Some are even staying in hotels paying $300-500/night for many months while they wait.

Now my partner and I are looking into purchasing a small hotel.

Own two townhomes between VCU and the Jefferson Hotel.

(Think hotel businesses.)So, this weeks Tuesday Tip is to understand what those substantial services are so you can determine if the juice is worth the squeeze when deciding what level of service you will provide at your STR.

A 4 bedroom structure in your backyard (so assuming there is at least a single family structure on the property) w/o kitchen or common areas (is that what I'm understanding) starts to look like a "hotel" to me. 

Thank you Andrew, so I did read about the whole ordeal they have with considering airbnbs hotels and their minimum 7 night stay etc.

Most people coming to Hinesville for work will likely stay in a hotel if they are using the Defense Travel System to book their travel.

Hi @Alison Pidgeon - I'm a fan of offering king beds generally for my STRs because it feels more luxurious and more like a hotel—even in a small room.

The hotels are full or nearly full. 

Condo-hotels do, but their monthly maintenance fees are super high.
