    Asset Assessment

    Independent operational and market review of the collateral. Is this hotel worth saving, repositioning, or disposing of? We evaluate physical condition, competitive position, brand fit, and realistic performance potential — not just the trailing financials.

  • ii.
    Borrower Evaluation

    Separating the asset problem from the operator problem — critical before deciding on a workout path. A struggling hotel under a capable operator calls for a different remedy than a sound asset under a struggling one.

  • iii.
    Workout Strategy

    Deed-in-lieu, note sale, receivership, brand or management change — we help structure the right path given the asset's reality, balancing recovery value against time and execution risk.

  • iv.
    Receivership Support

    Expert hospitality advisor to the receiver or the court — providing operational grounding through the process, from interim management oversight to reporting.

  • v.
    Disposition Readiness

    If you're selling the note or the asset, we help prepare it — diligence packaging, asset positioning, and buyer-facing materials built for a faster, cleaner close.

Why MCL for CMBS
Most special servicers don't have hospitality depth in-house.

Hotels are operationally complex collateral. A room count and an STR report don't tell you whether the management team is the problem, whether the flag is right for the market, or what a realistic stabilization timeline looks like.

MCL speaks both languages — the real estate finance side and the operator side — which is rare. That's the gap we fill.
