“Our current pace of development is leading us to another record year in network growth,” said Olivier Poirot, CEO for Accor North America, Motel 6 and Studio 6. “We are focused on adding quality properties to our network and providing our guests with more convenient locations where they can find everything they expect of Motel 6: a clean, comfortable room at the lowest price of any national chain.”

The 2009 additions include 50 new franchises (nine of which were previously Motel 6 corporate-owned properties), two corporate acquisitions, and one corporate new-build (the first “Phoenix” prototype), covering 21 states and one Canadian province. Accor North America currently has over 1,000 economy lodging locations in the U.S. and Canada, with roughly 35 percent of its network consisting of franchises.
