As per the terms of the agreement, five Sleep Inn hotels and five dual-brand Sleep Inn and MainStay Suites properties will be developed across California and Arizona.

Choice Hotels vice-president Brian Quinn said: “Our decades of midscale expertise and proven brands continue to attract developers coast to coast.

“The Sleep Inn brand’s refreshed prototype appeals to owners by having the lowest cost-to-build in the segment. In addition, the Sleep Inn and MainStay Suites dual-brand offers operational efficiencies and a diverse model that serves business, leisure and extended-stay guests—we’re proud that this concept now has over 100 hotels open or in the pipeline.”

In a separate development, Choice Hotels and Concord Hospitality subsidiary CHECO Purchase Company have agreed to build 27 new WoodSpring Suites hotels.
