Goodnight Hotels is an international hotel chain with more than 2,000 hotels, which specializes in hotels for business travelers. It aims to offer comfort and good service for business customers at reasonable prices. As corporate customers do not normally stay over weekends, a key priority is to increase occupancy rates by filling the hotels at weekends too. The hotel chain is always looking for creative ways to do this, such as offering special weekend packages or with themed events.

 The chain wants to expand into Spain by buying some existing hotels. As the Head of the Acquisitions Department, you have been asked by the CEO to find some financially viable properties in the area of Santiago de Compostella in Galicia in northern Spain and to report back with your recommendations as to which hotel or hotels the chain should buy, if any. You have been given an approximate budget of €2.5 million but more may be available for investment if the property looks promising.

 You have found three potential hotels. Based on the raw data you have gathered below, write a report for your CEO with your recommendations to enable him to make a final decision. Make it clear what your recommendations are based on. Bear in mind, the hotel should be profitable both during the week and at weekends if possible.
