Best Value Inn has “incredible” growth

Thursday, 08 May, 2007 0

America’s Best Value Inn added 63 new properties since the start of this year, company officials say.

Texas and California have the most new Americas Best Value Inn properties flying the ABVI flag. Canada added its ninth Canada’s Best Value Inn with the addition of a 64-room hotel in Miramichi, New Brunswick.

While most of the 63 new additions are conversions from other chains and independent hotels, there are three new construction projects underway. 

With the recent introduction of a 40-room prototype and a 61-room prototype, new constructions of Americas Best Value Inns are expected to grow quickly in the coming years.

“We signed 63 new properties in the first 17 weeks of the year,” said Roger Bloss, CEO, President and Founder of Americas Best Value Inn and Vantage Hospitality.  “That averages out to four properties per week or almost one property per business day since this year began.”

He termed it “incredible” growth.

“Obviously, the need for hotel owners to have more control over their operations and to have a voice and a vote in the brand’s direction has continued to grow,” said Mr Bloss.

He said the fast-growing  numbers show there is more demand than ever for hotel owners to join a brand that will offer them a great deal of independence yet provide them with the resources necessary to increase income.
