Prime Investment Properties LLC, a leading hospitality brokerage firm and member of Hotel Brokers International, is proud to announce the exclusive listing of the Days Inn by Wyndham Wheatland, located at 109 16th Street, Wheatland, Wyoming 82201. The property is offered at $1,100,000 — $26,190 per key — and represents a compelling turnkey franchise investment in one of Wyoming’s most strategically positioned lodging markets.
The Days Inn by Wyndham Wheatland is a 42-room, two-story, exterior-corridor hotel spanning 22,333 square feet on a 1.30-acre commercial parcel. Originally built in 1963 and operating under the globally recognized Days Inn franchise, the property has undergone a comprehensive renovation under Wyndham’s prestigious “New Dawn” Property Improvement Plan (PIP) — now fully complete. Substantial capital improvements have been invested since 2024, including new furniture by Dixon Furniture, Interia Hospitality beds, brand-new vinyl flooring, new curtains, upgraded exterior lighting, commercial-grade Maytag washers and dryers, a new PMS system, interior paint, tub refinishing, parking lot striping, and an array of contractor-completed upgrades. The result is a hotel that looks, feels, and operates like a significantly newer asset.
Location is one of this asset’s most compelling attributes. The hotel sits just off Interstate 25 with easy, highly visible access for transient travelers, truck drivers, and regional tourists — one of Wyoming’s primary north–south corridors connecting Cheyenne to Casper and beyond. The property benefits from prime frontage traffic, strong brand recognition through Wyndham Hotels & Resorts’ global distribution platform, and a loyal base of repeat guests who depend on the I-25 corridor for business and leisure travel alike.
Adding further appeal for investors, the property sits within a designated Federal Opportunity Zone — a significant tax advantage for qualified investors seeking capital gains deferral and potential tax-free appreciation. At $26,190 per key, this asset is priced attractively and offers exceptional entry value for both first-time hospitality buyers and seasoned investors seeking a Wyndham-flagged property with low carrying costs and an extremely low tax burden of just $122.71 per room annually.
“The Days Inn Wheatland is the kind of listing that checks every box for a hospitality investor: a nationally recognized Wyndham flag, a freshly completed PIP, an unbeatable I-25 location, an Opportunity Zone designation, and a price point that makes the numbers work from day one,” said Dan Emert, Managing Principal, Prime Investment Properties LLC. He continued, “Wheatland is a steady, dependable market — it’s not a flash-in-the-pan destination, it’s a proven corridor town with consistent transient demand. For a buyer looking to step into a fully renovated, brand-compliant franchise hotel without the headache of a capital improvement backlog, this is a rare and exciting opportunity.”
The I-25 Corridor/Casper submarket encompasses over 2.08 million available room nights annually. While demand has softened modestly in the near term — a dynamic reflected across much of Wyoming — the structural fundamentals underpinning lodging demand along I-25 remain intact: energy sector workforce movements, government and military traffic, agricultural commerce, and consistent leisure travel tied to Wyoming’s world-class outdoor attractions. With a current submarket occupancy of 51.8% and an ADR of $107.66, this asset is well-positioned to outperform peers given its freshly renovated condition and strong Wyndham brand backing.
Wheatland’s population is projected to grow 5.09% through 2029 within a 1-mile radius, with household growth tracking at 5.29% over the same period — a steady upward trend that supports sustained lodging demand for new ownership.
A variety of wind-farm, mining, power plant, and railroad projects are expected to bring additional long-term workers and extended stay guests over the next few years.
