Marriott International’s extended-stay brand Residence Inn is now present in all 50 states, due to its recent opening in Wyoming.

This achievement gives Marriott International its second brand with a location in every state, followed by Courtyard by Marriott in 2009.

“We’re so pleased that Residence Inn by Marriott can now welcome guests in every state, from Alaska to Hawai’i,” said Eric Jacobs, chief development officer, select service and extended stay brands for North America, Marriott International. “It’s a huge achievement — and proof that both customers and hotel investors see tremendous value in catering to the unique needs of guests who are on the road for at least five nights and appreciate the secure and trusted home-plus experience.”

This year, the brand is expected to open 60 additional hotels in Canada, Europe and the United States. Residence Inn has roughly 725 properties globally with 230 in the works.

The properties are suite hotels that offer studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom accommodations. Guests looking for a revitalizing and refreshing sleep are able to enjoy the hotel’s mattresses and crisp linens while those focused on work will have the suite’s large, well-lit work desk, chair and complimentary WiFi access. The suites, designated for stays of five nights or more, come equipped with a kitchen that includes a coffeemaker, microwave oven and appliances.

Guests are able to start their day with a complimentary breakfast that includes healthy food options with a convenient to-go offering. The RiMix, an after-work, casual, relaxing environment, allows guests to enjoy light fare while being social. The hotels also include a meeting room, business library, an indoor swimming pool, an outdoor patio with a fire pit and barbecue, an exercise room and Sport Court.
