New Elite Mankato Hotel in Minnesota Promises New Lobby & More

Jill Reed is no stranger to Minnesota or the hospitality industry. After having lived in Mankato for the past five years, and with more than a decade of experience in the business, this Minnesota native was the natural choice to be the new Corporate Sales Manager at Courtyard by Marriott Mankato.

"Corporate sales is my true passion," Reed says, "and I am very grateful to be a part of such a beautiful property."

Reed joins the Courtyard by Marriott Mankato, which is located next to the River Hills Mall, after achieving impressive sales goals at a handful of area hotels. Her results-based sales history, as well as her experience in event management, makes her a real asset to the Courtyard team.

Of course, the Courtyard by Marriott Mankato's comfortable accommodations, state-of-the-art lobby (with fresh, inviting spaces for relaxing or logging on) and easy proximity to attractions like Minnesota State University all make Reed's job considerably easier. This is one hotel where modern conveniences and thoughtful amenities speak to a wide range of visitors.

Just as the newly designed lobby is engineered to accommodate many purposes, the Courtyard by Marriott Mankato offers versatile dining options in its on-property restaurant, The Bistro. Serving breakfast (with Starbucks coffee), lunch and dinner not to mention an evening bar with beer and wine The Bistro can accommodate any palate.

"I am very excited to be part of the Courtyard team," Reed adds, and it's not hard to see why. The Courtyard by Marriott Mankato's numerous advantages combined with Reed's extensive experience promise a bright future for both.
