Since 1982, Hospitality International has offered franchisees five brands to choose from, allowing them to select the best particular location and geographic market that meets their business requirements. While owners’ hotels don’t have to follow a specific prototype, the company, which is based in the Atlanta suburb of Tucker, Ga., does require what it calls “commonsense” quality and service standards.
