Abstract:
Rising rates in full-service motels, like Holiday Inn and Ramada Inn, have created a gap between them and the lowest motel chain, Motel 6. Enter Days Inn of America, Red Roof Inn, Super 8 Motel and others to fill the gap between the high and low places. This means big profits for two North Carolina-based economy chains - Charlotte-based Econo Lodges of America and Winston-Salem-based Cricket Inn.

Abstract:
The historic Jack Tar Motel in Durham will be renovated to a boutique motel after years of decay have affected the property. What will happen to residents who have lived illegally at the Durham landmark for the last ten years is uncertain. Ronnie Sturdivant, the property’s former owner, ran a flophouse out of the hotel’s rooms, but neglected fixing many of the problems. The hotel will be the site of future businesses, a sports bar, a lounge, and 74 rooms for rent, but will not include its current tenants.

Abstract:
For many towns in the Highlands, the past was within reach. Inns making times distant tangible included Green Park, modeled after the classic mountain hostel; Snowbird Mountain, with a proximity to Joyce Kilmer Forest; and High Hampton, whose land was once part of Civil War general Wade Hampton’s estate. Other lodgings offering an experience not to be found in history books, they included Eseeola Lodge, on the National Register of Historic Places; the Weld House, with boarding house origins; and Appalachian Inn, offering home-grown meals and a bell summoning guests to dinner.

Abstract:
Defining this customer service marker was the word’s origin: acronym for “To Insure Promptness.” Highlighting its importance for employees was this knowledge: tips were the sole source of income for many hospitality industry employees until the late 1960s. Explaining its enduring importance was discussion of the standard tip rate. Underscoring its mutual value was ways it benefits servers and those served.
