88 Rooms + 7 Rented Apartments - Interior-Corridor Baymont Inn & Suites sitting on +/- 5.01 Acres in Cookeville, TN
Diverse Location – The hotel benefits from multiple diverse demand generators including Tennessee Tech University (a public university with over 10,000 students enrolled on the Cookeville campus), multiple industrial/distribution/manufacturing plants (see list below) and Interstate-40 (the hotel is located directly off the highway and provides easy access to Nashville [~80 miles], Chattanooga [~90 miles] and Knoxville [~100 miles]), amongst multiple other demand generators.
Unique Hotel - The hotel sits on a sprawling +/- 5.01 acre campus which includes the hotel building, as well as two additional buildings surrounding the pool which house the 7 rented-apartments. Additionally, this hotel benefits from its strategic location built up on a hill which provides the rooms scenic views of the mountainous terrain of the Cumberland Plateau. Per ownership, the hotel’s swimming pool is the largest of any competing hotel in the Cookeville area, providing the opportunity to sell day-time passes to non-hotel guests during the warmer months/Summer as an alternative income stream. The hotel’s unique layout provides the property a “resort feel” unlike many of the midscale competitors in the immediate area and within the hotel’s competitive set.
The Opportunity – Despite being interior corridor and competing with many exterior-corridor hotels, the Baymont is currently underperforming its competitive set by over $11 in RevPAR (per December 2024 STR). Being a recently renovated hotel, the property will benefit from hands-on ownership and presents a management upside opportunity. A buyer may be able to increase revenue by way of a marketing budget and updated professional pictures (pictures shown online on Wyndham, Booking and all OTA sites are outdated and do not reflect the most recent renovation). The property presents an excellent opportunity for a hands-on owner/operator as the hotel includes 7 apartments (including one 3-bedroom and three 2-bedroom apartments) any of which would be suitable for an owner to live onsite.
