Featured this quarter

How featuring works

Managers, services and tools worth a first look. Featured partners are disclosed and ranked by the same printed formula as everyone else.

How STR Select works

Free for owners and hosts. Vendors cannot pay for rank. Featured placements are labeled and never move anyone up a list.

Pick your market or category

Managers by market and town. Services and tools by job.

2

Compare published fees

Our fee index records real published rates. Where a company hides pricing, we say so.

3

Read verified reviews

LinkedIn connected, editor approved. No anonymous reviews.

4

Go direct

Every listing leads with the company's own site. No middleman, no gate.

The Fee Transparency Index

Nobody publishes what STR managers charge. So we do. Every market page carries a fee index built from managers' own pricing pages, re-checked quarterly: 2 of 16 managers evaluated publish a rate in the Poconos.

Common questions

Straight answers about how this site works.

How much does STR management cost?

Full service management typically runs 18 to 30% of gross revenue depending on market. Our fee index records each company’s published rate or its refusal to publish one, per market.

How does STR Select make money?

Disclosed featured placements and nothing else. Rankings cannot be bought. The methodology and its weights are printed for every list.

Are the reviews real?

Every review requires a connected LinkedIn profile and editor approval before it publishes, and nothing publishes until a company has at least two approved reviews. Anonymous reviews do not exist here.
