Key Property Tax Stats

U.S. hotel occupancy was 57.9%, with RevPAR around $88.97, showing softer performance versus prior periods that can affect valuations used in tax assessments.
U.S. hotel occupancy over the last 12 months was about 63.0%, ADR ~$160/room, and RevPAR ~$101/room, while hotel sales volume declined to about $20.6 billion, indicating weaker investor activity that can influence property values.
U.S. hotel transaction volumes (H1 2025) fell about 30%, reflecting a shift in investor demand and pricing that can contribute to lower valuation benchmarks.
In some markets (e.g., Texas West and San Francisco/San Mateo), hotel RevPAR remains significantly below stronger segments, signaling uneven performance that may not be reflected in current tax assessments.
Luxury hotel segments saw wide performance divergence, with cap rate spreads and valuation gaps increasing in 2025, which can impact assessed values versus market conditions.

Biggest Pain Points

Occupancy Rates Collapsed Post-COVID

Equal‑weighted hospitality (hotel) property prices fell about 5.8%, showing weaker market pricing that may not be reflected in current tax assessments.

Operating Expense Increases

Labor costs up 30–50%. Insurance doubled or tripled. Energy costs skyrocketed. Your NOI is down 40–60% from 2019 — but appraisal districts ignore this.

Hotel Valuations Are Highly Specialized

Hotels are valued using RevPAR (revenue per available room), not cap rates. Appraisers who don't understand hospitality use generic commercial cap rates, overstating your property's value.

How it Works

1. Free Hotel Property Analysis

Provide property address and room count. We analyze occupancy trends, RevPAR, and operating expenses vs. pre-COVID.

2. We Build Hospitality-Specific Case

We use actual hotel financials (STR reports, P&Ls), document occupancy and RevPAR declines, prove operating expense increases, and apply hospitality-specific valuation methods (RevPAR multiples, not cap rates).

3. We File Expert Protests

We present hotel-specific income analysis to appraisal boards, often using hospitality appraisers for large properties.

4. You Save Significantly

Average savings: $45,000/year for 100-room hotels. $150K–$300K+ for larger properties. You pay 25% only if we win.

Avoid these Common Mistakes

Not providing STR reports — STR data is the gold standard for hotel valuations. Provide it.
Not documenting operating expense increases — Labor, insurance, energy costs all increased. Prove this reduces NOI.
Using generic cap rates — Hotels are valued using RevPAR multiples, not cap rates.
Not protesting annually — Hospitality markets are evolving. Protest every year.
