The app's key features allow travelers to:

• Find the nearest hotel to their current location, book a room, and navigate to the hotel using GPS functionality
• Quickly find any ABVI or CBVI in North America and view in a list or an interactive map

"We want to make it as simple and convenient as possible for consumers to do business with us. Research shows that 1 in 5 travelers in 2014 will book on their smartphone or tablet and most of those will select a hotel within 20 miles of their current location. Between the new app and our mobile website, ABVI is well positioned to make sure that customers find it easy to shop and book at its hotels," said John Burkard, Vice President of Distribution & Technology for Vantage Hospitality Group, which is the parent company of Americas Best Value Inn and Lexington by Vantage.(SM)
