SEPTEMBER 2, 2008. Consumers will like the outcome of at least one election this fall. Choice Hotels International, Inc.

The promotion is valid for qualifying stays at MainStay Suites, Suburban Extended Stay, Econo Lodge and Rodeway Inn brand hotels with arrival from September 1 until November 30, 2008.
