Meyer Jabara Hotels Bolsters Its Florida Footprint
Danbury, Conn. — Meyer Jabara Hotels has established its presence in Tampa, Fla., by assuming management of the Hilton Garden Inn Tampa Northwest/Oldsmar. The 87-room property is located at 4052 Tampa Rd., just 13 miles from Tampa International Airport and within a 5-minute drive of Tampa Bay, the Oldsmar Historical Society Museum, and the world-famous Oldsmar Flea Market, the largest flea market in the South. It's our first footprint into Tampa, a market that we at Meyer Jabara Hotels have been focusing on and looking to bring more properties into , said Chas Henry, Senior VP of Business Development and Acquisitions for Meyer Jabara Hotels. The company focuses on the Southeast, with an emphasis on Florida. TheHilton Garden Inn Tampa Northwest/Oldsmar features an outdoor pool, 24-hour fitness center, and multiple dining and beverage outlets for business and leisure travelers. Guests can enjoy the conference space, meeting room, business center, and free Wi-Fi. Not to be overlooked there are cooked-to-order breakfasts and a breakfast buffet available daily at the hotel. Owner Rogatien Krecek purchased the hotel 1.5 years ago. According to Henry, Krecek was looking for a management company with the foundation and principles that Meyer Jabara Hotels has run upon — very family focused and very brand-supportive within the Hilton system. Literally within that first month of Meyer Jabara taking over, I saw a big change , Krecek said. Employee morale improved immediately. After 30 days, we could see the light at the end of the tunnel . Within 45 days, Krecek said accounts receivable fell to 50% or less of previous levels. Accounts payable, occupancy, and ADR also improved. It was a win-win at both the property level and from an owner's perspective , he added. Dressed for Success The Hilton Garden Inn Tampa Northeast/Oldsmar recently underwent a comprehensive renovation to its guestrooms and public spaces, an investment that Henry said has repositioned the property as one of the best-in-class hotels in its market. It's a high-quality hotel with a strong brand behind it that we believe is going to be very well-positioned for families and business travelers alike visiting the Tampa Bay area , Henry said. Meyer Jabara Hotels is also excited about having established a solid upscale foothold within Tampa as this market continues to grow. Tampa continues to show strong signs of recovery post-COVID , Henry said. It's one of the best performing markets in the United States, and we believe strongly that it's going to continue on that route. Tampa offers great beaches, sunny skies, and a vibrant, growing downtown . Henry added, Meyer Jabara Hotels continues to work with great ownership groups with well-located properties and strong foundational principles for third-party management across the United States.

Meyer Jabara Hotels Expands Third-Party Management Footprint Westward
Danbury, Conn. - Meyer Jabara Hotels has taken over management of the 84-room Holiday Inn Express & Suites Carson City, Nev., located at 4055 N. Carson Street. The deal marks the hotel ownership and third-party management company's second hotel in Nevada. MJH began its westward expansion in November 2024 with the acquisition of Griffin Hotel Management. Since that time, the company's portfolio has also grown into Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. It was a match made in heaven – and great timing, said Sonia Lee Sohn, co-general manager of Leeward Real Estate Investments, owner of the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Carson City. She explained that Leeward was seeking additional upside amid post-Covid market sluggishness, and the company already knew what Meyer Jabara Hotels could do. We've had first-hand experience with Meyer Jabara Hotels through its operation of a hotel we own near Syracuse, N.Y., Sohn said. It was through that partnership we first met Eric Churchill, Meyer Jabara Hotels chief operating officer. Leeward was very impressed with his specific operations know-how, along with the company's cut-to-the-chase problem-solving style. With a 48-year history of operating best-in-class hotels, Justin Jabara, president of Meyer Jabara Hotels, said the company prides itself on running third-party managed hotels as if it owns them. We've done quite well for the ownership group already, Jabara said, and we are pleased to assist them with this asset. It has allowed us to add another exceptional hotel to our portfolio and grow in the Nevada market. Great Location, Rates & Amenities The Holiday Inn Express & Suites Carson City stands just blocks away from Carson Tahoe Regional Medical Center and less than 30 miles from Reno, Nevada, and the Jewel of the Sierras, Lake Tahoe. The property welcomes corporate and leisure travelers, offering free breakfast, well-equipped fitness and business centers, and complementary lobby coffee. Additionally, hotel guests can access exclusive rates through the Carson Tahoe Hospital. Among Meyer Jabara Hotels' first tasks was finding and hiring a proven general manager. Dustin Lambert was selected to oversee the hotel. From the onset of his appointment, the hotel saw immediate improvement in occupancy, staffing, and team culture adoption. In less than two months, Jabara said, the hotel began performing quite well, as we expected. Short-term, ownership has tasked MJH with increasing market share, RevPAR, and profitability. With new competition entering the Carson City market, Sohn said, we are relying heavily on Meyer Jabara Hotels to enable us to become a leading hotel in the area, building long-term relationships with corporate clients and the Nevada government. To help the property stand out, a soon-to-be completed interior renovation will be followed by an exterior 'glowup,' which is scheduled for completion by year's end.
