Red Carpet Inn

Guest amenities include: guestroom toiletries package, in-room high speed Internet access, and continental breakfast or a restaurant. The average property size is 68 rooms.

Scottish Inns

The Scottish Inns name has provided travelers with a clean and consistent economy, limited service lodging option that they can identify with and "A Good Nights Sleep" since 1967. Scottish Inns typically average 42 rooms.

Passport Inn
Brand by Hospitality International Inc

Many Passport Inns are smaller properties averaging 35 rooms and located in resort locations. These hotels are typically limited service facilities with budget or economy-level room rates as dictated by the local market.

Master Hosts Inns and Master Hosts Resorts are primarily located in resort or destination locations. They are full- service hotels that range from the mid- to upper-middle price range. The Master Hosts brand encourages hotels to preserve their own identities.

Downtowner Inns and Downtowner Inns & Suites are generally limited-service facilities in city centers or downtown locations in the economy to upper economy price range. Like Passport Inns, the franchise fee structure is designed for smaller properties. The average property size is 40 rooms.
