Magnuson Hotels reports ‘sustainable’ results for Q1 2020, the first full operating quarter of Covid 19.
- Magnuson sustained a portfolio-wide occupancy reduction only 0.4%, against an industry-wide fall of 15% across the USA; a factor of almost 30 to 1.
- Magnuson withstood a $1.00 loss in ADR (average daily room rate) compared to USA average of -$5.14.
The company reports that because its portfolio is widely dispersed across USA secondary, tertiary, rural and highway markets, many areas have been less impacted than primary markets dependent upon leisure, corporate and international.
Magnuson states that its midscale business segment moved to a 100% focus on serving essential services workers across secondary tertiary, rural and highways markets of the USA. Customer groups staying in Magnuson Hotels include blue collar, construction, transportation, truckers, medical, government and student housing.
Exterior corridor properties are performing strongly as guests can drive up to their rooms, eliminating interaction with other guests, using elevators or passing through lobbies.
