"This is a first in the hospitality industry and an enormous leap forward in Microtel's development," said Mike Leven, president and CEO of US Franchise Systems, Inc., parent company of the franchisor of the Microtel Inns & Suites brand.  "Microtel has always offered guests clean and comfortable accommodations at an affordable price... these unique new services add even greater value and convenience, all included in the price of the room."

Leven added that Project Reveille would further differentiate Microtel as the leading hotel brand in the budget/economy segment, and raise the bar on the scope of amenities that hotels offer guests. 

Microtel guests can now enjoy free local and long distance phone calls to anywhere in the continental U.S., free wireless high speed Internet access in every room, plus advance online check-in and check-out.  Guests are able to access their folios online and pre-register for their room on the Microtel web site at http://www.microtelinn.com. 

There are currently 275 Microtel hotels open or under construction worldwide.  All Microtel properties are independently owned and operated.
