Owners of limited-service economy hotel properties.
Market snapshot
These figures describe Hospitality & Hotel Properties (8.1.2), the segment that Budget & Economy Hotels sits within — not Budget & Economy Hotels on its own.
Hotel real estate is operationally intensive and classified under accommodation (NAICS 721110) rather than real-estate leasing; hotel operations are profiled under hospitality/consumer, so the property segment is not separately sized here.
