G6 HOSPITALITY

If you ’ ve ever stayed in a Motel 6 property you won ’ t have been surprised with chocolates on your pillow ( which probably only comes in one grade of softness ). You won ’ t have been spoilt for choice when it comes to breakfast items and you won ’ t have top-of-the-range bathroom items . What you will have , though , is exactly what you thought you were getting when you booked , and that ’ s what G6 Hospitality LLC has built the brand ’ s reputation on .

“ We hold our standards pretty tight ,” says Jon Bateman , Vice President Design and Construction . “ Our rooms are very important to us . Our guests expect a clean , comfortable room at an affordable rate and that ’ s the value proposition we offer consistently throughout the network .”
G6 Hospitality LLC owns , operates and franchises more than 1,400 economy lodging locations under its iconic Motel 6 and Studio 6 Extended Stay brands . Headquartered in Dallas ( Carrollton ), Texas , the company employs nearly 10,000 team members across the US and Canada with projects in every state in the USA including Alaska . The programme uses consultants and associations to train on the latest design construction and safety methods .
For franchises , G6 uses a prototype that allows flexible design and lets the franchisee configure their property in a shape that conforms to their site needs . The prototype is then designed with construction costs and profitable operations in mind and G6 provides the prototypical drawings for flexible layouts and sizes , preliminary site sketches and construction support .
