hometown suites pricing help

[joeynbgky]

I'm bidding on one of these tomorrow about 45 minutes away from me. they want a price for all rooms and hallways. Has anyone done one of these before? If you have tell me what the going rate is for these hotels. Thank you so much!

You'll be lucky to get 25 per room

That will depend on 2 factors(there are others as well). 1. Who owns the hotel. 2. Your cost of business. The other things you can more or less figure out after you look at the condition, carpet type, obstacles, etc. I've done hotels before, but I don't give them a price per room. One price for the entire thing. We had one place ask us the price per room, and we told them we do not disclose that information as we don't price by the hotel rooms(that's what they want to compare prices).

Thanks so what about the hallways? they are so long

Never give out your measurement info when you are "bidding" on anything either. Makes it harder for them to feed your info to a cheap competitor who then doesn't even have to do a walk-through.

Thanks,
Lee

10 cents a square foot, if its foreign owned it may not even be worth doing.

not to wise on a public forum what company your going to bid on either

made that mistake on ics quite a few years ago and 6 of the iicrcs finest had their business cards to the manager the next morning

it's the lurkers

 

[joeynbgky]

I would never put my real job on the forum. ITs a hotel 45 minutes away, that is "like" a hometown suites. No one would ever guess which one

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Odin's right on the money Joey, it happened to me.

You'd be surprised at the lurkers who NEVER post, and yet....

 

[joeynbgky]

I know what you mean, thats why i wish there was a search buttom feature to locate members by city and state

 

[Willy P]

I'd never disclose customer information anywhere, except with their written permission and then only to do a reference. That's a sacred trust that shouldn't be broken.

 

[joeynbgky]

Damn people, I just want some help with pricing. Not a damn lecture lol

 

[Bjorn]

[joeynbgky]

The manager that called sounded american, does that help?

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Managers of the upscale places are often American, but 85% plus of the ownership is Indian American.

Work on getting your $$/hour numbers instead of price per unit.

Just a suggestion,
Lee
