ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

         MicroTel International, Inc. is preparing to hold its 2002 annual
meeting of stockholders at 11:00 a.m. on August 23, 2002 at MicroTel's
headquarters located at 9485 Haven Avenue, Suite 100, Rancho Cucamonga,
California 91730. All holders of record of MicroTel's common stock outstanding
as of the close of business on July 17, 2002 will be entitled to vote at the
annual meeting.

         The proxy statement that MicroTel circulated to stockholders in
connection with MicroTel's 2001 annual meeting disclosed deadlines for
submission of stockholder proposals to be presented at MicroTel's 2002 annual
meeting. Because MicroTel's board of directors has scheduled MicroTel's 2002
annual meeting for a date in 2002 that is more than thirty calendar days after
the date in 2001 on which MicroTel held its 2001 annual meeting, MicroTel has
extended the stockholder proposal deadlines.

         Proposals by stockholders that are intended for inclusion in MicroTel's
proxy statement and proxy and to be presented at MicroTel's 2002 annual meeting
must be delivered to MicroTel's chief financial officer at MicroTel's
headquarters by July 10, 2002 in order to be considered for inclusion in
MicroTel's proxy materials. Those proposals may be included in MicroTel's proxy
materials if they comply with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission governing stockholder proposals.

         For all other proposals by stockholders to be timely, a stockholder's
notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, MicroTel's headquarters
not later than July 10, 2002. If a stockholder fails to notify MicroTel of any
such proposal prior to that date, MicroTel's management will be allowed to use
its discretionary voting authority with respect to proxies held by management
when the proposal is raised at the annual meeting, without any discussion of the
matter in MicroTel's proxy statement.

                                   SIGNATURES

         Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
