Suburban Lodges' President, Greg Plank said, "When you run such high occupancies, some might ask, 'why do you need a conventional reservation systems?' Our objectives are twofold: First, even at hotels running 90% there is room for a few more guests and we want them all. Second, with e-commerce and the GDS, millions will see the Suburban Lodges logo on their screens every time they look for hotel accommodations. We want to continually remind them that we are the best lodging value in America."

There are millions of travelers who have not experienced the convenience and cost savings of extended-stay lodging. We know from our own studies that when they find it, they like it and come back again and again. These new links to the world will help spread the word that there is a better alternative to the standard nightly hotel."
