6 Hospitality, parent
of Motel 6 and Studio
6, recently joined
the Texas Hotel & Lodging
Association to expand a
statewide coalition on
advocacy, public safety and
market growth for its Texas
franchisees. Also, G6 and
Galaxy Hotels Group are now
expanding the Motel 6 and
Studio 6 footprint in the U.S.
with 10 Galaxy-managed
hotels, totaling more than
1,300 rooms with more to
follow.
The company brings an
economy-brand perspective
to discussions that influence
policy, operations and guest
experience across the state.
The two will co-host
workshops, forums and
tech showcases to support
market education, best-
practice sharing and talent
development statewide, the duo said in
a statement.
“As we join THLA, our goal is to
contribute to a stronger Texas lodging
ecosystem—advocating smart policy,
elevating safety and guest experience
and providing collaborative learning
opportunities for our franchisees and
employees statewide,” said Sonal Sinha,
G6 Hospitality's CEO. “We’re proud
to add our voice and scale to THLA’s
efforts while equipping our franchisees
with Texas-specific resources to
operate confidently and grow.”
The company will support discussions
on competition, consumer protection,
tourism promotion and workforce
initiatives for independent and branded
hotels, the statement said. OYO CEO
Ritesh Agarwal is chair of G6 Hospitality.
“G6 Hospitality’s membership
strengthens our initiatives that help
advance Texas hotels," said Scott Joslove,
THLA's president and CEO. "Their
reach in the economy segment brings
valuable insights to policy development,
workforce initiatives and community
safety programs that benefit properties
in every market and price point."
THLA works with state and local
leaders to promote business growth,
protect consumers, and support hotels
with legal guidance, policy insights
and education, the statement said. The
association will provide Texas-specific
compliance and operations training for
G6 owners and teams alongside G6’s
standards.
G6 and Galaxy
expansion
G6 brands consistently outperform
others in guest satisfaction and value,
said Galaxy, which rejoined the G6
network after a short break. Texas-
based Galaxy was founded in 1999 and
led by CEO Jagmohan “Jag” Dhillon,
operates more than 41 hotels in the U.S.
“This partnership marks a new
chapter in our mission to deliver
modern, value-driven hospitality, as
we now proudly rejoin G6 Hospitality,"
said Carlos Cuevas, Galaxy Hotels' COO.
"Having previously moved from Choice
Group/Park Inn by Radisson, we’ve
closely compared the performance of
various franchises. Our experience and
data show that G6 brands consistently
outperform others in guest satisfaction
and value. This is why we’re back."
Recent additions include Studio 6
Suites Las Vegas with 308 rooms, Motel
6 Las Vegas – I-15 Stadium with 139
rooms and Motel 6 Las Vegas – Boulder
Highway with 160 rooms, the companies
said. Studio 6 Suites Las Vegas on the
Strip, with more than 300 rooms, will
be one of the largest Studio 6 hotels in
the U.S., while Motel 6 Las Vegas is also
near the Strip and Allegiant Stadium.
The portfolio also includes Motel 6
hotels in Modesto, San Jose and Santa
Rosa, California and Lakewood, Fort
Collins, Thornton and Colorado Springs,
Colorado.
