“Every hotel transaction presents its own unique challenges, and this sale highlighted the importance of preparation and transparency from the outset,” said Michael Klar, investment specialist with Marcus & Millichap. “Having a clear understanding of the Property Improvement Plan (PIP) requirements early in the process allowed us to establish expectations and proactively address potential obstacles.

Our team looks forward to building on this momentum and connecting with owners and investors who are considering buying, selling or exploring their options in today's market.”
Klar and Valliani, investment specialists in Marcus & Millichap’s Chicago Oak Brook office, in association with Gordon Navarre, Marcus & Millichap’s Michigan broker of record, marketed the property on behalf of the seller. The transaction received additional support from Allan Miller and Chris Gomes of the Miller-Gomes Hotel Team.
