William Holman of the firm’s St. Louis office is the firm’s broker of record in Missouri.

            “The location of these assets and their critical mass of rooms make this transaction lucrative from a pure ‘price per key’ perspective,” says Gomes. “Rebranding is one piece of the new owner’s value-add strategy.”

            When the rebranding is complete, two of the properties will be Baymont Inn & Suites hotels and two will take the name Motel 6.

            The properties are:

·         A 136-room interior corridor hotel in the Maryland Heights suburb of St. Louis, Mo. that was built in 1987 on 2.8 acres and is accessible from Interstate 270. Features include ample outdoor parking, a vending area, an exercise room and an on-site guest laundry facility. The property was operated as a Baymont Inn & Suites until 2006.

A single-story restaurant located on the hotel’s east side is leased to a third party and operates as a Denny’s. The hotel is a 2013 TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence award winner.

·         A 134-unit mixed corridor hotel situated on 2.7 acres in Tallahassee, Fla. that is easily accessible from Highway 27, the Apalachee Parkway.

LaBerge, national director of the firm’s National Hospitality Group (NHG). “This portfolio sale brings the number of hotels sold so far in 2014 by the NHG to 39.”
