Our story
A family foundation.
An owner’s perspective.
Our story began in 1996 with a 15-room motel in Piketon, Ohio. Today, Drashtum Hospitality brings that same personal commitment to hotel operations, investment, and development.
We believe the best results begin with people who care. Our owner-operated approach puts partners close to the property, the team, and the guest.

About Drashtum
Hospitality is personal.
A family’s work. An owner’s commitment. A long-term perspective.
Our foundation
From fifteen rooms
to a shared vision.
Manoj Oilwala began the family’s hospitality journey in 1996 with the 15-room Town and Country Motel in Piketon, Ohio. The first franchised acquisition, Comfort Inn Piketon, followed in 2007.
That foundation continues to shape Drashtum Hospitality: know the property, support the team, and take responsibility for the guest experience. Our work brings together operations, acquisitions, finance, renovations, and development.
