What is an express hotel?

The concept of Express Hotel (budget hotel) originated in the United States in 1980s, and was only introduced to China in recent two years. Economical hotels are characterized by simplified functions, focusing service functions on accommodation, striving for perfection in this core service, and at the same time greatly compressing, simplifying or even canceling functions such as catering, shopping and entertainment, thus greatly reducing operating costs.

The so-called budget hotel refers to the small and medium-sized hotels that target business people, leisure and tourist guests of small and medium-sized enterprises, and the house price is around 100-200 yuan. In the process of choosing a hotel, consumers no longer consider how luxurious the lobby is and how complete the supporting functions are, but first consider whether the location is convenient, followed by whether it is clean and quiet, whether the bed is comfortable and whether the service is timely.

For people who travel abroad, the cost of big hotels is too high, and the hygiene and service of small hotels are not satisfactory. People urgently need clean, cheap hotels that can provide basic services, so economic chain hotels came into being.
