The air is clear and warm in the mountains of Charlotte, it’s a sunny
afternoon for a picnic in Dallas, and Microtel Inn & Suites hotels in
these locales and more across the nation are ushering in Spring 2004 with
great savings. Single accommodations are from as low as $32 per night, and
double accommodations start at $42 per night. It’s all part of the chain’s
“Spring Fling” getaway promotion, now through May 31st at participating
hotels. “With more than 250 hotels nationwide, Microtel offers value and
reliability, and a chance for everyone to benefit from our already low
rates,” said Jon Leven, senior vice president of marketing for the chain.

To take advantage of the special rates, travelers can book their stay on
the Microtel web site at http://www.microtelinn.com/ or by calling
1-800-771-7171.

Microtel’s “Spring Fling” rates do not include tax and black out dates may
apply. Rates are only available for purchase online or by calling Microtel
direct, with advance reservations required. Rates are based on
availability and cannot be combined with any other special discounts or
promotional offers. A full listing of participating hotels, and terms and
conditions, is available on the Microtel web site.

Microtel is one of the fastest growing hotel brands in the U.S., and for
the second consecutive year, has been ranked highest in guest satisfaction
among the economy/budget hotel chains by J.D. Power and Associates. As of
December 31, 2003, there were 266 Microtels open or under construction in
the U.S. and four other countries. All properties offer continental
breakfast, and travelers can enjoy membership in MicroPass(TM), the
