THE PATEL MOTEL STORY
A DOCUMENTARY FILM
ABOUT THE FILM
The biggest name in the hotel business isn’t Hilton, Marriott, or even Ritz - it’s Patel. South Asians own over 60% of all the hotels and motels in the United States. “The Patel Motel Story” will unravel the amazing and untold story of how three undocumented immigrants from the villages of Gujarat state in India came to America and inadvertently started an empire…
"Have you ever noticed that every motel you've ever stayed at are all owned by Indian people? Look at the name tag, "Patel." They're all from one part of India, and they're all related."
Hasan Minhaj, Comedian
