Brand Conversion Allows for Greater RevPAR Capture
The previous competitive set for the Best Western was performing at a RevPAR of <$65. According to the Portland/Vancouver extended stay STR trend report, similar assets to the ESA typically achieve a RevPAR of >$110. The new ESA Premier Suites is expected to surpass the adjusted competitive set’s RevPAR, as it is the newest inventory in over a decade and has recently completed a two-year, $3.5 million renovation in June 2024.
Located in High Traffic Volume Airport Submarket
The Property highly benefits from its airport submarket location. Located seven miles away from the Portland International Airport, the Hotel captures strong and stable demand. The PDX Airport had 16.4 million passengers in the May 2024 TTM and saw an 11.3% increase in passengers in 2023 compared to the year prior. Additionally, PDX is currently undergoing a $2 billion sustainable renovation, doubling the size of its main terminal. According to Travel + Leisure magazine’s 2021 World’s Best Awards, PDX secured the #1 spot among Top 10 Domestic Airports.
