The Holiday Inn Express Mount Vernon consists of 70 rooms and benefits from a variety of stable demand drivers such as higher education, tourism/leisure, and transient traffic. The hotel is located approximately 50 miles northeast of Columbus, the capital and most populous city in the state. The higher education demand generators include Kenyon College and Mount Vernon Nazarene University, which are both located less than 4 miles away from the hotel. Kenyon College has an enrollment of approximately 1,800 students and Mount Vernon Nazarene University has an enrollment of approximately 1,600 students. Key tourism and leisure demand generators include Mohican State Park, a 1,100-acre state park which offers canoeing, mountain biking, hunting, fishing, and other outdoor activities. Mohican State Park attracts over 1.5 million visitors each year.
It is expected that a prospective purchaser shall be able to retain the IHG franchise upon completion of a change-in-ownership PIP, though purchasers should consult with their franchise representative to verify the availability of the franchise. Upon the completion of the change-in-ownership PIP, a new prospective owner should expect the property to see an uptick in ADR and therefore RevPAR. As notated by the STR Report, the hotel ranked 4th of 7 hotels in its competitive set for ADR in 2022, 2023, and the preceding 12 months behind April 2024, respectively. This contributed to RevPAR penetration indices of 112% in 2022, 110% in 2023, and 111% in the trailing 12 months preceding April 2024, respectively. This is versus a competitive set of Comfort Inn Splash Harbor, Super 8 Mount Vernon, Best Western Executive Inn, Comfort Inn Mount Vernon, Quality Inn & Suites Bellville Mansfield, and The Mount Vernon Grand Hotel. After the change-in-ownership PIP is completed, the purchaser can realistically position the hotel as a leading lodging option in Mount Vernon and continue to penetrate the competitive set at a superior index.
