From the September 19th Chicago Tribune.
Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express are currently underway with a major renovation campaign on most all of their motels.
Some interesting facts about them and other motel chains. Year founded, number of hotels, typical room cost.
HOLIDAY INN: 1952, more than 3,400, $80-$119 a night.
BEST WESTERN: 1946, more than 4,000, $70-$100 a night.
RED ROOF INN: 1972, 345, $50-$72 a night.
MOTEL SIX: 1962, 1,060, $40-$59 a night.
SUPER 8: 1974, 2,150, $55-$75 a night.
Keep those prices down. I stay in a lot of motels on travels. So far this year I've spent 40 nights in motels so price is a major consideration.
