UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE PROPERTY

More than a room key.

Assess the asset, the operating history, and the capital required before deciding on the next move.

01

Independent motels

Flexibility in positioning and operations, with direct responsibility for marketing, guest acquisition, and service standards.

02

Flagged properties

A brand affiliation may bring reservation systems and recognition. Review franchise fees, agreements, standards, and required improvements.

03

Operational opportunities

Evaluate pricing, occupancy, expenses, management, and capital needs together. Improved performance is possible, never guaranteed.

THE LANGUAGE OF HOSPITALITY

Know what drives the business.

01 / ADR

Average Daily Rate

Room revenue ÷ rooms sold
The average rate achieved for occupied rooms over a given period.

02 / REVPAR

Revenue Per Available Room

Room revenue ÷ available room nights
Also ADR × occupancy rate for the same period. It reflects rate and occupancy together, but does not measure profit.

03 / STAR REPORT

Performance in context

A benchmarking report comparing hotel performance against a competitive set. Use it to understand relative occupancy, rate, and RevPAR.

04 / FLAG

A brand affiliation

A hotel brand may offer reservation systems, operating standards, and name recognition. Benefits come with fees and contractual obligations.

05 / REFLAGGING

Evaluate a brand change

Reflagging—or converting flags—means assessing a new affiliation to improve positioning and demand. Compare market fit, conversion costs, agreements, and potential disruption.
