@Jonathan Greene  Thanks for the response/input.  I definitely will look into the license aspect.  Good idea about adding amenities!

@Alex S. Really it would just be to increase the bottom line.  The units in this motel have perfect views of the lake and sunset.  It's a draw in this area. My thought was to update all the units to almost a boutique/chic style/contemporary style from what it currently is now - 70's furniture - and maximize the occupancy.

@Jonathan Greene  It's not the typical shoddy motel clientele that you would think. It's actually in a great tourist area that is getting more popular/busy (almost too busy).  Agreed - It's in great condition but the rooms definitely need an upgrade.  

AirBnB would allow this type of rental, right?  If I owned the whole building I can AirBnb each unit?

Should I be concerned with any type of zoning different that what it is now?  

Sorry for all the questions - just trying to cover my bases.
Thanks!

Been searching but can't quite find what I'm looking for.  There is a open motel with 12 units that is run like a typical motel, except with someone who manages the bookings and cleaning from offsite (no main office).  Each unit is either two queens or a queen and a pullout.  No kitchen, just microwave and small fridge.

Thinking about updating all the rooms (either individual looks or all uniform) and run it as 12 airbnbs.  

Can you tell me if 1) this is something feasible, and 2) possible pros/cons as well as things I should know/ask?

Considering maybe keeping one unit as an onsite property manager if needed.  

Appreciate the help in advance!
