This newly constructed property is strategically located at 701 Froom Ranch Way, in close proximity to the recently developed SLO Ranch Farms & Marketplace. Guests will enjoy convenient access to local produce markets, artisan shops, and community events, making it an appealing option for both leisure and business travelers. The hotel is also just minutes away from downtown San Luis Obispo, California Polytechnic State University, and popular attractions including Avila Beach and Edna Valley Wine Country, solidifying its position as an ideal base for diverse visitor needs.
The Residence Inn is designed with extended-stay guests in mind, featuring suites equipped with full kitchens and spacious living areas, catering to corporate assignments and longer vacations.

Golda Escalante manages the hotel, leveraging her extensive hospitality experience to ensure exceptional guest experiences and satisfaction.
Kevin Keefer, Principal of Huntington Hotel Group, expresses pride in the opening of these hotels in such a remarkable part of California. He emphasizes that the project reflects years of dedication and hard work. This dual-branded establishment not only adds to Marriott's portfolio but also aims to provide travelers with a vibrant and comfortable experience, enhancing their stay on the California Central Coast. As the hospitality industry continues to evolve, Marriott's strategic expansion in key locations like San Luis Obispo highlights the company's commitment to meeting the diverse needs of modern travelers.
In other related developments, the Courtyard Atlanta Duluth Downtown has received the prestigious Diamond Circle Award from Marriott International, recognizing it as one of the top-performing properties within the Marriott Select Brands portfolio.

Moreover, the travel landscape is undergoing significant changes with the integration of artificial intelligence and new federal regulations aimed at protecting consumers. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) introduces rules to ensure transparency in hotel pricing, requiring that all fees be disclosed upfront. This move aims to enhance consumer trust and provide travelers with clearer choices, further evolving the industry's approach to customer service.
