Hotel New Construction Q's

Hi All, 

Looking at a hotel development and building out a model. Greatly appreciate any feedback on the following:

- How do I determine how many keys I can fit? 

- How efficient are the rooms? IE. if I can build 100,000 GSF, should I assume 70-75% efficient so I can get 70,000 NSF and lets say rooms are 200 SF I can get 350 keys? I know there will be other amenity/common space etc, but just for BOE math.

- Any VERY rough idea on hard/soft costs? Will be in Nashville. 

- This will not be luxury but will either be select service, or maybe one step above similar to like a moxy or hard rock.

- How do the management contracts work, as I will not be operating. What % do they normally take?

- What do operating expense ratio's look like?

- Rough occupancy projections?

Appreciate it.
