Suzanne Mellen, Senior Managing Director of HVS, discusses the services HVS provides to the hospitality industry and her areas of expertise. HVS is a hospitality consulting firm providing valuations, appraisals and market studies to hotels and casinos.

"HVS is a full service consulting firm to the hospitality industry and our primary service is providing valuations, appraisals and market feasibility studies for existing and proposed hotels (and also casinos – that's one of my areas of expertise). I'm Senior Managing Director heading up the L.A., Las Vegas and San Francisco offices. We have quite a diversified practice, actually. We do studies recommending facilities and products for people when they are looking to develop hotels. We run financial projections for them and tell them what we think it's going to be worth once they've completed the process. We value hotels for all sorts of purposes – for financing, transactions, litigation, property tax appeal, purchase price allegations. There are all sorts of different reasons that people give us a call. We do damage calculations when people are trying to quantify how they've been impacted by certain events in their hotel investments, and general advisory work."
