For over four decades, Total Management Systems has been  a trusted leader in hotel ownership and operations throughout the Southwest.

Founded in 1980 and headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, TMS is uniquely positioned in its ability to combine hands-on, proactive hotel management with a deep understanding of ownership priorities to deliver exceptional results.

Who We Are

Our story began in 1980, when T.M. (Tom) Sundaram—now Chairman of the Board—and Radha Sundaram, Secretary/Treasurer, purchased their first hotel in Gallup, New Mexico. With Tom’s background in architecture, developing hotels was a natural next step.

From those early beginnings, they went on to complete several successful hotel projects in Gallup. By 1996, Total Management Systems expanded into new markets including Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Texas, and beyond. Today, Total Management Systems’ decades of experience continue to translate into measurable success for its investors.

Our Purpose and Commitment

To create memorable guest experiences by finding thoughtful ways to delight and care for our guests. We are committed to delivering exceptional service that enlivens the senses, creates lasting impressions, and reflects the warmth of true hospitality. Each visit to a TMS-managed hotel is met with a clean, comfortable environment and a team that takes pride in every detail.

We also believe in giving back to the communities that support us—because when our neighborhoods thrive, so do we.

What We Stand For

At TMS, we uphold the values of trust, honesty, respect, and integrity in every aspect of our business. We foster a workplace culture where diversity is celebrated, quality of life is enhanced, and individual growth is encouraged.

We are committed to investing in our associates through continued training, career development, and a genuine respect for their families. These core values shape the way we serve our guests, support our teams, and strengthen our communities.

Our Commitment to Excellence in Hospitality

We strive to be the most respected hotel management company in New Mexico and other markets throughout continental U.S. Our long-term success is measured by the satisfaction of our guests—reflected in top-tier guest service scores—and by the pride and engagement of our associates, many of whom choose TMS as their long-term career home.

We aim for consistent growth while maintaining operational excellence, building a culture where every hotel under our management is seen as a leader in service, integrity, and financial performance.

Develop Great People. Deliver Exceptional Results.

We invest in our team by mentoring, training daily, and growing from within. Our culture is built on leading by example, fostering spirit and accountability, and empowering high-performing associates to shine.

By cultivating talent and maintaining high expectations, we ensure that our mission, values, and goals are lived out in every hotel—every shift, every guest interaction, every day.
