Marriott on the Move

I was really happy to hear the President talk about immigration reform in his State of the Union, and even happier to see the bipartisanship that seems to be coming together around this issue.

I recently stayed at our Harbor Beach Resort in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and I got a departure card from Ana Ruiz. Ana is a senior housekeeper who works on the upper floors of the hotel. She's been with our company for 35 years. She started out making beds, and she's still doing it, but she now supervises others. . .

I'm blogging from the road today. I'm in San Antonio for a Residence Inn and TownePlace Suites General Managers' meeting. We had almost 850 people in our auditorium this morning and boy, are they enthusiastic about the future of the business and the way their properties are doing.

I've always loved San Antonio. It's a city that's so rich in history and culture. It has a very heavy Hispanic influence and we have a lot of diversity in this city and in our company. And I want to see that diversity continue to be reflected....
