The proof that the American Dream is attainable, all started with root beer.
It was not an easy start. The oldest of the Marriott knew little about the management of a hotel.
He was very risk averse, and he didn't want to borrow money. You can't build hotels without borrowing money, says Marriott.
Marriott remembers that he asked his father for an opportunity to join the business.
I had just arrived on board from the Navy and my father told me: 'Well, the hotel is not going well.' I said: 'Well, why don't you let me direct it?' He said: 'You don't know anything about hotels.' I said: 'Neither are any of those here.' So he let me do it and I took the first hotel and we changed everything, we reinvented ourselves, says Marriott (founder)
