With the current economic situation we are facing, it’s becoming more and more difficult for people to travel. Those who used to take a big annual trip or head out of town for weekend getaways now and then are finding it more difficult this year. But, now that the holiday season is upon us, there is actually a way for you to give your friends and loved ones the gift of travel by defraying part of the cost: the Courtyard gift card!
It can be used at any Marriott property and it never expires, so the recipient can go wherever they want, whenever they want. The Courtyard gift card can be used to pay for rooms, food, beverages or any other services the hotel may offer. Or, for those who love our bedding and other amenities, it can even be used on our www.shopcourtyard.com site.
Over the past few years, we’ve upgraded a lot of the products and amenities at Courtyard, like the bedding, linens and toiletries. The reaction has been great. In fact, since so many people are fans of these products, we decided to make them available online for everyone to purchase.
Now you can buy the actual Courtyard bed as well as the mattress topper, blanket, linens and pillows that go with it. You can also order our bath and body products from the Davies Gate line and our very soft . . .
I’m here at the Newport News, Virginia airport hotel where we just celebrated the 25th anniversary of our Courtyard brand. It was great day. We had a special guest leading the celebration, our CEO and chairman Bill Marriott. Rather than having me tell you all about it, let’s hear from our guest blogger, Bill Marriott. And, while you’re here, don’t forget to click on the Look to the Future tab above to see new videos.
At the end of the month, Courtyard will be celebrating its 25th anniversary at the Courtyard Newport News Airport in Virginia. It’s our first Courtyard to feature the new exterior look with the new lobby and guest room design. Last weekend, I paid the hotel a visit to take a look. The whole package is fantastic. The hotel really looks beautiful. But don’t just take my word for it – here’s a short video blog. It’s a sneak preview.
As you can probably tell from the blog entries I posted this summer about my vacation and weekend trips, I love to travel. And judging by the comments I receive, many of you who read my blog do, too. However, with the current economic situation, I know it’s getting much more difficult to get away and take a nice, relaxing trip.
That’s why I’m so excited to tell you about the offer Marriott just announced today – 20% off the regular weekend rate at participating hotels through December 21st. Whether you plan . . .
