Since the inception of InnVentures in 1982, we have consistently earned recognition from Marriott International for our performance. We have received Marriott’s coveted "Partnership Circle" award, the highest honor bestowed on its franchisees, and in 2004, made Marriott history by being the first franchisee to earn three "Hotel of the Year" awards in the same year.
The Marriott Hotels we operate compete with properties across the nation for these awards. Among them are more than 600 Courtyard by Marriott properties, more than 450 Residence Inn by Marriott properties and more than 100 TownePlace Suites by Marriott properties. To be deemed the best in any brand is quite an honor! We are proud of our management and staff for making these achievements possible.
