WELCOME INNS OF America is launching a restructured membership model, updated pricing and expanded benefits for independent hoteliers. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office registered the Welcome Inns of America trademark logo, part of the company’s plan for national growth and conversions.
The 2026 changes include simplified onboarding, transparent fees and marketing support, while preserving operational freedom and brand identity, Welcome Inns said in a statement. Membership is open only to U.S. hotels.
Urban Park Hotels introduced Welcome Inns of America in January 2025 as a membership-based hotel and motel brand for the economy segment that offers franchise benefits without long-term commitments, upfront costs, ongoing fees or strict mandates.
Jay Patel and John Parkin launched the Urban Park Hotel Collection in 2020 for small hotel owners dissatisfied with the franchise system and introduced Urban Park Motel in 2022 for small motel owners.
