The Dakota

PRICE IMPROVEMENT

The Dakota is currently operated as an extended-stay hotel catering to long-term guests. Featuring 98 rooms (+ a manager’s apartment), a well-appointed water park, and an excellent location. The Dakota appeals to both transient/leisure and corporate travelers. A buyer could choose to operate it as an independent property or leverage one of the newer mid-scale brands from Hilton, IHG, and many others. Spark by Hilton has expressed interest, offering a potential opportunity to reposition the hotel under the sought after Hilton family of brands.

With a history of generating $1.9 million in revenue under a previous owner, the opportunity to purchase and renovate the hotel at a value well below replacement cost presents a compelling investment strategy. This is further supported by the market’s Mid-scale REVPAR of $52. In the greater Sioux Falls market, REVPAR has increased by 3.1%, reaching $78, providing additional potential for outperformance with a strong product and successful management team.
