Travel Well - Dayna

Everyone is a Concierge

One of the best parts of working at a hotel is helping others enjoy the things we get to see and do everyday! Seeing the joy and excitement on someones face when they return from a great meal, or a visit to Portland Headlight, just reinforces that I have chosen one of the best places on earth to live - despite the winters.

Here at the Courtyard, we encourage every staff member to be a concierge. We don't just send you to the place that delivers cookies to us - we find out what YOU are looking for and tailor our recommendations to give you the best individualized experience. That is one reason why we do not have brochure racks in our lobby!

On our website, www.marriott.com/pwmlo you can find links to many area events, attractions, and restaurants - so you can do some exploring on your own before you get here! You might find you need to visit more than once...

Travel Well,

Dayna

Clam Festival Weekend

I can hardly wait - it is Clam Festival time again, and the weather forecast is looking good! http://www.clamfestival.com/
We still have a few rooms left for this coming weekend, but I am expecting them to go quickly as people realize this will be a great weekend to get away!



The Courtyard by Marriott in South Portland is just 20 miles from Yarmouth the home of the festival. Stop by the Royal River Chorus Clam booth and visit with me on Friday! or come see us perform on Sunday afternoon on the NYA lawn - Better Together, my quartet will be singing at the performance. http://www.royalriver.org/

Come back to your spacious room and comfy bed at the Courtyard, perhaps stopping by the lounge to have a nightcap and a little conversation with Harry or Matt before turning in for the night. Yup - this is the way life should be! make your reservation at www.marriott.com/pwmlo

Travel Safely!
