Case Study: Grove City Motel achieves 87.6% occupancy and increased revenue with Little Hotelier

Grove City Motel increases bookings and expands market with Little Hotelier

Grove City Motel is a friendly, old-Florida style property in Englewood, Florida with eight units and one cottage, managed by Dan Peterson and his wife since 2016. They struggled with pen-and-paper bookings and missed opportunities to fill weekday and off-season rooms, which threatened lower income and more walk-ins.

They implemented Little Hotelier for its ease of use on smartphones and tablets, minimal training and responsive support, and now treat it like “24-hour office staff” (about $119/month). After importing reservations and connecting OTAs, the couple gained real-time calendars, reporting and the ability to run last-minute specials—resulting in an 87.6% occupancy in a traditionally slow month, higher revenue, easier operations (Dan even ran the office from bed after surgery) and no need to hire extra staff.
