Built in 2005, it sits on 6.55 acres with direct access to NC-24 (17,000 Vehicles Per Day) and US-701 (15,000 Vehicles Per Day). The asset is offered with fee simple interest, unencumbered by debt, and unencumbered by third-party management.

Clinton, North Carolina serves as the county seat of Sampson County and occupies a strategic position between several of the state’s major population and economic centers. Situated along key transportation routes connecting the Research Triangle, Fayetteville, and Wilmington, the city benefits from steady transient, commercial, and government travel throughout the region. Major employers supporting consistent lodging demand include Sampson Regional Medical Center (146 beds, 600 employees) and Prestage Farms, one of North Carolina’s largest agribusinesses with more than 2,000 employees statewide. Additional demand stems from Sampson County Schools and Sampson Community College, which together serve over 10,000 students and staff, as well as frequent visitors to the Sampson County Agri-Exposition Center. Clinton’s historic downtown, anchored by over 180 local businesses, hosts popular annual events such as the Court Square Street Fair, Christmas in the City, and Alive After Five concert series, while nearby attractions like the Sampson County History Museum and Timberlake Golf Club further contribute to the area’s leisure appeal.

The Inn at Clinton is a wood-frame structure built on a concrete block foundation, with guestrooms equipped with microwaves, refrigerators, and complimentary high-speed WiFi. The property features free parking, daily breakfast, an outdoor pool, a 24-hour front desk, and a full fire sprinkler system, supporting a comfortable guest experience and efficient operations. A full roof replacement in 2025 significantly extends the building’s useful life and reduces near-term capital needs, positioning the property for continued stability.

Operating independent of a franchise, the hotel has performed well versus its’ branded competitors, as referenced by a neighboring STR Report (The Inn at Clinton is not a member of STR reporting). Despite not being exposed to a national franchise company’s rewards and loyalty programs, The Inn at Clinton achieved RevPAR exceeding $1.16 million in 2024 with a RevPAR of approximately $64.69. This should show the resilience of the market as it demonstrates that an investor can A) choose to operate profitably with strong NOI margins without the burden of franchise fees, or B) consider committing to a national franchise or available soft-brand in the market to capture even more market share from competing assets.

The property offers a clear opportunity for value creation through targeted renovations and upgrades, including refreshing guestrooms, modernizing public areas, and enhancing exterior appeal. Investors also have the flexibility to maintain the property as an independent hotel or pursue national franchise affiliation, broadening distribution and capturing additional market share.

Importantly, The Inn at Clinton operates in a market with limited direct competition, with only a handful of branded hotels serving the area, most of which are exterior-corridor assets. This scarcity of comparable inventory creates strong pricing power and supports above-average rate growth relative to nearby markets such as Fayetteville or Goldsboro, where hotel performance is constrained by higher supply and lower negotiated-rate ceilings. The Inn’s interior-corridor design and convenient highway location position it as one of the most desirable lodging options in the Clinton market.

In addition, Colliers is concurrently marketing the adjacent Comfort Inn Clinton, a 50-room Choice-branded property located next door. Both hotels may be acquired individually or as a portfolio, offering investors the opportunity to control a significant portion of the Clinton market. The Inn at Clinton performs strongly on its own, providing a well-located, consistently performing asset with stability, in-place cash flow, and meaningful upside through strategic enhancements.
