Red Roof announces new NextGen™ properties
Red Roof proudly announces the opening of two properties showcasing its "NextGen™" product concept. Red Roof Locust Grove, GA, opened its doors on 4/15/09, premiering the first NextGen™ room types, and in late August 2009, Beaumont, TX opened as the first NextGen™ hotel.
While the NextGen™ concept still provides cost-effective economy lodging, this new format offers baths with granite countertops, vessel sinks, rain-flow showers; wireless internet; flat-screen TV's with auto-sensing remote jack packs; spacious workspaces with ergonomic seating; Love-you-LinensTM plus bedding and Smart-by-Design(R) amenities.
The NextGen™ prototype is extremely popular with builders and developers as well, because it delivers mid-scale appeal without mid-scale building costs for developers.
