HOUSTON, TX, September 25, 2025: HVS Brokerage & Advisory announces the sale of the 83-key Hampton Inn by Hilton Ruston, located at 1315 North Trenton Street, Ruston, Louisiana 71270.
The property, built in 1997, was purchased by BH28 Holding LLC, based in Monroe, Louisiana, from Mercury Hospitality, based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Deane Bruner, President of Mercury Hospitality, commented, "It was a privilege to work with Matt, Eric, and the HVS Brokerage team on the sale of our hotel. From the outset, the team kept us well informed on every aspect of the marketing effort, from organizing due diligence materials to communicating buyer engagement and coordinating with title and brand. Their consistent updates and thoughtful guidance throughout the process led to a successful closing. We look forward to seeing the buyer’s continued success with this property.”
The property is strategically located at the Trenton Street/U.S. Highway 167 Exit along Interstate 20 (I-20), a highly developed thoroughfare in Ruston with excellent access and visibility. It benefits from various demand drivers, including Louisiana Tech University, Thomas Assembly Center, Joe Aillet Stadium, Northern Louisiana Medical Center, North Park Mall, the Ruston Sports Complex, and the Dixie Center for the Arts. Additionally, major developments projected to fuel economic growth and boost lodging demand in Ruston include the new Buc-ee’s, expected to open by year-end 2026; WestRock’s $97-million paper mill expansion; JPMorgan Chase’s new, $31-million operations center; and Meta’s $10-billion AI data center project, scheduled for completion in 2030.
"Our team was excited to work alongside Deane and his group on the successful sale of this hotel. Through our extensive marketing process, we generated significant buyer interest and multiple competitive offers, ultimately securing a well-qualified purchaser. This transaction underscores the continued strength of hotel demand across Louisiana and reinforces the value of an experienced brokerage team to create a competitive bidding environment, identify the right buyer, and navigate the deal seamlessly from listing to closing," said Matt Almy, Senior Associate of HVS Brokerage & Advisory.
HVS Brokerage & Advisory team members Eric Guererro, Andrew Frosch, Matt Almy, Kyle Peterek, Fadi Rawashdeh, and Daneen Godinet participated in this transaction.
