TravelCenters of America Offers Deep Discounts on Motel Rooms to Promote New Online Reservation Option

WESTLAKE, Ohio--Feb. 9, 2004--TravelCenters of America (TA) is offering overnight stays in its quality motels for only $29.95 to travelers who reserve their rooms through the TA web site (www.tatravelcenters.com).

TA will offer the reduced rates for a limited time to invite customers to experience for themselves how easy and convenient it is to make room reservations online. TA recently added the online reservation capability to its Web site as part of its overall goal of making highway travel as convenient as possible.

"Many of our customers already use the TA Web site to find our locations or to check things like weather conditions and fuel prices," said Greg Belisle, TA gasoline and motel manager. "Now they'll be able to reserve a room while they're at it, and save themselves the extra step of having to call to make a reservation."

Many TA locations feature well-known and trusted names in lodging, including Best Value Inn, Days Inn, Daystop, Howard Johnson, Knights Inn, Rodeway Inn, Super 8 and Travelodge.

Rooms can be reserved on the TA secure server by clicking on a link on the TA home page at www.tatravelcenters.com.

TA offers one-stop shopping for all highway travelers. Amenities typically include a fast-food court featuring nationally known brands for a quick bite to eat, full-service restaurants for a relaxing meal, and convenience stores with fresh food-to-go and thousands of items geared to the road warrior. For professional drivers, TA serves as a "home away from home" with a top-notch service department and some of the newest, cleanest showers around.
