A Smart-By-Design® Franchise Opportunity

A Red Roof franchise has been an extraordinarily positive experience from almost all standpoints; customer service, design help, purchasing efficiencies, brand loyalty and, most importantly, reservations. The brand has consistently performed extremely well in good and bad economic times and often punched above its weight and rate. Brand changes are always done by considering franchisee needs while ensuring the customer gets the most value for their money. The company has also been very adaptive changing customer demographics and has adapted both its physical plant and virtual image to appeal to a broad cross section of travelers.

Red Roof is securely positioned in the upper-end of the economy segment with RevPARs currently averaging 21% higher than competing economy hotels in the markets in which we compete. Our Smart-by-Design® approach to franchising is evident in everything we do, from exciting new prototypes and conversion plans to day-to-day operations training. We focus on the details that keep our guests coming back and our franchise business owners successful.
