About Residence Inns by Marriott:

Residence Inn by Marriott is a pioneer in the extended-stay hotel segment, being the first to serve the needs of business travelers seeking apartment-style accommodations for longer stays. Opening its doors to guests in 1975, the brand quickly assumed a leadership role, spearheading design and service standards for this lodging tier. Marriott International purchased the 96-property Residence Inn Corporation in 1987 and has since developed Residence Inn by Marriott into the largest extended-stay hotel brand in the United States.

Residence Inn's mission is to help business travelers Thrive on Long Stays®. Combining upscale style and functionality, suites are spacious, allowing travelers the ability to work and relax, maintaining balance while on the road. Featuring full kitchens and separate living and sleeping areas in every room, Residence Inn offer guests flexibility and options that fit their routine. The associates' personalized service and attention to detail help guests feel welcomed and appreciated. Connectivity to home and office, health and fitness options, as well as comfortable public areas to socialize or relax make Residence Inn the ideal choice for both business and leisure guests.
