Housekeeper Appreciation - You Bet!

This past week we celebrated Housekeeper Appreciation week. These hardworking staff members who are mostly behind the scenes,don't often get the recognition they deserve. My first job when I graduated from college and was looking for a teaching position, was as a housekeeper in a hotel on the beach in Kennebunkport.
I am ashamed to say looking back now, that I don't think I was anywhere as good as the people who work here at the Courtyard!

Our room cleanliness scores are exceptional, and it is due to the backbreaking work of these individuals. Cleaning up to 16 rooms a day on a regular basis is not a job for the weak of heart.

Nest time you stay in a hotel, remember to thank your housekeeper. A note, a smile, and yes - a tip, would be very appreciated.

Thank you to Housekeepers everywhere, but especially to those who make the Courtyard in Portland, Maine one of the cleanest places to stay.

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
