The Perfect Location: Salter Path, North Carolina
To bring this high-octane renovation series to life, the show needed a location that was more than just picturesque—it had to be practical, too. Enter Salter Path, a quaint, beachy island nestled off the coast of North Carolina. This small, serene community provided not just one, but two hotels in need of a major facelift.
Salter Path is known for its laid-back vibes and stunning ocean views, making it an ideal spot for tourists. However, with Brian and Mika’s teams working their magic, this quiet island could soon become a bustling hotspot for vacationers.
The Hotels: William & Garland Motel vs. The Beacon Hotel
The challenge was straightforward yet daunting: renovate two entire hotels in just 100 days. Mika, armed with her own team of HGTV all-stars, took on the William & Garland Motel. Brian, on the other hand, was tasked with transforming The Beacon Hotel. Both hotels offered unique challenges and opportunities, but only one team would come out on top.
The choice of Salter Path wasn’t just about finding two hotels in need of some TLC. The island’s coastal charm and potential to draw tourists played a significant role in the selection. The idea was not only to renovate but to breathe new life into these establishments, ultimately turning them into prime vacation destinations.

A Star-Studded HGTV Event
What sets 100 Day Hotel Challenge apart from other renovation shows is the sheer star power involved. Both Brian and Mika are joined by a roster of HGTV’s finest. Brian’s team includes Bryan and Sarah Baeumler, Carmeon Hamilton, Cristy Lee, Poonam Moore, Denese and Mike Butler, and Michael Smith Boyd. On Mika’s side, you’ll find Galey Alix, Grace Mitchell, Jonathan Knight, Kristina Crestin, Kim Wolfe, Kim Myles, Lauren Makk, and Scott McGillivray.
With so much talent on board, it’s no wonder the series feels like an HGTV all-star event. The teams bring their A-game, transforming these hotels into stunning vacation spots—all under the pressure of a ticking clock.
A New Kind of Challenge
Fans of the Kleinschmidts will immediately notice that this series differs from their previous work on 100 Day Dream Home Challenge. For one, they’re no longer working together; instead, they’re squaring off against each other. Plus, the stakes are higher with entire hotels on the line, not just single-family homes.
Another major difference? The location. While their previous projects were mostly centered around their home base in Tampa, Florida, this time, they’ve taken on the challenge in the scenic setting of Salter Path. This shift in location brings a fresh dynamic to the show, making it feel both exciting and unpredictable.
The Final Verdict
In the end, only one team can win, and the ultimate decision lies with none other than the Property Brothers, Drew and Jonathan Scott. Their expert eye and seasoned judgment will determine which hotel transformation reigns supreme.
But regardless of who takes home the victory, the true winner might just be Salter Path itself, now on the map as a must-visit destination for HGTV fans and beachgoers alike. With the 100 Day Hotel Challenge, Brian and Mika Kleinschmidt have once again proven that they can turn even the most ambitious renovation projects into reality—one that viewers won’t want to miss.
