Definition

Originally defined as a hotel without restaurant or banquet facilities, the services and amenities offered to guests of limited-service hotels are typically simple (such as offering complimentary continental breakfast). However, these services and amenities have expanded over the past decade, and in today’s market, a limited-service hotel’s range of amenities might include a business center, a fitness room, a guest laundry facility, a market pantry, an indoor and/or outdoor pool and whirlpool, and small meeting rooms.

Overview

Select or Limited Service hotels have rooms-only operations, (i.e. without food-and-beverage service) or offer a bedroom and bathroom for the night, but very few other services and amenities. These hotels are often in the budget or economy group and do not report food-and-beverage revenue. This segment has been the fastest-growing hotel segment over the past 20 years due to consumer drive for affordable accommodations that still offer the necessary or most frequently utilized creature comforts of the full-service hotel.

One of the appeals of select or limited service hotels is ease and relative simplicity of development, generally incorporating fewer rooms (<200) and fewer ancillary spaces making them less expensive and more efficient from a developer standpoint. In addition, the lack of restaurant facilities makes these properties easier to run for owner/operators and improves net operating income.

Investor Style

Investors without restaurant experience should find select service properties to be a more attractive option, minimizing the challenge of operations by eliminating the major Food & Beverage (F&B) component of the full-service property type. These properties are well suited for absentee owners utilizing professional management as well as hands-on owner/operators.
