Too soon? Nah, the verdict is in, people don’t care about chain hotels 🏆 Our guests just want a super clean room, amazingly friendly team, and a great value. 

The lead up to May last year was tough…operating as a ghost hotel until we could officially launch as Hotel Pommier, but once we did, our community and guests showed up!!

But remember revenue does not equal profit!

Just because you have duct tape, doesn’t mean you use it for this! And how many guest wifi networks do ya’ll need!? I’d say 1, but this motel was going the extra mile with 4 random options (only 1 worked!). 

First two months have felt like a whirlwind but we are knocking out improvements every day. 

My biggest pet peeve was how the wifi, security camera, and phone equipment was sprawled all over the top shelf. Super dusty mess of cables. And a power strip literally plugged into another power strip 💀. 

Will do a final dress up at the end, but cables are better organized on a rack all plugged into a battery backup. We slashed our insane phone bill by porting the number and getting rid of so many unused lines. Both dryers will be scrapped and the brand new one should come around Feb. I want to conserve cash by holding off on the 2nd dryer until we get busy. And our team has hit the ground running in their new roles!

Now we venture into the unknown. My family had experience running two hotels, my mom ran one and my dad ran the other. But with them fully retired (and finally vacationing!) this will be the first time we manage 3 locations. Not only that, but all of them (soon to be) operating as our own brand: Hotel Pommier

So many other wins that happened throughout the year, from retaining and growing our awesome team to overcoming roadblocks during the Chariton renovation. 

Thanks for supporting us, it means a ton and keeps us motivated to push forward!

2025 has been one of our best years yet, from a successful launch of our 2nd hotel, to acquiring our 3rd hotel within a few months of that. Multiple live TV appearances, and an unbelievable amount of support from you guys! 🙏

Genuinely excited for everything 2026 has to offer for us and for Iowa,  thanks for being part of our journey.

Merry Christmas!🎄

I’ve never bought a hotel before, let alone one that didn’t have any employees. The manager lived onsite and was going to leave as soon as we took over. So how did we hire employees for a business we didn’t even own yet? Honestly I’m not sure but our Manager Kate is awesome and we have a good track record taking care of our team.

Got some really funny comments about how $925k doesn’t get you that far in other parts of the country. 

May seem like pennies for the upper class, but it’s no joke when you have to get a loan that is personally guaranteed! And who wants to live in a NY closet anyways? 😂

How about those multi-color building lights! It’s still feels weird recording stuff happening around the hotel but doing my best to give everyone a real look into what it takes to turn a hotel around. 

Throwing shade at chain hotels is icing in the cake.

We’ve hit the ground running since we bought our 3rd location. After hiring new amazing staff, our Indianola team came in to show them the ropes.

We’re implementing as much back-end changes as we can to boost our bottom line before we start renovations in February 2026.

Drop us a follow to see if we can turn our 3rd hotel into an Indie success like our past 2!🔥

Wait so you don’t own the domain?? I knew tons of stuff needed to be fixed before I bought the hotel. It’s kind of what we do! But after we got the keys we uncovered items the previous owners didn’t quite nail down. And things I should have figured out during due diligence.

In any case, we think we have a good understanding of why this hotel was underperforming. In our next post, we’ll show you how we are already taking steps to improve!

Location #3 is locked in. But will we be able to do it?

We’re implementing our latest tech, staff and standards to turn this hotel around, before we start renovating early 2026 ⚒️

🫣 those aqua cabinets!  With 2 locations under our belt, we’ve gained a ton of experience. Of course, renovating a hotel is never smooth sailing, but I’m positive we can turn this place around! 

No doubt there will be plenty of wins, setbacks, and mistakes along the journey, and we’re going to share all of them!

Let’s go Hotel Pommier Winterset!
