Offering Summary

Constructed in 1973, the two-story Hotel is situated on approximately 1.7 acres and encompasses 30,464 square feet of gross building area. The Property features an efficient physical layout and is supported by 113 on-site parking spaces, accommodating both transient highway travelers and destination-driven guests. As an economy, limited-service asset, the Hotel offers a streamlined amenity package designed to meet the needs of cost-conscious travelers, including high-speed internet access, public-access Wi-Fi, smoke-free rooms, a patio area, and an outdoor pool. The Econolodge brand affiliation and limited-service operating model provide appeal to owner-operators and investors seeking lower operating complexity and predictable demand.

Strategically located along Interstate 35 in Northeast San Antonio, the Property enjoys strong regional accessibility for travelers entering and exiting the city, as well as proximity to several of San Antonio’s most important demand generators. The Hotel is approximately 9 miles from Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA), one of the largest military installations in the United States, supporting consistent lodging demand from military personnel, civilian staff, contractors, trainees, and visiting family members. Over 250,000 visitor passes are issued for military graduations and daily entries each year. Healthcare demand is anchored by Methodist Hospital Northeast, located 4.9 miles away, which historically operated approximately 240 beds and is undergoing a $146 million expansion that will add 78 additional beds. Educational institutions further strengthen year-round lodging demand. The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), with an enrollment of approximately 38,200 students as of Fall 2025, is located 18.2 miles away and contributes demand from family visits, weekend events, graduations, athletics, conferences, and short-term academic stays. Continued growth in higher education enrollment across the region, combined with San Antonio’s sustained population expansion, supports long-term demand fundamentals for limited-service hotels. The Property is also well positioned to capture leisure and family-oriented visitation. Morgan’s Wonderland, a nationally recognized, family-friendly and fully accessible theme park, is located just 1.5 miles from the Hotel and serves as a consistent draw for out-of-town visitors. Additional major attractions include San Antonio Zoo (10.6 miles), Japanese Tea Garden (11.3 miles) and The Alamo (11.5 miles).

San Antonio is one of the fastest-growing major metropolitan areas in Texas with a metro area population exceeding 2.7 million residents. Ongoing investment in healthcare infrastructure—highlighted by the $146 million expansion of Methodist Hospital Northeast—and continued population growth on the city’s northeastern side underscore the long-term viability of lodging assets in this metro area. In addition to healthcare, major employment sectors supporting the metro’s dynamic economy include government, education, manufacturing, and finance. Joint Base San Antonio, the metro’s leading employer, supports over 86,000 local jobs. Other top employers include H.E.B., City of San Antonio, United Services Automobile Association and University of Texas Health Science. San Antonio serves as the intersection between Interstates 10, 35, 37, and 410. As a result, the city is easily accessible from other major metros in Texas like Austin and Houston.
