My group previously visited the Sheraton Hotel for our first interview with the front desk manager and it went very well. We decided to keep with the same hotel for our next interview, but due to a last-minute cancellation from the housekeeping manager we were not able to complete the interview. Due to this situation, I will be talking about a whole different hotel - G6 Hospitality. The name G6 Hospitality refers to the hotel brands – Motel 6 and Studio 6. I chose to G6 Hospitality because it is a well-known company that I wanted to know about more in-depth. From all my research, I have gained a lot of insight on what G6 Hospitality is all about. The history of G6 Hospitality goes back to about 55 years ago. Two guys …show more content…
It experienced rapid expansion throughout the 1970’s and early 1980’s. Because of the tremendous acceptance of this booming new budget motel across the entire country, Motel 6 was obtained by an investment group led by Kohlberg, Kravis, Roberts & Company (KKR). Due to the great efforts of the KKR, Motel 6 was able to release its first advertising campaign in 1986: “We’ll leave the light on for you®.” A few years later in 1990, the company became a subsidiary of a French Hotel company, Accor’s. Under the leadership of Accor’s, the brand grew into franchising, growing from 500 locations to 1,100. Along with the franchising came Motel 6’s extended stay brand in 1999, Studio 6. This was another huge accomplishment and revolution for this company. Finally in October 2012, The Blackstone Group completed its acquirement of the Motel 6 and Studio 6 brands and G6 Hospitality (the brands’ management company) was born. In 2015 G6 Hospitality was rated one of the top 10 hospitality companies according to the Hotel Management Top Hotel rankings list, which evaluated over 260 hotel companies. Today, the G6 hospitality network has more than 1,200 locations in the U.S. and Canada (http://www.g6mediacenter.com/us/motel6.html). This company has a lot of history behind it and it has become such an excellent …show more content…
The company offers a total rewards package that included a competitive salary, incentive plans and a wide variety of benefit designs to meet a persons’ needs and aid them in difficult times and plan for the future. Some of the benefits for the G6 Hospitality corporate include, Medical and Description Drug Plan, Dental Plan, Long and short-term disability, supplemental life insurance, performance bonuses, 401(k) savings and investment plan, vouchers for hotel stay and much more. If someone if interested in working in the hospitality industry this would be a fantastic company to work for or start at. A manager from Motel 6 in North Dakota said, “You can learn any position you want to apply for and advancing within the company is easy if you are willing to learn and put in the work” (http://www.indeed.com/cmp/Motel-6-/-Studio-6/reviews?fcountry=US). This employee confirms my statement on how G6 Hospitality is a great company to work for and hard work truly does pay off in this type of industry. Although my group was not able have the second interview with Sheraton Suites Hotel, I was able to gain a lot of knowledge about a different company. I learned much about an extremely popular lodging franchise (Motel 6 and Studio 6) and from that I can enlighten people around me that next time I am traveling and pass one of them. Like I said before, I was not very familiar

Back in 1978, China had only 137 tourist hotels. With the introduction of economic reform and the open door policy, this led to a rapid growth in the hotel industry for China. The InterContinental Hotel Group (IHG) was among the earliest international hotel chains to enter the China Market. The first hotel they introduced to China was the Lido Holiday Inn that was opened in Beijing. After the first year of the Holiday Inn in China, there was an outstanding performance by earning a big profit. This proved that the market for international owned hotels was good and with tourism and the economy growing every year, why wouldn’t you place a hotel in Chinas growing market. Just ten years later, there were ten more hotels managed by the IHG in major cities in China. The InterContinental brand innovated to the China market to set them apart from the competition. They were the first international hotel chain to launch a Chinese language website and the first to offer online reservations to guests who did not use credit cards.

The Hotel industry has become very important in the past years due to immense traveling and growth of international business. The Hotel industry not only plays an important role in the life of people but as well as the economy of the country. I spent an hour of my day relaxing in the lobby at the Fontainebleau resort in Miami, while on vacation with my family visiting from out of state. It was my first time staying at the resort so I was eager to check it out, after seeing such great reviews on Yelp and hearing great things from friends who have been there in the past. The employees working at the resort were very welcoming, professional and willing to go above and beyond to help their guests. The check-in process was very quick due to having
