Overview/Strategy
Investment Strategy

Value-add hospitality. Disciplined entry basis. Technology-led operations.

We acquire distressed and under-performing Hilton, Marriott, and other branded flag limited-service hotels, stabilize them through deskless operations, and exit via refinance at CMBS-grade stabilized value. Every dollar of return begins with disciplined entry.

Acquisition Criteria

What we buy, and what we don’t.

The hotel must be a Hilton, Marriott, and other branded flag limited-service property, located in one of our target MSAs, exhibiting operational distress that can be remediated without structural intervention, and priced below replacement cost.

  • Brands: Hilton, Marriott, and other flags
  • MSA: Atlanta · Charleston WV · Kansas City · Phoenix
  • Size: 80–130 keys
  • Basis: Below replacement cost; 60–75% of stabilized value
  • Structural: PIP-compliant within 18 months; no ground-up rebuild
  • Hold: 3–5 year target to refinance

Operational Edge

The deskless stack.

Our competitive moat is a repeatable, technology-led operating model. HotelKey PEP as the cloud-native PMS replaces legacy front-office systems; Virdee self-service kiosks remove dependency on 24/7 front-desk staffing. Both are configured and integrated by Allencrest Technology LLC.

40–60% reduction in front-desk labor versus legacy-flag operations, while improving guest satisfaction through frictionless arrival.

  • PMS: HotelKey PEP cloud platform, mobile housekeeping, rate management
  • Kiosks: Virdee self-service check-in/out, ID verification, key encoding
  • SOPs: Allencrest Technology playbook, standardized across portfolio
  • Staffing: PEO-supported; reduced headcount; concierge-style cross-training

Refinance & return

CMBS or conventional refinance at 1.25–1.35x DSCR; LP capital returned, distributable cash split per waterfall; long-term hold or disposition.

Distribution Waterfall

Aligned with investor return, then sponsor.

LPs receive 100% of distributions until capital and the 9% preferred return are returned in full. The sponsor then earns a 30% interest in all remaining distributions through a cascading waterfall structure that ensures LP capital recovery and preferred return are prioritized.
