ATLANTA & WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hunter Hotels announced today that it advised the owner on the sale of the Comfort Suites in Manassas, Va., in suburban Washington, D.C. Hunter represented a national special servicer as the seller of the 138-guest suite hotel to a regional multi-property owner.

“As the hotel economy strengthens, we see more and better properties coming to market in all of our seven offices nationwide. We are currently seeing a flurry of activity from hotel owners who want to complete sales before any potential changes take place in tax rates”

Lee Hunter, chief operating officer of Hunter Hotels, led the Hunter team, which included Kyle Stevenson from Hunter’s D.C. office, on the $7.3 million sale. Hunter generated nearly 20 offers for the five-story hotel which is located at 7350 Williamson Boulevard just off heavily traveled Interstate 66.
