Fred Roedel founded the chain in 1967 with the opening of the first Susse Chalet Motor Lodge in Nashua, New Hampshire.

Susse Chalet was contracted and developed the Navy's Bachelor Office Quarters in New London, but it turned out to be an expensive alternative for the DoD.

Grand Chalets were larger properties, while Susse Savers mostly were older two-story locations aimed at budget travelers.

The company introduced the Susse VIP reward program which featured free nights after a number of stays and extra amenities like express check-in, late check-out and continental breakfast delivered to the member's room each morning.

The acquisition also included franchise and or management agreements for 7 other Chalet Susse branded properties located in New Hampshire.
