PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS

Stable-Performing, Absentee-Owned Hilton Asset with Operational Upside

  • Built in 2018, this 80-key property would be an ideal fit for a more hands-on operator or regional investor.

  • In 2024, the hotel achieved rooms revenue of $2.05 million (rounded), registering an average RevPAR of $69.99 and a 10.4% year-over-year (YoY) increase.

  • Despite absentee ownership, rooms revenue has averaged over $2.11 million since 2021.

  • The hotel’s gross operating profit (GOP) has averaged 29.2% (vs. the market’s 35.0%–40.0%), highlighting significant upside for an engaged buyer to improve cost controls, streamline overhead expenses, and improve profit margins.

  • Assuming a more hands-on ownership and operation, we would expect the hotel’s rooms revenue to increase from $1.95 million in 2025/26 to approximately $2.3 million by the third projection year, similar to the hotel’s performance in 2021.

  • At the $7.2-million pricing guidance, the asset underwrites to a 3.58x rooms revenue multiplier (RRM) based on the hotel’s May 2025 trailing-twelve-month (TTM) rooms revenue.

Property Improvement Plan (PIP)

  • Based on a selection of similar vintage Hampton by Hilton PIP quotes, we estimate the renovation to cost approximately $1,200,000 (rounded), or $15,000 per key.

  • Post renovation, the property should reflect the market’s highest quality upper-midscale product. The hotel should be able to compete more effectively in terms of occupancy, while retaining and/or improving its ADR strength, driving meaningful RevPAR and net-operating-income (NOI) growth.

Strategic Location near Diverse Demand Generators

  • The property is strategically located near I-49, offering convenient frontage road access with strong visibility along this key interstate that connects Lafayette and Shreveport.

  • Opelousas General Health System and Arcadian Medical Center in Eunice provide steady corporate, government, and patient/visitor healthcare-related lodging demand.

  • Evangeline Downs Racetrack & Casino draws both overnight leisure stays and corporate events.

  • Opelousas is home to Tony Chachere’s Creole Foods headquarters and Ventura Foods’ production facility, both of which are major employers and bring consistent demand from vendors, corporate visitors, and equipment/service contractors.

  • The presence of Acadiana Railway and a major Walmart Distribution Center supports freight movement and attracts consistent lodging demand from logistics staff, truckers, and visiting corporate teams.

  • St. Landry Parish benefits from its proximity to South Louisiana’s energy corridor. The parish supports oilfield services, pipeline maintenance, and industrial construction contractors who often require extended hotel stays.

Active Market Developments in Opelousas

  • The $7.5-million renovation of Donald Gardner Stadium and South City Park will expand Opelousas’ capacity to host high-school football games, regional track meets, and youth tournaments, boosting year-round sports travel demand and weekend room nights.

  • The Gateway to Acadiana/I‑49 corridor development features fully open anchors, including the $12-million Our Savior’s Church, a Honda dealership, and a medical office, positioning the area for continued retail and hospitality growth.

  • A $3.3-million road improvement project on Creswell Lane and S. Union Street, within one-half mile of the property, will boost access to I‑49 and nearby corridors, bringing short-term lodging demand from construction crews and enhancing long-term connectivity for travelers.

Highly Sought-After Hilton Franchise (15-Year Franchise License Agreement)

  • Upon acquisition and franchisee approval, an investor can expect a new, 15-year franchise license agreement with Hilton.

  • The Hampton by Hilton flag is a proven brand that dominates the upper-midscale segment. Franchisees benefit from Hilton’s global strength, reputation, and unrivaled Hilton Honors™ guest loyalty program.

  • An investor will benefit from operating a franchise of one of the world’s leading global hospitality companies. Every Hilton hotel and resort benefits from the unique system of innovative solutions and advanced technologies, known as the Hilton Performance Advantage, which delivers leading-edge support to consistently drive profits and efficiencies. It is a powerful resource for owners and operators, unrivaled in the industry. Hilton Honors™ is an award-winning guest loyalty program. Its roughly 115 million members account for more than 50.0% of all room nights globally for Hilton-branded hotels.
