Even though Days Inn is an American brand, the Chinese properties would likely be virtually unrecognizable to brand loyalists from the good ol' US of A. In fact, of the 25 Days Inn, Days Hotel or Days Hotel and Suites properties in China, the guests are mostly not American, anyway: the ratio of Chinese guests to Westerners is around 20 to 1.
And that stat means the owners have to cater to Chinese tastes so the differences between a Chinese Days Inn and the one you've been to in Scranton, PA don't end with appearances alone:
Among other things, Chinese travelers don’t look for plush beds. “We have to make them hard,” [a Chinese Days Inn franchisee] said, “and if I served just a continental breakfast, like they do in the U.S., I’d be in big trouble.”
Oh, no worries on the breakfasts. We think we'd be down for walking to the closest fancy McD's instead of going for the hotel breakfast anyway.
