Strategic opportunity in Vandalia, IL just minutes from I-70. Formerly operated as Jay’s Inn, this 21-room all-brick motel offers strong potential for an owner-operator, investor, or hospitality repositioning project. Closed since 2021, the property has remained maintained with power and water continuously on. Guest rooms are notably clean, and the functional layout includes a lobby/check-in area with covered drive-through overhang for guests. Large room on-site could be converted into manager’s quarters or extended-stay use. Mechanical systems are highly accessible with a full utility tunnel spanning the building. Included in the sale is a separate frontage road parcel approximately 160×90, creating additional commercial potential for expansion, parking, signage, or future development opportunities. High-visibility location near I-70 with strong value-add upside in a well-traveled corridor.
