The Crystal Gateway Marriott goes "Green": The Crystal Gateway Marriott is constantly striving to be a better environmental citizen. The hotel is working to change its lighting to the latest in energy-saving light bulbs. It now offers throughout the hotel, both in the back of the house and to their guest, opportunities to recycle. It now has available a host of convention and food and beverage products that are biodegradable, including "to-go" containers made from corn starch. Monthly, the Recycling Committee meets to review the results and look for ways to reduce the hotel's impact on the local environment.
