Select Service hotels have been a highly rewarding investment opportunity for decades. These assets typically offer 100-120 room-keys, and cost between $8-12 million.  Too often, these investment opportunities are limited to corporations and select individuals.

WHY INVEST IN SELECT-SERVICE HOTEL ASSETS:

Revenue Pattern: Hotel assets are easily quantified in terms of size, type, cost. The revenue pattern is predictable and relates to market trends. At EquityRoots we've been around the block to see how one particular brand or market is performing compared to another. We understand the ingredients that go into a good hotel, and we understand why hotels are winners in the real-estate game.

Centralized Reservation System: Hotel assets are quickly quantified in terms of number of rooms (keys) and other performance metrics because of centralized reservation systems and point of sale software being directly tied to the front desk. This technology and franchise standard provides for a very transparent view of actual revenues.

Management Teams: Efficient operators can really make the difference. Partnering with the right management team is just as important as the capital stack for the asset. Having a competent team with a strong sense for sales, customer service, and property upkeep can make a big difference.  EquityRoots has strong relationships with national operators that have been operating profitable hotels for decades.

Frequent Travelers: Select-Service products make money. These products offer many of the same amenities you find at full-service hotels but are nestled in more convenient corporate destinations with less overhead. They typically offer 80-120 interior corridor guest rooms with free WIFI, parking, and hot breakfast options. Select-Service hotels are designed for frequent business and leisure travelers. Today's corporate traveler will often overlook cheaper options or shopping around because they're hooked on earning loyalty points with their preferred brand. Properties with strong brand loyalty translates into higher revenues and we actively monitor this at EquityRoots.

EquityRoots is on a mission to level the playing field, and give qualified individuals who are not in a position to finance a project by themselves a unique chance to pool their capital with bigger hotel developers and other like-minded investors.  Our mission is to create flexible access to capital for well-established hoteliers and as a byproduct, create rewarding invesment opportunities for the general public here at home and abroad.
