By Choice Hotels

The MainStay Suites brand was introduced in 1996 by Choice Hotels International as one of the first
franchised, mid-market, extended stay alternatives to the significantly more expensive competition.
Recognizing the vast opportunity in this market, we have developed a construction prototype that is
popular with both developers and consumers, providing a comfortable extended stay experience at an
affordable cost to build.
The latest generation of the MainStay Suites prototype builds on the success of its predecessors by
offering the guest a unique residential environment. The variety of room types (queen, king, double
queen and one-bedroom suite) allows each hotel to offer the best, market appropriate mix of room
types. Every MainStay Suites guestroom provides guests with the luxuries of home including a sleeper
sofa, work/dining table, 32 flat panel television with premium cable service, walk-in dressing area and
closet, pillow-top mattress and free high-speed internet access. The fully-equipped kitchens contain full-size
refrigerator/freezers, ceramic glass cooktops, built-in microwaves, coffeemakers, dishes and cookware.
Several attractive interior dcor schemes are available at no additional charge to the franchisee.
The hotel exterior has been refined to present a classic residential appearance. The efficient and compact
building footprint creates shorter public corridors and many desirable corner rooms with two windows to
provide cross ventilation and more natural light. The warm and inviting interior design focuses on guest
comfort and convenience and includes a comfortable community room with big screen television and
internet nook, complimentary continental breakfast bar, fitness center, guest laundry facilities and the
MainStay Marketplace, a market offering food and sundries for sale.
The MainStay Suites prototype is a 97- room, 4-story, wood frame building. Economical to develop, it is
sized to fit on approximatelely 1.5 acres. Three floor plan design options make it easy to adapt to specific
market and site conditions.
This brochure contains complete prototype layouts including sample site plans, three floor plan options,
exterior elevations with four color options and enlarged guestroom layouts.
Choice Hotels International has developed an exceptional set of resources, operational systems and
marketing programs to help you develop and maintain the best hotel for your unique needs. We offer
project development assistance at no additional charge to the franchisee
through our design, project management and construction observation
services. For more information, visit ChoiceHotelsFranchise.com.
