SpringHill Suites Potomac Mills played a vital role in advancing the county’s tourism initiatives, actively participating in Visit Prince William sales missions and leaving a lasting impression on prospective clients. Their team encouraged collaboration among Woodbridge-area hotels, forming a Marriott-brand working group that allowed them to bid on larger events and secure business that might have otherwise gone to neighboring jurisdictions. Additionally, they were instrumental in supporting the Solheim Cup hotel reservation process, assisting other hotels in the region and ensuring a seamless experience for visitors.
