History
Quality Courts began in 1939 as a standards-and-referral network; by 1981, the company was segmenting its system into brands such as Quality Royale, Quality Inn and Comfort Inn.
Choice Hotels
Choice Hotels traces its roots to Quality Courts, a referral and standards network created in 1939 by seven Florida motor-court owners. It later evolved into a franchised hotel company with a broad brand system. Choice’s official brand page cites 22 distinct brands and more than 7,400 hotel locations worldwide, while its corporate-history page states a presence in more than 40 countries and territories. The group is not positioned as a pure luxury operator: its portfolio spans upscale and collection-style hotels, midscale and upper-midscale roadside/business brands, extended-stay brands, and economy options. Within the tracked set, Ascend Collection is the more individual, boutique/resort-leaning soft-brand collection; Comfort, Quality Inn and Clarion sit closer to practical midscale and upper-midscale travel needs. Choice runs the Choice Privileges loyalty program.
