hihotels by Hospitality International has added three new properties to its family of brands. The expansion includes two independent and one franchised conversion.
“We are pleased with these strategic signings,” said Chris Guimbellot, president/CEO, hihotels. “This reinforces our commitment to supporting independent owners and facilitating brand conversions. Our mission is to deliver outstanding resources and value, empowering hoteliers to maximize their revenue potential.”
The additions include:
- Scottish Inns & Suites – Forney, TX: 30 rooms, formerly a Super 8, located off US Highway 80.
- Downtowner Inns & Suites – Humble, TX: Former Mustang Inn with 35 rooms, near Interstate 69, Humble Museum and George Bush Intercontinental Airport.
- Red Carpet Inn & Suites – Bellmawr, NJ: 44 rooms, previously independent, located on Black Horse Pike near Route 295 and the New Jersey Turnpike.
“Joining the Downtowner brand allows me to benefit from the resources of a national chain while preserving my property’s independence,” said Yash Patel, owner of the Humble property.
hihotels’ unique franchising model prioritizes open communication; direct contact with the CEO and the entire team; and franchisee feedback. Its five brands—Scottish Inns, Red Carpet Inn, Master Hosts Inns, Downtowner Inns and Passport Inn—have practical standards customized to each property and market, resulting in high franchisee retention, according to the company.
