Hotel Loans in Chambersburg, PA for a Guest Shuttle Van, Floor-Care Machines and Front-Desk Software

A hotel that offers guests rides to dinner, events or appointments may want a passenger van of its own. In an invented case, a Chambersburg, PA hotel orders a 12-passenger van with its name applied as a wrap, an invented $47,900 on the dealer invoice.

At an invented 8.85% annual rate over 60 months on equipment financing, the invented van costs $990.84 a month; the 60 payments total $59,450.40, which puts the invented interest at $11,550.40. A partner may hold the title as collateral.

The driver's wages, the insurance and the fuel come out of the hotel's operations and are not part of the van request.

Hallway carpet and lobby tile need machines heavier than a housekeeping vacuum. In an invented case, a Franklin County, PA motel finds a used carpet extractor and a used walk-behind floor scrubber at a cleaning-equipment dealer, an invented $9,780 for both.

• Pump, vacuum motor and spray jets on the extractor
• Squeegee, brushes and pad driver on the scrubber
• Battery age and charger on a battery scrubber, or the cord and plug on a corded one
• Hour meters and any dealer service records

Financed at an invented 12.1% annual rate over 30 months, the invented $9,780 pair costs $379.42 a month, and the 30 payments total $11,382.60, or $1,602.60 of invented interest.

Pads, brushes and cleaning solution are supplies the motel keeps buying as it goes, outside the machine request.

Property management software, which runs reservations, check-in and the room ledger, may be billed once a year. In an invented case, a Chambersburg, PA hotel's annual software invoice comes to $6,940.

A subscription leaves nothing behind to hold as collateral, so it is an operating cost. As a working capital loan at an invented 14.6% annual rate over nine months, the invented $6,940 costs $818.78 a month; the nine payments total $7,369.02, with $429.02 of it invented interest.

New front-desk computers and card readers bought with the software are equipment and can go on a separate equipment request, priced on their own quote.

If one invented hotel carried all three, its invented payments would come to $2,189.04 a month for the first nine months. The software payment then ends, leaving $1,370.26 a month for the two machine payments until the floor-care term ends at month 30.
