For hotel buyers
Know a Hotel’s Numbers Before You Call the Owner
The records that point management companies to struggling hotels work for buyers too. See years of a hotel’s revenue against similar hotels nearby, who owns it, and what it owes in property taxes, whether or not it’s for sale.
Owner details and past-due taxes come from county records, where a county publishes them.

Performance
Years of Revenue, Not a Snapshot
Every quarter a hotel has filed, going back years, sits against the range for similar hotels nearby. You can see whether it trailed its peers for one bad quarter or for years running, whether it ever got back to where it was before the pandemic, and whether the latest monthly filings show a fresh drop.

Ownership
Who Owns It and Where They Get Their Mail
Wherever the county publishes its records, you get the owner on the property record and the mailing address the county has for them. The people behind the LLC come from the state’s business records, when those records name them.
Filter to owners who live outside the metro, and when you’re ready to call, ask for a phone number and email, where one is on file, with Do Not Call flags beside the number.

Distress
Past-Due Taxes, Revenue Drops, and Closures
On the record as Owes back taxes
Past-due property taxes and the amount owed, in counties that publish them.
On the record as Revenue just dropped
A sharp drop in revenue, picked up from the monthly filings.
On the record as Stopped filing
A hotel that stopped filing, and whether the state has confirmed it closed.
On the record as Closed or empty
Hotels that look closed or empty stay out of your list until you ask for them, because an empty building is a different kind of deal.
Coverage
What Hotel Trace Covers
Hotel Trace focuses on hotels big enough to carry a management contract, so the smallest motels aren’t in it. Each market reaches past the city into its outer counties:
