NEARLY EIGHT IN 10 Americans plan to travel by car to their summer destination, with the majority citing the enjoyment of driving, according to a recent
survey commissioned by G6 Hospitality, parent company of the Motel 6 and Studio 6 brands. Most travelers prefer hotel stays, though they acknowledge that cost
will influence their travel plans.
The study, surveying 2,000 Americans with summer leisure plans, found that 80 percent distinguish between a "trip" and a "vacation".
"There's nothing better than cruising on the highway with the windows down, sun shining and music playing, especially when you're surrounded by your loved
ones - even those on four legs," said Julie Arrowsmith, G6 Hospitality's president and CEO. "Whether you're the planner or just along for the ride, Motel 6
and Studio 6 provide pet-friendly and affordable lodging so you can relax, enjoy the journey and focus on creating memories."
