ATLANTA, GA, April 28, 2008. A Microtel Inn & Suites hotel has opened at 13200 International Airport Blvd., one-half mile from the Jacksonville, FL International Airport, showcasing the Microtel brand's award-winning new prototype design. The Jacksonville Airport Microtel is owned by JAX Lodging and principals Gregory and Kim Spatz of Pompano Beach, FL, and was constructed by their affiliate, United States Construction Corporation. It is managed by SKY Hospitality of Palm Harbor, FL. Microtel is the Atlanta-based award-winning chain of all-new construction, interior corridor economy/limited service hotels.

"With Jacksonville one of the fastest growing markets in Florida, we are pleased to debut Microtel's prototype design, which sets a new standard for hotel guests and defines the economy hotel of the future," said Gregory Spatz, who has extensive experience in constructing large projects including over 70 Home Depot shopping centers. "In addition, the Microtel brand has a history of success and recognition and is at the top of its category, providing guests with exceptional comfort and great value." For the sixth consecutive year, Microtel has been ranked highest in guest satisfaction among economy hotel chains in the J.D. Power and Associates 2007 North America Hotel Guest Satisfaction Index StudySM.

With the new design, the 77-room Jacksonville Airport Microtel Inn & Suites boasts a contemporary and streamlined, yet practical environment, with unexpected enhancements that guests would not ordinarily expect to find in an economy hotel. For example, all guestrooms feature a 32-inch flat-panel LCD HD television, sleek granite countertops, micro fridge and microwave (in doubles and suites), and spacious desk units equipped with easily accessible power and data ports. The hotel's bold color palette known as "Cappuccino" (one of the brand's six new palettes) integrates rich, deep colors to create a comfortable, inviting atmosphere and a consistent theme throughout. Suites, with Microtel's new signature MicroKitchenTM, are divided into four zones - with ample space to work, eat, sleep and relax.

The hotel also features the stylish new Microtel bedding known as Dream WellTM with a plush pillow-top mattress and fitted bed skirt, high quality 200-thread count white and khaki-piped linens with triple sheeting, down-like blanket, decorative top sheet, bed scarf and pillows.

The three-story Jacksonville Airport Microtel hotel offers single, double and suite accommodations, all with free local and free long distance phone calls anywhere within the continental U.S. and free WiFi; 32-inch flat-panel LCD HD television; hairdryer; coffee maker, and iron and ironing board. In addition, there is an on-site Fitness Center, Business Center, outdoor swimming pool, meeting room, and guest laundry. Guests can enjoy Microtel's new complimentary Get Up and JoeTM continental daily breakfast and 24 hr. coffee and tea. Free airport shuttle service is available.
