Vantage Hospitality Group was the 12th largest hotel and hospitality company in the world.[1] Its brands include Best Value Inn and Lexington by Vantage. On September 30, 2016 Vantage Hospitality Group became a wholly owned subsidiary of Red Lion Hotels Corporation in a cash plus stock acquisition[2][3] worth up to $40 million.[4]
History
Best Value Inn chain was founded in 1999[5] and had expanded to over 1000 US properties by 2006.[6][7]
America's Best Value Inn received a Hotel Vikas diamond award in 2010 in the Best Hotel Franchisor category.[8] Hotel Vikas is a trade publication targeted to hotel CEOs.

In 2014, Vantage acquired America's Best Franchising and its brands: America's Best Inns & Suites, Country Hearth Inns & Suites, Jameson Inn, Signature Inn, and 3 Palms Hotels and Resorts.[10] As part of the acquisition, Vantage plans to restart the Signature Inn chain, which is inactive.[11]
