Best Inns And Best Suites Becomes America's Best Inns & Suites

(Wednesday, September 15, 2004) - Best Inns and Best Suites, the national hotel chain that offers travelers healthier lodging choices with its EverGreen™ rooms, has become “America’s Best Inns & Suites” and will immediately start doing business as such, the company announced today.

The brand’s web site has changed to www.americasbestinns.com.

“We are excited about the opportunities the name change will afford the brand,” said Mike Leven, president and CEO of US Franchise Systems, Inc. (USFS), parent company of the franchisor of the brand. “We look forward to expanding our customer and franchisee base as America’s Best Inns & Suites.”

USFS received approval from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granting it ownership of the name, America’s Best Inns & Suites, and certain variations consistent with a particular hotel’s brand designation, such as “America’s Best Inn” and “America’s Best Suites.”

Over the next months, existing signage at properties around the nation will be changed, and subsequently, USFS will focus on marketing the new names. Signage indicating America’s Best Inn is already visible at properties in Augusta and Bangor, Maine, and Portsmouth, N.H.

America’s Best Inns & Suites is a mid-priced hotel brand that offers single, double and suite accommodations, with free local phone calls, complimentary breakfast, cable television with one free premium movie channel or pay-per-view, and ESPN. Guests enjoy membership in ‘America’s Best Traveler’ frequent guest loyalty program, and all hotels feature at least 10 percent of their rooms as EverGreen accommodations for health conscious, environmentally-sensitive guests. The brand was named the number-one hotel chain in the economy segment in this year’s Business Travel News’ “Top U.S. Hotel Chain Survey of U.S. Corporate Travel Buyers” for the second time.
