Description

Connolly Investments, as the exclusive representative of ownership, is pleased to present the Best Western Gardendale, a 59-key interior corridor hotel located within the Birmingham–Hoover MSA. Situated on 2.08 acres, the offering includes the real estate, building, and operations, providing a stabilized turn-key investment opportunity. 

Fully renovated in 2020 with minimal anticipated change-of-ownership PIP, the hotel has consistently generated $1.2M+ in annual revenue over the past four years and demonstrates strong performance within its competitive set. Positioned as the only hotel on the west side of I-65—a major corridor connecting Birmingham and Nashville—the property benefits from excellent visibility and accessibility while maintaining privacy and seclusion from highway traffic.

 With only three hotels in Gardendale, the Best Western enjoys limited local competition and steady demand supported by multiple nearby corporate, leisure, and event generators such as University of Alabama at Birmingham (12.4 mi), Birmingham Jefferson Convention Complex (11.5 mi), Samford University (18.9 mi), and Princeton Baptist Medical Center (21 mi).

The manageable key count makes it ideal for an owner-operator or regional investor seeking entry into a growing southeastern market. With year-over-year RevPAR growth consistent with national trends and additional upside potential through strategic rate optimization and expense efficiencies, this stabilized and recently renovated asset presents a rare opportunity to acquire a high-performing, well-positioned hotel in a dynamic and growing market.
