Super 8 Metropolis 2055 E 5th St 63 Room Hotel Metropolis, IL 62960 $3,210,616 CAD ($50,962 CAD/Room)

Super 8 by Wyndham Metropolis offers investors a strong-performing hospitality asset strategically positioned along I-24, just minutes from Harrah’s Metropolis Casino, Superman Square, and the scenic Ohio River. In addition to capturing steady tourism traffic, the hotel benefits from its close proximity to Paducah, KY — a vibrant regional hub for healthcare, river industry, logistics, and the arts. With a regional population base and a steady influx of visitors for business, conventions, and cultural events, Paducah generates year-round lodging demand that complements the tourism draw of Metropolis.
The property features 63 guest rooms in a variety of configurations, all supported by key amenities such as complimentary breakfast, high-speed Wi-Fi, and ample on-site parking. An on-site manager’s apartment provides additional convenience and flexibility for efficient day-to-day operations. As a Super 8 by Wyndham, the hotel enjoys brand recognition, access to Wyndham’s global reservation system, and participation in one of the industry’s strongest loyalty programs.
The region is home to a robust calendar of annual events that drive high occupancy and repeat business. Metropolis hosts the iconic Superman Celebration, a 4-day global fan festival with celebrity guests, costume contests, and exhibitions, putting the town on the map. The area also supports historic reenactments like the Fort Massac Encampment, art fairs, seasonal festivals, and archery events that leverage the region’s outdoor spaces. On the Paducah side, the market is energized by large regional draws such as AQS QuiltWeek (a nationally known quilt show), the Barbecue on the River festival, Oktoberfest, the McCracken County Fair, arts & music festivals, and community events like river regattas, film festivals, and holiday celebrations. Together, these events create dependable, event-driven lodging demand that complements daily interstate traffic and corporate travel.
This offering represents a rare opportunity to acquire a branded, limited-service hotel serving two complementary markets — tourism-driven Metropolis and business-driven Paducah — with a balanced revenue base supported by interstate traffic, regional employers, and a vibrant calendar of nationally recognized events.
