So a typical STR isn't really a hotel/motel/inn.

The hard point with an adaptive reuse is when you need to incorporate the appropriate staff for the extended stay hotel angle you need the property setup (reservation desk, offices, etc...), additionally there is a marketing aspect to target the people who would be utilizing the short term stay yet longer than you would with a traditional extended stay hotel. 

Condotels that allow short term rentals, are considered to be non-warrantable condos for the single fact amongst a few others, that they are transient in nature, similar to a hotel.

Hotels still account for 85% of all total stays.After all of the buzz the last couple of years, one would have thought that STRs took over half of the market share, and according to the headlines that is about to come crashing down.Jamie Lane, Chief Economist of AirDNA recently spoke to this on a podcast.
