March 4, 2010 --- HVS Hotel Management has launched a new service that helps hotel investors, lenders and servicers quickly comprehend a hotel�s current situation to determine how best to move forward with that property. Called the Hotel Situation AnalysisSM, this service goes beyond the appraisal to deliver specific insights and analysis. 

Through an on-site assessment, HVS Hotel Management provides operations, revenue and expense insights, guest service and quality evaluations, and potential alerts to unexpected issues. The result is a thorough, yet fast report that includes recommendations to maximize asset value. Even in cases where there is limited access to a property due to operator issues, the Hotel Situation Analysis provides the actionable information to guide a decision maker�s next steps. 

�Our Hotel Situation Analysis is the ideal cost-effective, time-efficient solution when you need to quickly understand a property�s challenges and opportunities,� says HVS Hotel Management Co-President Kirby Payne, CHA.

�It�s clear we�ve identified a marketplace need judging from the immediate interest in this service,� says HVS Hotel Management Co-President Terry Bickhardt, CHSP. �In fact, we already have success stories to share.�
