Canadian motel market
Canadian motels run from $1.5 million to $8 million. Branded flags include Super 8, Days Inn, and Travelodge. Many properties are owner-operated. Highway visibility, room count, and parking decide most of the value.
Buying a motel
Buyers look at occupancy, average daily rate, room count, and the lender's read on the property. CMHC financing is available for some deals. We help you assess the property and structure the offer.
Selling a motel
Motel sales take 6 to 12 months on average. Buyers want clear bookings data, a clean STR (Smith Travel Research) record, and a transferable franchise agreement where applicable.
Common mistakes motel buyers make
- Skipping environmental due diligence on older roadside properties
- Buying a flagged motel without modelling the upcoming PIP
- Underestimating the staffing required for 24/7 desk coverage
