Based on our research and interviews with local demand generators and other market participants, our analysis indicates that an upper-midscale limited-service hotel best represents the type, cost, amenities and price point best suited to the current and near-term lodging demand identified in the market. Our analysis indicates that it would cost approximately $9,100,000 to develop a 90-room upper- midscale limited-service hotel and the property should produce an unleveraged Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 14.4%. This return is considered reasonable based on accepted market returns for similar hotel investments. If after your review you have any questions or require additional information, please feel free to contact us. Respectfully submitted, Shamrock Capital Robert P. Hill J.
