not a separate self-service software subscription or another tool you have to manage.
Is this just automated guest messaging?+
No. Guest conversations are one part of the service. Castle Host can also support booking administration, turnover coordination, maintenance follow-up, revenue opportunities, reviews, registration and reporting preparation. We agree which workflows and responsibilities apply to your operation.
Do I need to change my PMS or replace my team?+
We start with the systems and people you already use. Compatibility is checked for the specific information and actions each workflow requires. Your cleaners, maintenance providers and local operators continue to look after the properties.
What can happen automatically, and what needs approval?+
A workflow can be read-only, draft-first, approval-required or authorized under a standing rule. We define the permitted actions and escalation contacts during setup. Payments, refunds, cancellations and other consequential actions require explicit authority and supported system capabilities.
What happens when the AI is unsure or a guest has an urgent problem?+
Missing information and decisions outside the agreed rules are routed to the designated person. Human coverage, urgent escalation and any response commitments are defined in your service agreement. An automated task does not replace an on-site emergency response.
What information does Marzan use?+
The agreed property instructions, reservation context and connected records needed for the scoped workflows. Access, authorized recipients and document channels are defined during setup. Ask us to confirm storage, retention and model-provider data handling for your configuration before sharing sensitive information.
What is included, and what does it cost?+
Marzan supports Castle Host’s managed service; it is not presented here as an additional software subscription. We confirm the workflows, systems, human responsibilities and any add-ons in your proposal. Custom integrations, advanced implementations and full accounting should not be assumed to be included in every plan.
Can I see how this would work for my properties?+
Yes—book a portfolio walkthrough. We will discuss your actual workload, explain the relevant workflows and distinguish what is already configured from what needs setup for your operation. You do not need to send guest records, passwords or identity documents to book a call.
