Baymont by Wyndham Hotel in Lakeland, FL Sold

DSH Hotel Advisors announced that Dennis S. Hopper, CCIM, Managing Principal of the firm, Randy B. Taylor, Senior Vice President Investments, and Dylan N. Amin, Vice President Investments, arranged the sale of the 67-room, interior-corridor Baymont by Wyndham in Lakeland, Florida for an undisclosed price on July 11, 2023. DSH Hotel Advisors represented the seller, Prestige Yenugonda Holdings, LLC, and the buyer, Lakeland Maruti Hotels, LLC.

DSH Hotel Advisors held the exclusive listing with the seller, generating 310+ signed Confidentiality Agreements from qualified buyers and created a multi-offer environment, receiving 27 offers from buyers throughout the country and internationally.

"Hotel owners and investors have realized that our team of professionals are delivering some of the best results in the marketplace, and when it is time to sell (or buy), they are connecting with us. This is the second hotel in Lakeland that we've sold in the last couple of weeks – the other hotel was the Sleep Inn & Suites – right down the street from the Baymont (0.1 miles away) – where we collected 24 offers. We're continuing to experience significant demand for hotel assets in Florida, and we expect to have several properties coming up for sale to help service this demand." says Hopper.

"We've sold five hotels in Florida over the last 30 days and are looking forward to many more. The location for this Baymont is strong with high visibility from I-4. Hotels along the Interstate 4 corridor continue to benefit from the growth surrounding Tampa & Orlando. We believe the buyer, Maruti Hotels, Inc., will be highly successful at this location and unlock the property's true potential through renovations." says Taylor.

"The I-4 corridor remains a hotspot for our buyers. We have been receiving an overwhelming amount of interest in properties like this, and despite market conditions, plenty of buyers are out there, eager to deploy capital. The number of offers (27) and registered confidentiality agreements (310+) speaks for itself; DSH Hotel Advisors continues to capture the attention of buyers from across the country and drive strong market pricing during tough economic times." says Amin.

The Baymont by Wyndham in Lakeland is located between Tampa and Orlando directly off of Interstate 4, a main east-west thoroughfare through central Florida, providing high visibility and accessibility and situating the site near multiple diverse demand generators in both Tampa and Orlando and surrounding areas. The hotel has been well-maintained and recent renovations include new paint, bedding, and furniture in the guest rooms as well as updates to the public areas.
