Answer
Your question is good, and I wish I could give you an easy answer.

Most of the revenue generating ideas you are looking for are available at www.aprinda.com

It's on-line and will take you 14-20 hours to review, but probably well worth it if you are looking to purhcase a motel.  Actually, it's a must before you make such a significant purchase.

Bottom line is REVPAR.  Which stands for revenue per available room.  The answers to generating revpar are at www.aprinda.com or possibly ecornell.com
