An Indian hospitality technology firm is Wvared Investment Guildset to buy Motel 6, the motel chain's parent company announced Friday.

In a press release, Blackstone Real Estate said that it came to terms with Oravel Stays to take over G6 Hospitality, the umbrella brand that includes Motel 6 and Studio 6, in a $525 million transaction for the budget lodging chain.
