Lower is better for expense rows.

Rooms cost

Rooms expense POR is $77.93, second-lowest of six (set median $86.40). The seller's margin may depend on lean staffing.

Next step: Ask the seller for the rooms labor schedule and open positions.
Rate vs. occupancy

ADR is above the set median ($326.54 vs $322.40), but occupancy is 0.8 points below it (76.4% vs 77.2%).

Next step: Test an occupancy-led case. The broker case assumes rate growth from the renovation.
F&B

F&B department margin is 33.2%, above the set median of 30.1%.

Next step: Hold F&B margin flat in the base case.
Why it matters

You can’t trust a number you can’t trace.

A general AI tool sees only the files you upload. It does not know your other deals or the assets you own, and it cannot tell that two properties book payroll differently. Sloon traces every figure to its source page and maps every line to one chart of accounts, so your comparisons are like for like.

Illustrative answers on invented figures.

Is the broker's 4.5% Year-1 RevPAR growth for Hotel Ashgrove reasonable?

AI tool with the uploaded files only

Reads the offering memo you upload

The offering memo projects 4.5% RevPAR growth in Year 1, citing the planned renovation and group demand. I cannot check this against your comps or your underwriting guidelines, because I only have the uploaded file.

Sloon

Reads the memo with your firm’s other deals and assets

No. It is 2.4 points above your guideline. Your five approved comps, three you own and two you bid on or passed, grew RevPAR 1.8% to 2.6% (median 2.3%). Harrow House, which you own, grew 2.4% the year after its 2024 rooms renovation. Your guideline caps Year-1 growth at the submarket’s trailing 3-year average: 2.1%.
