Hotels (until recent years) never allowed pets and people still travelled.Not saying whether or not allowing pets is a necessary part of running a successful STR, but I wouldn't feel like it's mandatory.

Also worth taking a look at cities and metros in person, although the flight and hotel/air bnb can add up, you can generally write those costs off, and in general getting on the ground and feeling the energy of a city or market can tell you a lot about the intangibles there.  

I am in contract on a home in Daytona that is 1 minute from the hotel/main beach area. 

But apart from these things what else could I add to give my guest almost like a hotel feel.

Hey All,Does anyone have a formula/process for price per door when looking at a hotel to apartment conversion project?

Anyone doing hotel/hostel investing?

Not a ton of STRs and all the hotels were full.

I am not sure as I have not done business in Fort Lauderdale but I assume he talking about licensing with the state DBPR - division of hotels and restaurants. 

I heard of a hotel that places little signs under the beds that read, "Yes, we cleaned here, too!"

I'm now planning on growing via small hotel/motel projects and overlooked  non-hospitality commercial.
