Microtel Inn and Suites is the fastest growing chain of hotels in the market.  It has established a reputation for customer satisfaction in the minds of travelers around the country.   J.D. Power and Associates  ranks Microtel Inn and Suites highest in guest satisfaction among budget/economy  hotel chains in the North American Guest Satisfaction Study.  This is the sixth consecutive year that Microtel has received this honor.

The success of the Microtel brand is based on simplicity.  From the ease of operations, to smaller land requirements , to low development costs, the business has a proven method for adding franchises and allowing them to start strong.

The ease of operation is based on having a simple rate structure as well as less full time employees than most other chains, allowing the hotels to be less management intensive.  In addition, each franchise will benefit from revenue management services, online check in and check out for guests, and the ability to forward calls to the central reservation office during busy times.  All of these tools are designed to help the franchise operation run smoothly as well as keep costs under control.

The Franchise Fee for a Microtel Inn and Suites is $40,000.  The initial investment for getting a hotel off the ground is expected to be at least $500,000.  In addition there will be a 6% Royalty fee and a 2% marketing fee, for a total fee of 8% on each hotel.

Hawthorne Suites is a mid market, all suites, extended stay hotel.  The company provides flexible building designs to fit the specific market needs of any given area.  This allows for the hotel to be able to service the differing needs of business travelers attending training classes, those on temporary assignment, those going through corporate relocation, as well as leisure travelers.

Hawthorne Suites has a proven methodology for success. That method is based on fair and responsible franchising, with a relationship between the Franchisee and Franchisor that continues well beyond the point of sale.  The terms of the franchise will contribute to building good faith, strong working relationships, and a reasonable fee structure.

With Hawthorne suites there is a guaranteed territory for each franchise.  In addition, the company does not have complete control the way many other franchisors do.  For example, any major change that requires a substantial investment by the franchisee must be approved by 66% of all open hotels in the system prior to those changes taking effect.

The Franchise Fee for a Hawthorne Suite is $40,000 or $400 per suite, whichever is greater.   In addition, there is a royalty fee of 5%, a marketing fee of 2.5%, as well as a GDS fee of $50 monthly.
