The Situation

A non-performing national brand hotel property with asbestos located in Sacramento, California.

How We Advised

As State Court Receiver, we successfully achieved a loan recovery for the lender.  The Receivership Sale eliminated any future environmental liability risk for the lender that could have resulted from a foreclosure.

Upon taking possession of the property, as we:

  • Stabilized and managed all hotel operations, including food and beverage.
  • Hired and oversaw a general manager.
  • Updated and managed all reservation systems.
  • Collected all income and paid all property-related expenses.
  • Delivered detailed property-related accounting to the court and creditors on a regular basis.
  • Worked to stabilize property and improve RevPAR.
  • Hired a third-party sales agent and approved and directed all marketing activity.
  • Reviewed and selected buyers and negotiated all purchase contracts with the buyer.
  • Coordinated all legal processes required to achieve court approval of the sale.
  • Coordinated all escrow and title requirements to successfully close the sale.

Our key actions leading to operating improvements and a successful sale of the property included:

  • Worked with the national brand to preserve and transfer the franchise agreement
  • Kept the property open by managing it to positive net cash flow, preserving its value for a sale.
  • Identified a qualified agent from outside the market
  • Successfully transferred the property via a court-approved process.
