HVS Brokerage & Advisory, in conjunction with Eric Vincent Guerrero, officially presents an opportunity to acquire the 41-key Days Inn by Wyndham Eunice. The hotel has consistently grown over the past few years, making it an excellent investment for first-time owners/operators or regional investors/companies looking to expand their portfolios.
The property boasts 41 guestrooms, including 39 rentable rooms. Two of these rooms have been designed as a manager’s apartment, complete with a kitchen and laundry facility, providing an ideal setup for an owner visiting from out of state. Despite absentee ownership, the hotel has demonstrated strong gross operating profit (GOP) margins, averaging 42.6% over the last three years. This performance indicates potential opportunities for further improvement, such as reduced room and administrative expenses, which could enhance GOP margins.
The Days Inn by Wyndham Eunice is the only economy-scale branded hotel in the city. This status provides a potential investor with the opportunity to capitalize on its strong market positioning. After completing the change-of-ownership property improvement plan (PIP), this property is poised to become the market-leading economy-scale hotel in the region, offering a competitive edge over higher-segment hotels in the city.
The hotel has maintained a stable top-line performance, averaging $457,000 over the past three years, peaking at $567,000 in 2021. In the last year, the hotel achieved $483,000 in room revenue, with a RevPAR of $32. According to the December 2024 STR report, the hotel’s RevPAR increased by 12.6% in 2024.
The hotel’s room revenue in 2025 is projected to exceed $525,000, with a projected RevPAR of $36 and an NOI flow-through of $190,000. The 8.25% increase in room revenue is a conservative estimate, considering the hotel’s current year-to-date performance, which is 50% higher than the same period last year.
At the $1,700,000 pricing guidance, the hotel asset underwrites to a 3.26x rooms revenue multiplier (RRM) based on the February 2025 trailing twelve-month rooms revenue: $520,000. An investor also has the unique opportunity to acquire both the Days Inn Eunice and the Best Western Eunice, creating operational efficiencies and market dominance in the city.
The property is strategically located along U.S. Highway 190 in Eunice. The regional economy is primarily driven by sectors such as healthcare, education, energy, food processing/packaging, distribution, and manufacturing. Louisiana State University Eunice (LSUE) significantly contributes to the local economy and lodging demand with various events throughout the academic year.
Furthermore, Louisiana’s expanding oil and gas industry and energy sector continue to stimulate demand for workforce housing and accommodations, benefiting hotel operators with higher occupancy rates from contractors, engineers, and corporate travelers. This surge in demand is evident in the 51.9% increase in room revenue in February 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. These developments will continue driving economic growth and lodging demand through at least 2030 in Louisiana.
