Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue & Operations: Total revenue increased slightly by 0.3% ($0.6 million). Same-store RevPAR grew 0.2% driven by a 1.5% increase in Average Daily Rate (ADR), partially offset by a 1.3% decline in occupancy. Room revenue decreased $1.2 million due to the sale of three properties, offset by same-store growth.
- Profitability: The company reported a net loss of $5.9 million compared to a net income of $0.6 million in Q1 2025. This was primarily driven by a $3.6 million loss on write-down of assets related to two properties held for sale and increased interest expense.
- Debt Refinancing: In February 2026, the company refinanced $287.5 million of Convertible Notes (1.5% fixed rate) using a new $275 million Delayed Draw Term Loan and revolver borrowings. This increased the weighted-average interest rate to 5.57% from 4.83% at year-end 2025, contributing to higher interest expense ($20.5 million vs. $20.0 million).
- Asset Dispositions: Sold the Hilton Garden Inn - Longview, TX for $12.3 million. Entered into agreements to sell two Dallas properties (Courtyard and Residence Inn) for $19.0 million, recording a $3.6 million write-down.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

Investor Verification Checklist
- Asset Write-Downs: Verify the valuation assumptions and future sale prospects for the two Dallas properties written down by $3.6 million.
- Debt Cost Impact: Assess the long-term impact of refinancing low-cost convertible notes with higher-rate variable term loans on future AFFO.
- Occupancy Trends: Monitor the 1.3% same-store occupancy decline to determine if it is a temporary seasonal fluctuation or a structural demand issue.
- Liquidity Position: Confirm the availability of the $400 million revolver and the $275 million delayed draw term loan to fund upcoming capital expenditures and debt maturities.
- Joint Venture Alignment: Review the terms of the GIC Joint Venture debt refinancing and ensure alignment of interests regarding the 51% ownership stake.
