Built in 1973, this economy Hotel features 94 guest rooms across two stories, situated on 1.69 acres with 25,409 square feet of gross building area. The Hotel offers essential value-oriented amenities including public-access WiFi, smoke-free rooms, and an outdoor pool. The Hotel’s simple and efficient operating structure makes the Property attractive to both owner-operators and investors seeking predictable cash flow in a high-demand trade corridor. The Property’s direct frontage along San Bernardo Avenue provides excellent visibility and access to restaurants, retail centers, and key transportation arteries throughout Laredo.
The Property also benefits from proximity to major hospitals including Laredo Medical Center (4.2 miles; 326 beds) and Doctors Hospital (5.7 miles; 835 employees; 8,289 annual surgeries), which generate steady medical-related stays from traveling nurses, physicians, specialized clinicians, patient families, and training conference attendees. Located just 10.5 miles from the property, Port Laredo is the largest inland port in the United States, supporting year-round lodging demand from truck drivers, logistics crews, customs brokers, freight coordinators, and visiting executives. Additionally, ongoing expansion of the World Trade Bridge (2026–2028) and new presidential permits for additional cross-border bridge infrastructure are expected to further increase long-term commercial travel activity. Higher education institutions also contribute additional recurring demand, including Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) (9.6 miles) and Laredo College (5.1 miles). With a combined enrollment of over 20,000 students, these institutions support lodging from visitors, prospective students, academic programs, and family travel tied to commencements and athletics. Retail and event-driven demand is anchored by Mall del Norte (1.1 miles), one of the region’s largest retail centers, and Sames Auto Arena (4.9 miles), which hosts concerts, sporting events, conventions, and shows generating significant weekend occupancy. Recreational visitors frequent Lake Casa Blanca State Park (6.3 miles), a boating, hiking, and fishing destination drawing local families and regional day-trippers.
Positioned directly on the U.S.-Mexico border, Laredo is one of the most culturally distinctive cities in the Southwest. As a major international gateway, the city offers exceptional accessibility via Interstate 35, U.S. Highway 59, U.S. Highway 83, Texas Highway 359, and the Laredo International Airport. With nearly 4,000 hotel rooms, the hospitality market is well-positioned to support robust visitor activity driven by international commerce, heritage tourism, and year-round events. Laredo also features a broad array of attractions, including the Republic of the Rio Grande Museum, Lake Casa Blanca International State Park, Dos Laredos Park, the Imaginarium of South Texas, San Augustin Plaza, and the Historic District. Moreover, Laredo’s celebrated events calendar includes the Washington’s Birthday Celebration, the Laredo International Sister Cities Festival, the Laredo Birding Festival, and the Laredo Coffee Festival, drawing regional and international audiences.
