The property, built in 2018, was purchased by San Eloy, LLC, based in Los Angeles, California, from Opelousas Hotel Group, LLC, based in Ridgeland, Mississippi.
Sunny Desai, CEO of Opelousas Hotel Group, LLC, commented, “Matt, Andrew, and the HVS team managed a highly organized and competitive process from start to finish. They brought multiple qualified buyers to the table and ultimately helped us select a strong group that was able to close. We appreciated their clear communication and strategic execution throughout the entire transaction.”
The property is ideally located along Interstate 49, offering convenient frontage road access with strong visibility along this key interstate that connects Lafayette and Shreveport. As the parish seat and regional hub of St. Landry Parish, Opelousas benefits from a diverse economic base bolstered by healthcare, manufacturing, distribution, and energy-related industries. The parish supports oilfield services, pipeline maintenance, and industrial construction contractors who often require extended hotel stays. The presence of Acadiana Railway and a major Walmart Distribution Center facilitates freight movement and attracts consistent lodging demand from logistics staff, truckers, and visiting corporate teams. Other major demand drivers include Opelousas General Health System, Tony Chachere’s Creole Foods, Ventura Foods, and Evangeline Downs Racetrack & Casino.
“We are proud to have represented Sunny and his group in the successful sale of the Hampton Inn Opelousas. The transaction generated strong interest from buyers nationwide, resulting in a competitive process that led to the selection of a California-based 1031-exchange buyer. The deal was completed in just 77 days, reflecting both the depth of demand and the efficiency of a well-executed process for quality, branded, select-service hotel assets,” said Matt Almy, Senior Associate of HVS Brokerage & Advisory.
HVS Brokerage & Advisory team members Andrew Frosch, Matt Almy, Kyle Peterek, Fadi Rawashdeh, and Daneen Godinet participated in this transaction. Eric Vincent Guerrero, a Louisiana licensed real estate broker, served as the broker of record.
