Exceptional value-add opportunity to own a 95-key, exterior-corridor economy hotel on 9.3 acres of prime US Highway 49 frontage in West Helena, Arkansas — just 80 minutes from Memphis.
Built in 1990, the property features a versatile room mix (46 kings, 45 double-doubles, 4 kitchenette suites), a spacious 3-bedroom on-site manager’s residence, pool, fitness center, guest laundry, and extensive truck/RV parking. The durable brick construction and recent updates (HVAC, plumbing, LED lighting, roof ≈2015) keep maintenance low, allowing focus on revenue growth.
Strong upside for an owner-operator: 2024 room revenue reached $1,145,878 at 59.9% occupancy. 2025 was impacted by absentee ownership, but 2026 YTD (through March) is already up 61% year-over-year. With renovation, professional management, and potential franchising (Super 8 by Wyndham incentives available), this asset can quickly deliver significantly higher cash flow.
Additional revenue potential includes developing the excess land for an RV park, solar farm, extended-stay units, or retail. Extremely low property taxes (less than $12,000 per year — among the lowest in the country) and strong demand from the expanding Helena Harbor port, logistics projects, $9M+ federal grants, and regional tourism make this a rare low-entry-basis opportunity in the Sunny South.
Financing is readily available — SBA and USDA lenders are interested in qualified buyers
