Residence Inn by Marriott
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Residence Inn by Marriott is a brand of extended stay hotels. The chain was launched in 1977 in Wichita, Kansas by Jack DeBoer, and acquired by Marriott International in 1987. As of April 2005, there were over 450 Residence Inn hotels in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The brand's slogan is Your home away from home.
The usual appearance of a Residence Inn is a Main Building housing the front desk, a common area for meal service, a swimming pool and exercise room and often several out buildings similar to condo complexes. Residence Inns typically feature a complimentary hot breakfast in the morning and a free light dinner or snack on weekday evenings, Monday through Thursday. In contrast to Marriott's low-cost TownePlace Suites brand, Residence Inn competes in the upper moderate to low upscale segment.
