Motel 6�s implementation of Pegasus� hotel booking technology comes on the heels of Motel 6 migrating its room inventory to the Red Roof Inns central reservations system (CRS).  Pegasus has a long-standing relationship with Motel 6�s sister company, Red Roof Inns, and �powers� the hotel booking capabilities for its Web site, www.redroof.com.  Travelers looking to book stays online at a Motel 6 can query room availability, book secure reservations and receive a confirmation in seconds for the more than 86,000 rooms offered in 48 U.S. states via the Motel 6 Web site. 

�Motel 6 prides itself on offering its customers consistent quality at the right price.  Our technology arrangement with Pegasus enables Motel 6 to continue to meet this standard by offering customers added convenience when booking a hotel room at one of our properties,� said Carol Kirby, group executive vice president of marketing and sales of Accor Lodging North America.  �As a result of moving to Pegasus� technology, we are able to eliminate the need to manually maintain an additional allotment of inventory in a separate system for Internet bookings.  Now, online reservations will be delivered from the www.motel6.com Web site to our CRS instantaneously with no human intervention.� 

According to Bryan Donowho, senior vice president, Pegasus Electronic Distribution, with online travel sales reaching an all-time high, hoteliers are stepping up the priority of offering customers the ability to book hotel rooms via the Internet.  �Pegasus is providing large hotel companies, like Motel 6 and Red Roof Inns, with a reliable, scalable solution for handling large volumes of Internet reservations,� Donowho said. 

�As U.S. hotel chains enter the high season, it becomes increasingly important that they have reliable online booking engines.  Because the Motel 6 site is the only site where consumers can book Motel 6 rooms and receive an instant confirmation online, it�s critical that the Motel 6 booking engine be fully operational 24/7,� Donowho continued.  �Motel 6 turned to the best company to provide that kind of support � Pegasus Solutions.  We are very pleased to expand our relationship with the Accor Lodging North America family through our latest assignment with Motel 6.�
