I had great experiences with the hotel franchises eg Best Western, Holiday Inn Express in the Idaho and the Dakotas. Energy companies prefer to rent rooms that can be done over the Internet, a lot of them are more than happy with 10 months bookings without asking for discounts!
I think 4444 had properties in the USA.

The hampton inn in williston ND in the rare event they have a vacancy charge more than a ritz carlton. I've been looking for a limited-service franchise hotel but nobody wants to sell in the fracking areas so you have to risk a new build. Plus the east indian cartels are very competitive.

For west-coast Canadians the most favourable states in terms of cost/tax implications are arizona and nevada. California is too expensive/restrictive and washington is too similar to Vancouver in terms of vacation home, but investment wise there is some good buys in up and coming suburbs of seattle such as lynnwood.
