SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- ROOM, a curated and managed collection of U.S. independent budget hotel rooms, recently won Voyager HQ's 1st Travel Pitch Competition in San Francisco. ROOM was awarded $30k in prizes by an expert panel including JetBlue Ventures, Plug n Play, and Zendesk. The company plans to offer ROOMs on major travel marketplaces including Airbnb and Expedia.
ROOM Founder and Chairman Mitch Presnick said: "We're focused on the challenge of the underperforming U.S. independent budget hotel sector. It comprises one-third of all U.S. hotel inventory and offers great rates, yet budget-minded millennial travelers rarely stay because the user experience is so outdated and unpredictable." Presnick previously founded Super 8 Hotels (China), which operates over 1100 budget hotel properties in China under master license granted by Wyndham Hotels and Resorts. Named "One of the 33 Most Influential People in Global Travel" by TravelWeekly, Presnick added: "In the age of Uber & Airbnb, it's surprising this imbalance still exists. For example, why do we still use front desks or fixed check in / check out times? ROOM will rejuvenate the independent hotel experience, for the benefit of owners and millenial guests everywhere."
