Hotel operator investigating data security breach

White Lodging Services Corp. is investigating a potential credit-card security breach.

The hotel management company has 171 hotels in its portfolio, include 78 properties under Marriott International’s Courtyard and Residence Inn brands.

White Lodging “has experienced unusual fraud patterns in connection with its systems that process credit card transactions at a number of hotels across a range of brands,” Marriott said in a statement Saturday. “The suspected breach did not impact any systems that Marriott owns or controls.”
