From Run-Down Motel to $3K Nights: The Rex Hotel’s Remarkable Transformation

The Rex Hotel started as an old, neglected motel in 2020.

Three years later, it’s thriving, bringing in over 3K per night.

How’s it going? In a word: remarkable.

Here’s what we’ve learned along the way:

🚀 Bigger isn’t always better - Small, well-run properties can outperform larger ones when done right.

🛌 Consistency beats flash - Guests return for reliable amenities, not just quirky extras.

📡 Tech is a game-changer - With the right systems in place, we can live anywhere while staying connected to staff and guests.

📍 Opportunity is everywhere - The U.S. is full of overlooked motels that, with vision and effort, can become unforgettable destinations.

The Rex is proof of what’s possible with creativity, execution, and a clear focus.

Follow along to see how this small property has become a powerhouse—and how you can do the same.

❤️ First, we renovated an old motel and turned it into a 5-star boutique hotel. Then, we built a glampground (Ferncrest) in the beautiful mountain town of Promised Land, PA. Now? We just opened our first Ferncrest franchise in Flint Creek, Oklahoma!
