“These deals had quite a lot of variety.  Two were refinances, while the other two were acquisitions that involved significant capital improvements and rebranding of the flags.  

"One involved a leasehold mortgage where the land was held in a common law TIC dating back to 1966.  

"The lenders included two CMBS lenders, a hedge fund and a bank.  There was however one common theme that unified these deals.

  In all cases, Linchris’ track record of providing the highest level of service to their customers while operating their hotels to an exceptional profit margin was the compelling feature that made these transactions a success,” said LaBine.

“We were ecstatic with the funding that HFF was able to procure.  They succeeded beyond our expectations,” added Glenn Gistis, chief financial officer of Linchris Hotel Corp.
