The first location opened in 1989 in suburban Rochester, New York.[2] There are now over three hundred properties around the world.[1]
On July 21, 2008, Wyndham Hotels and Resorts[3] purchased US Franchise Systems, Inc., owner of the Microtel Inn & Suites and Hawthorn Suites brands, from Global Hyatt. US Franchise Systems had previously sold the America's Best Inn (formerly Best Inns) chain to the Country Hearth Inns chain in 2005. That holding company is now known as America's Best Franchising Inc.[4]
As of 2012, Microtel's logo had been changed to match the corporate design of Wingate by Wyndham and Hawthorn Suites, both owned by Wyndham Hotels and Resorts.[5]
