In a globalized world, it can be hard for locally owned hotels to compete with the big chains. Many have traded their own identities for a franchise model, eroding their sense of pride in the business.
In 2003, our founders Melissa and Thomas Magnuson set out to create a better way. As former owners of independent hotels, they knew firsthand the value of real support – without corporate rules or high fees.
Today, the market continues to evolve. Guests want an authentic experience that suits their needs. Owners want to optimize their offering to attract these everyday travelers.
That’s why we’re still family-run and 100% focused on helping independent hotels to grow their own way. With affordable weekly rates and long-term stay options, these are places where hotel guests, owners and their communities can thrive together.
