The new Motel 6 App will make it convenient for Android users to search and book rooms at more than 1,100 locations in the United States and Canada.
“We have seen success with the introduction of the Motel 6 App for iPhone, with over 25,000 downloads since its launch in June,” said Jim Amorosia, CEO of Motel 6 and Studio 6. “Given Android-s market share dominance in mobile app downloads and high penetration among Motel 6 guests, we have very positive expectations for the new Motel 6 app in both download volume and revenue generation.”
