Chief Engineer –


Key West Marriott Beach Hotel by Robert Elliott, CCE


I recently had the opportunity to visit Eric Geen, Chief Engineer at the Key West Marriott Beach Hotel. The property is beach front and abso- lutely beautiful. During my visit, the weather was unseasonably cold for February, all the way down to the 70s. We also met some vacationers from Alaska and they had just left weather that was 30 degrees below zero; a full 100 degree differential.


Hi Eric, can you tEll our rEadErs a littlE about your- sElf and your propErty?


My name is Eric Geen and I am the Chief Engineer at the Key West Mar- riot Beachside Hotel (KWMBH). Our hotel is the first hotel you pass on your way into Key West, on the water with two small beach areas. We are a four star four diamond; full amenity resort with 213 suites and over 6000 square foot of banquet, ballroom, and conference area.
