Marketing Description
Discover a prime hospitality investment opportunity in the heart of the Arkansas Delta: the Quality Inn & Suites, a 63-key franchised limited-service hotel located at 1053 US Highway 49 in West Helena, AR. Built in 1995, this well-maintained property spans approximately 3.0 acres (with ~2 acres improved and ~1 acre for expansion or additional parking) and features a two-story exterior-corridor design across two buildings totaling ~25,142 SF. As the only franchised hotel in town with no direct franchised competition, it commands a dominant position in an underserved rural market, catering to transient business travelers, families, and extended-stay guests through a diverse room mix including king rooms, king suites, and double queen rooms.
Offered at $2,500,000 (approximately 2.8x the trailing four-year average revenue and $39,683 per key—well below replacement cost), this asset delivers immediate cash flow with significant value-add potential. Historically operated absentee with a full staff in place, it presents substantial upside for hands-on owner-operators through cost reductions, enhanced oversight, targeted renovations, professional revenue management, and optimized channel distribution. Recent performance shows strong recovery: room revenue averaged ~$892K annually from 2022–2024, with 2024 achieving $1,018,931 at 50.29% occupancy, $83.54 ADR, and $49.97 RevPAR. Low annual property taxes of ~$12,000 further boost NOI margins, which have ranged from 27.82% to 32.11% after add-backs.
Strategically positioned 80 minutes from Memphis and 2 hours from Little Rock, the hotel benefits from diversified demand drivers including Helena Harbor's ongoing expansions ($9M+ in grants for rail spurs, container-on-barge terminals, and industrial park development attracting 500+ jobs), major infrastructure projects (e.g., $43.9M US Hwy 49 bridge rehab and statewide water initiatives), cultural tourism (King Biscuit Blues Festival drawing 50,000+ attendees, Delta Cultural Center, and St. Francis National Forest), and agribusiness/logistics growth. Amenities include an outdoor pool, fitness center, guest laundry, breakfast area, and ample truck parking, making it ideal for a seamless transition.
Eligible for SBA 7(a) and USDA financing in a rural area (often ~20% down for qualified buyers), this is a low-entry, high-upside opportunity for investors seeking stable cash flow, market dominance, and long-term appreciation amid economic catalysts. Sold "as-is" with full staff. Call for Offers deadline: March 16, 2026. Contact Suresh Patel at 901-674-6105 to schedule a tour (do not disturb staff or ownership).
