Marriott, while not the market leader (Hilton Hotels is) is still an excellent company. The best things I like about the hotel: it's expanding rapidly and the majority holdings are owned by insiders or institutional investors such as Goldman Sachs (GS) and T. Rowe Price. There was a recent drop in stock price associated with slightly disappointing earnings in the 3Q 2007, but this is not going to last. This company is well positioned to overtake the leading competitor and outdistance number 3 in this category; Intercontinental Hotels, the owner of Holiday Inn. Not only am I fan of the stock, I'm a frequent patron of the chain. I've spent well over 100 nights per year in hotels all around the world over the last several years and routinely look for Marriott hotels, because of there consistent quality and outstanding customer service.
