Bed Breakfast Small Hotel for Colorado Innkeepers
Running a B&B or small hotel in Colorado means reservation calendars, occupancy and ADR that track together, and breakfast supplies that reorder themselves.
Regulatory framework
Colorado Residential Landlord Tenant Act. No statewide rent control (pre-empted since 2019 repeal). Just Cause Eviction proposals in play in some cities. Denver's STR ordinance restricts non-primary-residence rentals.
Economic context
Median household income $84,900. Top industries: aerospace, telecom, energy, cannabis (legal market), tourism. Colorado's flat income tax is moderate.
Tax load
Income tax: 4.4% flat. Sales tax: 2.9% state (+local).
Landlord/tenant summary
Neutral to landlord-friendly at state level; Denver adds tenant-protection layers.
Operator notes
Property tax rates among lowest in US (~0.5% effective). Cash flow potential strong for buy-and-hold.

A small inn runs on room nights and food cost. The margin lives in the difference between what you paid the vendor and what you charged the guest. This workbook holds the room rate card, the reservation calendar, a guest CRM for repeat bookings, and a breakfast food-cost tab that tracks the actual plate cost by menu item. The monthly P&L ties it all together.
