RECENT MOMENTUM
Q1 2026 results demonstrate meaningful acceleration. Occupancy rose to 74.2%, up from 56.6% in Q1 2025 — a 31.1% year-over-year improvement. Hotel revenue for Q1 2026 reached $261,093 compared to $189,758 in Q1 2025, a 37.6% increase.

This upward trajectory positions the property for continued improvement through the seasonally stronger summer travel months.
COMPETITIVE SET PERFORMANCE

This level of outperformance across all three indexes reflects strong brand recognition, a loyal guest base, and an effective rate strategy relative to the local market.
