Quality Inn, the founding brand of Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH) and the first franchise hotel chain in the United States, celebrates its 85th anniversary by reflecting on its many accomplishments.
As a company that has been in business for over 80 years, we understand that the foundation of our success is our people. Choice Hotels is proud to offer an environment where employees feel they can make a difference. From innovative career development programs to a commitment to diversity and inclusion, we continually strive to create opportunities for our associates to succeed.
Choice Hotels International is expanding its Everhome Suites brand with new openings in Fayetteville, NC, and Cheyenne, WY, and a groundbreaking in Clarksville, TN. The brand now has seven properties open, with over 20 under construction and nearly 30 expected to open by the end of 2025. These developments address the high demand for extended stay accommodations and reflect Choice Hotels’ strategic focus on high-growth regions.
This year marks the fifth anniversary of the initiative, which has donated a total of $275,000 to local nonprofits through more than 70 hotels across the United States since its inception in 2019.
With Lobby in a Box, MainStay Suites Chesapeake introduces a versatile, multi-functional lobby that features a built-in marketplace with on-the-go meal and beverage options, essential travel items, and flexible seating. Complementing the new lobby design, the property also incorporates Choice’s Kitchen in a Box package, with in-room kitchens that enhance the guest experience by offering cooking amenities and residential comfort—a hallmark of the MainStay Suites brand. The combined installation of these packages creates a truly “Live Like Home” experience that supports both functionality and profitability for the property.
