"Microtel continues to lead the budget hotel segment in meeting the needs of both business and leisure travelers," said Mike Leven, CEO and president of US Franchise Systems, Inc. (USFS), parent company of the franchisor of the Microtel Inns & Suites brand. "To that end, Microtel will soon raise the bar on the scope of value and amenities that hotels offer guests. All our properties will provide free local and free long distance phone calls, and free wireless high speed Internet access in every guest room by the end of this year."
As one of the fastest growing chains, Microtel Inns & Suites are all newly-constructed, interior corridor, budget/economy hotels with single, double and suite accommodations. All hotels offer complimentary continental breakfast, and members of the free MicroPass(TM) frequent guest program earn a free night's stay after just nine night stays at any Microtel Inns & Suites location.
In addition, for the second consecutive year, Microtel has been ranked highest in guest satisfaction among economy/budget hotel chains by J.D. Power and Associates' prestigious 'North American Hotel Guest Satisfaction Study.' As of March 31, 2004, there were 269 Microtels open or under construction worldwide.
