About the employer
Courtyard by Marriott Hyannis is a hotel operated under Marriott International, located in Hyannis, Massachusetts, right in the heart of Cape Cod. The peninsula is a classic American summer destination, with beaches, lighthouses, quaint fishing villages, and ferries to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. Hyannis is also home to the John F. Kennedy Museum.
Summers here are busy with tourists, so you can expect a fast-paced season with a large international hotel company. Students can take advantage of the Marriott discount on hotel rooms. Keep in mind that public transportation is very limited – there is a regional bus with limited hours, so most students bike or walk.
