Centerstone Inns, Hotels & Plaza Hotels

This nationally franchised hotel company operates a three-segment lodging franchise model encompassing economy, mid-scale, and upper-midscale properties. The brand provides independent hotel owners a cost-effective pathway to join a recognized franchise system with multiple distinct tiers, allowing operators to align with the segment that best fits their property. Franchisees benefit from a centralized support structure, partnerships with established hospitality technology providers such as Sabre Hospitality Solutions for reservations and distribution, and access to a national brand identity.

The model is designed to be fair and accessible, particularly for independent hoteliers seeking brand affiliation without the cost burden of larger chains. The customer base spans business and leisure travelers looking for reliable mid-market accommodations. Investment requirements vary widely depending on whether the property is newly constructed or converted from an existing building.
