Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization	Organization DiamondRock Hospitality Company (the “Company” or “we”) is a lodging-focused real estate company that owns a portfolio of premium hotels and resorts. Our hotels are concentrated in key gateway cities and in destination resort locations and the majority of our hotels are operated under a brand owned by one of the leading global lodging brand companies (Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott”), Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (“Starwood”) or Hilton Worldwide (“Hilton”)). We are an owner, as opposed to an operator, of the hotels in our portfolio. As an owner, we receive all of the operating profits or losses generated by our hotels after we pay fees to the hotel managers, which are based on the revenues and profitability of the hotels. As of December 31, 2015, we owned 29 hotels with 10,928 rooms, located in the following markets: Atlanta, Georgia; Boston, Massachusetts (2); Burlington, Vermont; Charleston, South Carolina; Chicago, Illinois (2); Denver, Colorado (2); Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Fort Worth, Texas; Huntington Beach, California; Key West, Florida (2); Minneapolis, Minnesota; New York, New York (5); Orlando, Florida; Salt Lake City, Utah; San Diego, California; San Francisco, California; Sonoma, California; Washington D.C. (2); St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; and Vail, Colorado. We conduct our business through a traditional umbrella partnership real estate investment trust, or UPREIT, in which our hotel properties are owned by our operating partnership, DiamondRock Hospitality Limited Partnership, or subsidiaries of our operating partnership. The Company is the sole general partner of our operating partnership and currently owns, either directly or indirectly, all of the limited partnership units of our operating partnership.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Dec. 31, 2015
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation Our financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. If the Company determines that it has an interest in a variable interest entity within the meaning of the FASB ASC 810, Consolidation, the Company will consolidate the entity when it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the entity. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Risks and Uncertainties The state of the overall economy can significantly impact hotel operational performance and thus, impact our financial position. Should any of our hotels experience a significant decline in operational performance, it may affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and service debt or meet other financial obligations. Fair Value Measurements In evaluating fair value, GAAP outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and a reporting entity’s own assumptions about market data (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of inputs used to determine fair value, which are then classified and disclosed in one of the three categories. The three levels are as follows: •Level 1 - Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities •Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable •Level 3 - Model-derived valuations with unobservable inputs Property and Equipment Investments in hotel properties, land, land improvements, building and furniture, fixtures and equipment and identifiable intangible assets are recorded at fair value upon acquisition. Property and equipment purchased after the hotel acquisition date is recorded at cost. Replacements and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Upon the sale or retirement of a fixed asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation is removed from the Company’s accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statements of operations. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 15 to 40 years for buildings, land improvements and building improvements and 1 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the useful lives of the related assets. We review our investments in hotel properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the hotel properties may not be recoverable. Events or circumstances that may cause a review include, but are not limited to, adverse changes in the demand for lodging at the properties due to declining national or local economic conditions and/or new hotel construction in markets where the hotels are located. When such conditions exist, management performs an analysis to determine if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from operations and the proceeds from the ultimate disposition of a hotel exceed its carrying value. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to reduce the carrying amount to the related hotel’s estimated fair market value is recorded and an impairment loss is recognized. We will classify a hotel as held for sale in the period that we have made the decision to dispose of the hotel, a binding agreement to purchase the property has been signed under which the buyer has committed a significant amount of nonrefundable cash and no significant financing or other contingencies exist which could cause the transaction to not be completed in a timely manner. If these criteria are met, we will record an impairment loss if the fair value less costs to sell is lower than the carrying amount of the hotel and related assets and will cease recording depreciation expense. We will classify the assets and related liabilities as held for sale on the balance sheet. Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Revenue Recognition Revenues from operations of the hotels are recognized when the services are provided. Revenues consist of room sales, food and beverage sales and other hotel department revenues, such as telephone, parking, gift shop sales and resort fees. Income Taxes We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings during the period in which the new rate is enacted. We have elected to be treated as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, which requires that we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income annually to our stockholders and comply with certain other requirements. In addition to paying federal and state taxes on any retained income, we may be subject to taxes on “built in gains” on sales of certain assets. Our taxable REIT subsidiaries will generally be subject to federal, state, local and/or foreign income taxes. In order for the income from our hotel property investments to constitute “rents from real properties” for purposes of the gross income tests required for REIT qualification, the income we earn cannot be derived from the operation of any of our hotels. Therefore, we lease each of our hotel properties to a wholly owned subsidiary of Bloodstone TRS, Inc., our existing taxable REIT subsidiary, or TRS, except for the Frenchman’s Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort, which is owned by a Virgin Islands corporation, which we have elected to be treated as a TRS. We had no accruals for tax uncertainties as of December 31, 2015 and 2014. Intangible Assets and Liabilities Intangible assets or liabilities are recorded on non-market contracts assumed as part of the acquisition of certain hotels. We review the terms of agreements assumed in conjunction with the purchase of a hotel to determine if the terms are favorable or unfavorable compared to an estimated market agreement at the acquisition date. Favorable lease assets or unfavorable contract liabilities are recorded at the acquisition date and amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the agreement. We do not amortize intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, but we review these assets for impairment annually or at interim periods if events or circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. We recognized impairment losses totaling $10.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2015. See Note 4 in these consolidated financial statements for further discussion. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus other potentially dilutive securities such as stock grants or shares issuable in the event of conversion of operating partnership units. No adjustment is made for shares that are anti-dilutive during a period. Stock-based Compensation We account for stock-based employee compensation using the fair value based method of accounting. We record the cost of awards with service or market conditions based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. Comprehensive Income (Loss) We do not have any comprehensive income (loss) other than net income (loss). If we have any comprehensive income (loss) in future periods, such that a statement of comprehensive income would be necessary, such statement will be reported as one statement with the consolidated statement of operations. Restricted Cash Restricted cash primarily consists of reserves for replacement of furniture and fixtures held by our hotel managers and cash held in escrow pursuant to lender requirements. Deferred Financing Costs Financing costs are recorded at cost and consist of loan fees and other costs incurred in connection with the issuance of debt. Amortization of deferred financing costs is computed using a method that approximates the effective interest method over the remaining life of the debt and is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Hotel Working Capital The due from hotel managers consists of hotel level accounts receivable, periodic hotel operating distributions due to owner and prepaid and other assets held by the hotel managers on our behalf. The due to hotel managers represents liabilities incurred by the hotel on behalf of us in conjunction with the operation of our hotels which are legal obligations of the Company. Key Money Key money received in conjunction with entering into hotel management or franchise agreements or completing specific capital projects is deferred and amortized over the term of the hotel management agreement, the term of the franchise agreement, or other systematic and rational period, if appropriate. Deferred key money is classified as deferred income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and amortized as an offset to base management fees or franchise fees. Straight-Line Rental Income and Expense We record rental income and expense on leases that provide for minimum rental payments that increase in pre-established amounts over the remaining term of the lease on a straight-line basis. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of our notes receivable and cash and cash equivalents. See further discussion of our notes receivable in Note 5. We maintain cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions. We perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions and limit the amount of credit exposure with any one institution. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which primarily changes the lessee's accounting for operating leases by requiring recognition of lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the effect of the ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments, which eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, acquirers must recognize measurement-period adjustments during the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts they would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the effect of the ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but we do not believe it will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this standard will only affect the presentation of our balance sheet. Upon adoption we will reclassify deferred financing costs, net from total assets to be shown net of debt in the liabilities section of our balance sheet. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which changes the way reporting enterprises evaluate the consolidation of limited partnerships, variable interests and similar entities. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the effect of the ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but we do not believe it will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which affects virtually all aspects of an entity’s revenue recognition. The new standard sets forth five prescribed steps to determine the timing and amount of revenue to be recognized to appropriately depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which deferred the effectiveness of ASU No. 2014-09 to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and permitted early application for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We do not believe it will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Favorable Lease Assets

In connection with the acquisition of certain hotels, we have recognized intangible assets for favorable ground leases and tenant leases. Our favorable lease assets, net of accumulated amortization of $2.6 million and $3.0 million as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, consist of the following (in thousands):



	2015		2014
Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel Ground Lease	$	18,076	$	18,293
Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel Lease Right	—		9,045
Hilton Minneapolis Ground Lease	5,685		5,760
Lexington Hotel New York Tenant Leases	186		1,031
Hilton Boston Downtown Tenant Leases	8		145
	$	23,955	$	34,274

The favorable lease assets are recorded at the acquisition date and are generally amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease agreement. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, was $0.5 million, $0.7 million, and $1.0 million, respectively. Amortization expense is expected to total $0.3 million annually for 2016 through 2020.

We own a favorable lease asset related to the right to acquire a leasehold interest in a parcel of land adjacent to the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel for the development of a 320 to 350 room hotel (the “lease right”). The fair value of the lease right is a Level 3 measurement under the fair value hierarchy (see Note 2) and is derived from a discounted cash flow model using the favorable difference between the estimated participating rents or actual rents in accordance with the lease terms and the estimated market rents. For the lease right, the discount rate is estimated using a risk adjusted rate of return, the estimated participating rents are estimated based on a hypothetical hotel comparable to our Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel, and market rents are based on comparable long-term ground leases in the City of Boston. During the second quarter of 2015, we decided not to exercise the option to acquire the leasehold interest and recorded an impairment loss of $9.6 million, which includes the write-off of $0.6 million of other assets related to the lease right included within prepaid and other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

During the first quarter of 2015, we evaluated the Lexington Hotel New York favorable tenant leases for recoverability of the carrying value. The lease with one of the retail tenants at the Lexington Hotel New York was expected to terminate prior to the end of the lease term. We reviewed the favorable lease asset for impairment and concluded that the asset was not realizable and recorded an impairment loss of $0.8 million during the first quarter of 2015. The lease terminated in June 2015.

Accounts and Notes Receivable, Net [Abstract]

Notes Receivable

On May 21, 2014, we received $58.5 million for the prepayment of the senior mortgage loan secured by the 443-room Allerton Hotel in Chicago, Illinois (the "Allerton Loan"). As a result of the prepayment, we recorded a gain of $13.6 million. The Allerton Loan had an original principal balance of $66.0 million, which had a four-year term (plus a one-year extension option) and a fixed interest rate of 5.5%. Principal payments were based on a 30-year amortization schedule, but were only due to the extent there was available cash flow from operations.

We recorded the following amounts of interest income on the Allerton Loan (in thousands):



	Year Ended December 31, 2014		Year Ended December 31, 2013
Contractual interest income	$	1,317	$	3,456
Amortization of discount	1,075		2,602
Total interest income	$	2,392	$	6,058

In connection with the sale of the Oak Brook Hills Resort in 2014, we provided a $4.0 million loan to the buyer of the hotel. During 2015, we recorded a $3.9 million gain on repayment of the loan. Additional information on the loan is found in Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements.

Equity [Abstract]

Capital Stock

Common Shares

We are authorized to issue up to 400 million shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available for the payment of dividends when authorized by our board of directors.

We have an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM program”), pursuant to which we may issue and sell shares of our common stock from time to time, having an aggregate offering price of up to $200 million. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we sold 4,217,560 shares of our common stock at an average price of $15.12 for net proceeds of $63.1 million. In January 2015, we sold 524,606 shares of our common stock at an average price of $15.18 for net proceeds of $7.8 million. We have not sold any additional shares since January 2015 and there is $128.3 million remaining under the ATM program. We do not expect to utilize the program in the near term, but believe it is appropriate to have the program in place.

Our board of directors approved a share repurchase program in November 2015 authorizing us to repurchase up to $150 million in shares of our common stock. Repurchases under this program will be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions as permitted by federal securities laws and other legal requirements. This authority may be exercised from time to time and in such amounts as market conditions warrant, and subject to regulatory considerations. The timing, manner, price and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, market conditions, and other corporate liquidity requirements and priorities. The share repurchase program may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. We have not repurchased any shares of our common stock since the program started.

We have paid the following dividends to holders of our common stock for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014:



Payment Date	Record Date	Dividend per Share
April 10, 2014	March 31, 2014	$0.1025
July 10, 2014	June 30, 2014	$0.1025
October 10, 2014	September 30, 2014	$0.1025
January 12, 2015	December 31, 2014	$0.1025
April 10, 2015	March 31, 2015	$0.1250
July 14, 2015	June 30, 2015	$0.1250
October 13, 2015	September 30, 2015	$0.1250
January 12, 2016	December 31, 2015	$0.1250

Preferred Shares

We are authorized to issue up to 10 million shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. Our board of directors is required to set for each class or series of preferred stock the terms, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications, and terms or conditions of redemption. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

Operating Partnership Units

Holders of operating partnership units have certain redemption rights, which enable them to cause our operating partnership to redeem their units in exchange for cash per unit equal to the market price of our common stock, at the time of redemption, or, at our option for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the redemption rights will be adjusted upon the occurrence of stock splits, mergers, consolidations or similar pro-rata share transactions, which otherwise would have the effect of diluting the ownership interests of the limited partners or our stockholders. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no operating partnership units held by unaffiliated third parties.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for shareholders' equity comprised of portions attributable to the parent entity and noncontrolling interest, including other comprehensive income. Includes, but is not limited to, balances of common stock, preferred stock, additional paid-in capital, other capital and retained earnings, accumulated balance for each classification of other comprehensive income and amount of comprehensive income.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]

Stock Incentive Plans

We are authorized to issue up to 8,000,000 shares of our common stock under our 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Incentive Plan”), of which we have issued or committed to issue 3,924,735 shares as of December 31, 2015. In addition to these shares, additional shares of common stock could be issued in connection with the performance stock unit awards as further described below.

Restricted Stock Awards

Restricted stock awards issued to our officers and employees generally vest over a 3-year period from the date of the grant based on continued employment. We measure compensation expense for the restricted stock awards based upon the fair market value of our common stock at the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and is included in corporate expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. A summary of our restricted stock awards from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2015 is as follows:



	Number of Shares		Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested balance at January 1, 2013	676,111		$	10.10
Granted	323,526		9.33
Additional shares from dividends	1,040		9.30
Forfeited	(16,934	)	9.65
Vested	(400,722	)	9.94
Unvested balance at December 31, 2013	583,021		9.80
Granted	249,311		12.39
Forfeited	(537	)	9.32
Vested	(317,376	)	10.19
Unvested balance at December 31, 2014	514,419		10.82
Granted	216,159		14.48
Forfeited	(183	)	9.08
Vested	(255,828	)	10.39
Unvested balance at December 31, 2015	474,567		$	12.72

The remaining share awards are expected to vest as follows: 241,698 during 2016, 153,578 during 2017, and 79,291 during 2018. As of December 31, 2015, the unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards was $3.7 million and the weighted-average period over which the unrecognized compensation expense will be recorded is approximately 22 months. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, we recorded $2.8 million, $3.2 million and $3.4 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to restricted stock awards. The compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 include $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, related to the accelerated vesting of awards in connection with employee separations.

Market Stock Units

From 2010 to 2012, we awarded our executive officers market stock units (“MSUs”). MSUs are restricted stock units that vest three years from the date of grant. The actual number of shares issued to each executive officer at the vesting date is based on the Company's total shareholder return over a three-year period. In March 2015, the remaining 99,047 outstanding MSUs vested, resulting in the issuance of 148,572 shares of common stock, before income tax withholding. There are no MSUs remaining following this vesting. For the year ended December 31, 2015, we recorded less than $0.1 million of compensation expense related to MSUs. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we recorded approximately $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to MSUs. The compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 includes $0.2 million related to the accelerated vesting of awards in connection with the departure of our former President and Chief Operating Officer on May 1, 2013.

Performance Stock Units

Performance stock units ("PSUs") are restricted stock units that vest three years from the date of grant. Each executive officer is granted a target number of PSUs (the “PSU Target Award”). The actual number of shares of common stock issued to each executive officer is subject to the achievement of certain levels of total stockholder return relative to the total stockholder return of a peer group of publicly-traded lodging REITs over a three-year performance period. There will be no payout of shares of our common stock if our total stockholder return falls below the 30th percentile of the total stockholder returns of the peer group. The maximum number of shares of common stock issued to an executive officer is equal to 150% of the PSU Target Award and is earned if our total stockholder return is equal to or greater than the 75th percentile of the total stockholder returns of the peer group.

The fair values of the PSU awards are determined using a Monte Carlo simulation performed by a third-party valuation firm. The determination of the grant-date fair values of the awards granted included the following assumptions:



Award Grant Date	Volatility		Risk-Free Rate		Fair Value at Grant Date
March 3, 2013	39.2	%	0.36	%	$	9.55
May 15, 2013	37.9	%	0.40	%	$	10.41
March 3, 2014	33.5	%	0.66	%	$	12.77
May 15, 2014	33.1	%	0.80	%	$	9.88
February 27, 2015	22.9	%	1.01	%	$	12.13

A summary of our PSUs from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2015 is as follows:



	Number of Units	Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested balance at January 1, 2013	—	$	—
Granted	217,949	9.64
Additional units from dividends	5,227	10.37
Unvested balance at December 31, 2013	223,176	9.66
Granted	200,685	12.33
Additional units from dividends	12,309	12.01
Unvested balance at December 31, 2014	436,170	10.95
Granted	218,467	12.13
Additional units from dividends	21,722	13.51
Unvested balance at December 31, 2015	676,359	$	11.41

The unvested units are expected to vest as follows: 238,779 during 2016, 212,879 during 2017 and 224,701 during 2018. As of December 31, 2015, the unrecognized compensation cost related to the PSUs was $3.0 million and is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a period of 21 months. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, we recorded approximately $2.3 million, $1.4 million, and $0.6 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to the PSUs.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders that has been adjusted for dilutive securities, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding including dilutive securities.

The following is a reconciliation of the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except share and per-share data):

Mortgage Debt

We have incurred limited recourse, property specific mortgage debt secured by certain of our hotels. In the event of default, the lender may only foreclose on the pledged assets; however, in the event of fraud, misapplication of funds or other customary recourse provisions, the lender may seek payment from us. As of December 31, 2015, 12 of our 29 hotel properties were secured by mortgage debt. Our mortgage debt contains certain property specific covenants and restrictions, including minimum debt service coverage ratios that trigger “cash trap” provisions as well as restrictions on incurring additional debt without lender consent. As of December 31, 2015, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of our mortgage debt.

On April 10, 2015, we repaid the $52.6 million mortgage loan secured by the Renaissance Worthington three months prior to the scheduled maturity date. On April 14, 2015, we entered into a new $85.0 million mortgage loan secured by the Renaissance Worthington. The new loan matures in 2025 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.66%. The new loan is interest-only for the first two years, after which principal will amortize on a 30-year schedule.

On May 11, 2015, we repaid the mortgage loan secured by the Frenchman's Reef & Morning Star Beach Resort three months prior to the scheduled maturity date. The loan had an outstanding principal balance of $56.2 million and incurred interest at a fixed rate of 5.44%.

On July 1, 2015, we repaid the $38.1 million mortgage loan secured by the JW Marriott Denver at Cherry Creek and entered into a new $65.0 million mortgage loan. The new loan matures in 2025 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.33%. The new loan is interest-only for the first year, after which principal will amortize on a 30-year schedule.

On October 9, 2015, we repaid the mortgage loan secured by the Orlando Airport Marriott three months prior to the scheduled maturity date. The loan had an outstanding principal balance of $55.3 million and incurred interest at a fixed rate of 5.68%.

On October 27, 2015, we entered into a new $205.0 million mortgage loan secured by the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel. The new loan matures in 2025, bears interest at a fixed interest rate of 4.36% and amortizes principal on a 30-year schedule.

On January 11, 2016, we repaid the mortgage loan secured by the Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile three months prior to the scheduled maturity date.

Senior Unsecured Credit Facility

We are party to a $200 million unsecured credit facility, which expires in January 2017. The maturity date of the facility may be extended for an additional year upon the payment of applicable fees and the satisfaction of certain other customary conditions. We also have the right to increase the amount of the facility up to $400 million with lender approval. Interest is paid on the periodic advances under the facility at varying rates, based upon LIBOR, plus an agreed-upon additional margin amount. The applicable margin is based upon the Company’s ratio of net indebtedness to EBITDA, as follows:



Ratio of Net Indebtedness to EBITDA	Applicable Margin
Less than 4.00 to 1.00	1.75	%
Greater than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00 but less than 5.00 to 1.00	1.90	%
Greater than or equal to 5.00 to 1.00 but less than 5.50 to 1.00	2.10	%
Greater than or equal to 5.50 to 1.00 but less than 6.00 to 1.00	2.20	%
Greater than or equal to 6.00 to 1.00 but less than 6.50 to 1.00	2.50	%
Greater than or equal to 6.50 to 1.00	2.75	%

In addition to the interest payable on amounts outstanding under the facility, we are required to pay an amount equal to 0.35% of the unused portion of the facility if the unused portion of the facility is greater than 50% or 0.25% if the unused portion of the facility is less than or equal to 50%.

The facility contains various corporate financial covenants. A summary of the most restrictive covenants is as follows:



		Actual at
	Covenant	December 31, 2015
Maximum leverage ratio (1)	60%	34.7%
Minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (2)	1.50x	3.72x
Minimum tangible net worth (3)	$1.90 billion	$2.55 billion
Secured recourse indebtedness	Less than 45% of Total Asset Value	34.7%

_____________________________


(1)	Leverage ratio is total indebtedness, as defined in the credit agreement, divided by total asset value, defined in the credit agreement as a) total cash and cash equivalents and b) the value of our owned hotels based on hotel net operating income divided by a defined capitalization rate.


(2)	Fixed charge coverage ratio is Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined in the credit agreement as EBITDA less FF&E reserves, for the most recently ending 12 fiscal months, to fixed charges, which is defined in the credit agreement as interest expense, all regularly scheduled principal payments and payments on capitalized lease obligations, for the same most recently ending 12-month period.


(3)	Tangible net worth, as defined in the credit agreement, is (i) total gross book value of all assets, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, less intangible assets, total indebtedness, and all other liabilities, plus (ii) 75% of net proceeds from future equity issuances.

The facility requires us to maintain a specific pool of unencumbered borrowing base properties. The unencumbered borrowing base assets must include a minimum of five properties with an unencumbered borrowing base value, as defined in the credit agreement, of not less than $250 million. As of December 31, 2015, the unencumbered borrowing base included five properties with a borrowing base value of $307.2 million. Subsequent to December 31, 2015, we borrowed an incremental $60 million on the facility to partially fund the prepayment of the mortgage loan secured by the Chicago Marriott Downtown.

As of December 31, 2015, we had no borrowings outstanding under the facility and the Company's ratio of net indebtedness to EBITDA was 3.37x. Accordingly, interest on our borrowings under the facility will be based on LIBOR plus 175 basis points for the next fiscal quarter. We incurred interest and unused credit facility fees on the facility of $1.1 million, $0.9 million and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]

Dispositions

We had no dispositions during the year ended December 31, 2015.

2014 Dispositions

On April 14, 2014, we sold the 386-room Oak Brook Hills Resort to an unaffiliated third party for $30.1 million, including $4.0 million of seller financing. The sale meets the requirements for accounting under the full accrual method. We recorded a gain on sale of the hotel of approximately $1.3 million, net of a $4.0 million valuation allowance on the loan receivable. The loan made to the buyer is unsecured and subordinate to the buyer's senior mortgage loan. The loan matures in August 2017 and has a one year interest-only period after which the loan will amortize based on a twenty-five year schedule. The interest rate on the loan for the first year is a floating rate of LIBOR plus 650 basis points. The interest rate margin increases by 100 basis points annually for the remainder of the loan term. The loan agreement provides for possible repayment options prior to the loan's maturity, including upon full repayment of the buyer's senior mortgage loan or the hotel achieving a certain operating profit threshold prior to loan maturity.

The loan receivable and the valuation allowance are included within prepaid and other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014. Based on our estimates of the hotel’s future cash flows from operations and the fact that the note was unsecured and subordinate to the senior mortgage loan, we believed it was remote that we would collect all contractual amounts due under the loan. Accordingly, we recognized a full valuation allowance of $4.0 million. In November 2015, the hotel achieved the profit thresholds set forth and the loan was repaid in full. We recorded a gain on repayment of the loan of approximately $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, our consolidated statements of operations include $0.6 million pre-tax loss and $1.4 million pre-tax income, respectively, related to our ownership of the Oak Brook Hills Resort.

On December 18, 2014, we sold the 1,004-room Los Angeles Airport Marriott to an unaffiliated third party for a contractual purchase price of $147.5 million. We received net proceeds of approximately $158.6 million from the transaction, which included credit for the hotel's capital replacement reserve. We recognized a gain on sale of the hotel of approximately $49.7 million. In connection with the sale of the Los Angeles Airport Marriott, we executed a reverse 1031 exchange with the Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort, which was purchased on December 3, 2014. The reverse 1031 exchange has no effect on our GAAP financial reporting and does not have a material impact on our tax positions and expected tax expense.

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, our consolidated statements of operations include $54.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively, of pre-tax income related to our ownership of the Los Angeles Airport Marriott.

2013 Disposition

On November 21, 2013, we sold the 487-room Torrance Marriott South Bay to an unaffiliated third party for a contractual sales price of $74 million, recognizing a gain of $22.7 million on the sale. The operating results, as well as the gain on sale, are reported in discontinued operations on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

The following is a summary of the results of income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 (in thousands, except per-share data):



	Year Ended December 31, 2013
Hotel revenues	$	21,336

Business Combinations [Abstract]

Acquisitions

2015 Acquisitions

On February 6, 2015, we acquired the 157-room Shorebreak Hotel located in Huntington Beach, California for a purchase price of $58.8 million. Upon acquisition of the hotel, we entered into a 10-year management agreement with Kimpton Hotel and Restaurant Group, LLC. The management agreement provides for a base management fee of 1.25% of gross revenues during 2015 and 2.5% of gross revenues thereafter. The agreement also provides for an incentive management fee of 15% of hotel operating profit above an owner's priority determined in accordance with the terms of the management agreement.

We own a 95.5% undivided interest in the land underlying the hotel and lease the remaining 4.5% under a long-term ground lease, which expires in 2100, including extension options. In 2021 and at certain points thereafter, we have the option to purchase the 4.5% leasehold interest at the greater of the then current rent divided by 10% or fair market value. We reviewed the terms of the ground lease in conjunction with the hotel purchase accounting and concluded that the terms are unfavorable to us compared with a current market ground lease. As a result, we recorded a $0.3 million unfavorable lease liability. We expect to exercise the leasehold purchase option in 2021. Accordingly, the unfavorable lease liability will be amortized over the remaining term through 2021.

On June 30, 2015, we acquired the 184-suite Sheraton Suites Key West located in Key West, Florida for a purchase price of $94.4 million. The acquisition was funded with a combination of corporate cash on hand and a draw on our senior unsecured credit facility. We assumed the existing management agreement with Ocean Properties, which expires in July 2027 and provides for a base management fee of 3.0% of gross revenues and an incentive management fee of 10% of hotel operating profit above an owner's priority determined in accordance with the terms of the management agreement.

2014 Acquisitions

On August 15, 2014, we acquired the 106-room Inn at Key West located in Key West, Florida for a purchase price of $47.8 million. The acquisition was funded with corporate cash on hand. We retained the existing hotel operator, Remington Management, LP, under an interim management agreement. In September 2015, we entered into a 10-year management agreement with Noble House Hotels & Resorts to operate the hotel.

On August 29, 2014, we completed the acquisition of the newly constructed, 282-room Hilton Garden Inn Times Square Central in New York City. We had entered into the purchase and sale agreement to acquire this hotel upon its completion for a fixed purchase price of $127.2 million in early 2011. We had previously funded total purchase deposits of $26.9 million. The balance of the purchase price was funded with corporate cash on hand. The hotel opened on September 1, 2014 and is operated by Highgate Hotels, LP, subject to a franchise license agreement with Hilton Garden Inns Franchise LLC. The hotel meets the definition of a business and the acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. As such, the assets acquired were recorded at their fair values, which exceeded our contractual cost. During the three years between the date of the purchase and sale agreement and the date of acquisition, the real estate market for hotels located in Manhattan experienced an increase in valuations due to improved economic conditions in the market and the overall economy. This resulted in an increase in the fair value the hotel at the time of acquisition compared with our contractual purchase price, which resulted in a gain of approximately $23.9 million upon acquisition.

On December 3, 2014, we acquired the 432-room Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for a purchase price of $149.0 million. The acquisition was funded with a combination of corporate cash on hand and a draw on our senior unsecured credit facility. Upon acquisition of the hotel, we entered into a 10-year management agreement with HEI Hotels & Resorts and a 20-year franchise agreement with Starwood to license the hotel under the Westin brand.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in our acquisitions (in thousands):



	Shorebreak Hotel			Sheraton Suites Key West		Inn at Key West		Hilton Garden Inn Times Square Central		Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort

Acquired properties are included in our results of operations from the date of acquisition. The following pro forma financial information presents our results of operations (in thousands, except per share data) as if the hotels acquired in 2015 and 2014 were acquired on January 1, 2014 and January 1, 2013, respectively. The pro forma financial information does not include the pro forma adjustments for the Hilton Garden Inn Times Square Central because the hotel opened on September 1, 2014. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have occurred nor does it indicate future operating results.

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

We have elected to be treated as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, which requires that we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income annually to our stockholders and comply with certain other requirements. In addition to paying federal and state taxes on any retained income, we may be subject to taxes on “built in gains” on sales of certain assets. Our taxable REIT subsidiaries are subject to federal, state, local and/or foreign income taxes.

Our provision (benefit) for income taxes consists of the following (in thousands):

Income tax provision (benefit) from continuing operations	$	11,575		$	5,636		$	(1,113	)

We are required to pay franchise taxes in certain jurisdictions. We recorded approximately $0.4 million of franchise taxes during each of the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, which are classified as corporate expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards based on enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are paid. However, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be realizable based on consideration of available evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. Deferred tax assets are included in prepaid and other assets and deferred tax liabilities are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The total deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows (in thousands):



	2015			2014
Deferred income related to key money	$	8,844		$	8,636
Net operating loss carryforwards	25,210			31,178

Deferred tax liabilities	(21,044		)	(17,207		)
Deferred tax asset, net	$	13,004		$	23,280

As of December 31, 2015, we had deferred tax assets of $25.2 million consisting of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards. The federal loss carryforwards of $21.5 million generally expire in 2028 through 2034 if not utilized by then. We believe that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax asset related to federal loss carryforwards prior to their expiration and have determined that no valuation allowance is required. The state loss carryforwards of $3.7 million generally expire in 2020 through 2034 if not utilized by then. The Company analyzes state loss carryforwards on a state by state basis and records a valuation allowance when we deem it more likely than not that future results will not generate sufficient taxable income in the respective state to realize the deferred tax asset prior to the expiration of the loss carryforwards. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we recorded a $0.4 million valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset related to the Illinois state loss carryforward. The remaining deferred tax assets of $9.2 million are expected to be recovered against reversing existing taxable temporary differences.

The Frenchman's Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort is owned by a subsidiary that has elected to be treated as a TRS, and is subject to U.S. Virgin Islands ("USVI") income taxes. We were party to a tax agreement with the USVI that reduced the income tax rate to approximately 7%. This agreement expired on February 14, 2015, at which time the income tax rate increased to 37.4%. In October 2015, we were granted a 15-year extension of the tax agreement, which is retroactive to the expiration date of the prior agreement. Accordingly, the income tax expense for 2015, as well as deferred tax assets and liabilities, reflect the lower rate.

(1)	Crescent Hotels & Resorts assumed management of the hotel in September 2015. The hotel was previously managed by Hilton.


(2)	HEI Hotels & Resorts assumed management of the hotel in September 2015. The hotel was previously managed by Alliance Hospitality Management.


(3)	Noble House Hotels & Resorts assumed management of the hotel in September 2015. The hotel was previously managed by Remington Hotels.

Under our hotel management agreements, the hotel manager receives a base management fee and, if certain financial thresholds are met or exceeded, an incentive management fee. The base management fee is generally payable as a percentage of gross hotel revenues for each fiscal year. The incentive management fee is generally based on hotel operating profits, but the fee only applies to that portion of hotel operating profits above a negotiated return on our invested capital, which we refer to as the owner's priority. We refer to this excess of operating profits over the owner's priority as “available cash flow.”

The following table sets forth the base management fee, incentive management fee and FF&E reserve contribution, generally due and payable each fiscal year, for each of our properties:

(15) The base management fee decreases to 2% beginning January 1, 2017. Between April 2015 and April 2016, the base fee may be reduced if the hotel does not meet a specified operating profit threshold, subject to a floor of 1% of gross revenues.

The following is a summary of management fees from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):



	Year Ended December 31,
	2015		2014		2013
Base management fees	$	23,228	$	21,473	$	19,324

Performance Termination Provisions

Our management agreements provide us with termination rights upon a manager's failure to meet certain financial performance criteria and manager's decision not to cure the failure by making a cure payment.

Key Money

Our managers and franchisors have contributed to us certain amounts in exchange for the right to manage or franchise hotels we have acquired and in connection with the completion of certain brand enhancing capital projects. We refer to these amounts as “key money.” Key money is classified as deferred income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and amortized against management fees or franchise fees on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

During 2015, Starwood provided us with $3.0 million of key money in connection with our renovation associated with the brand conversion of the hotel formerly known as the Conrad Chicago to The Gwen, a Luxury Collection Hotel. The key money will be amortized against franchise fees over the anticipated period of the renovation--January 2016 through April 2017.

We amortized $1.0 million of key money during the year ended December 31, 2015, $1.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2014, and $2.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2013. The amortization for the year ended December 31, 2013 includes $1.1 million of key money written off as a result of the change of hotel manager of the Oak Brook Hills Resort during 2013. This key money write-off is included within other hotel expenses on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. In connection with the sale of the Los Angeles Airport Marriott on December 18, 2014, we wrote off $1.1 million of unamortized key money. The key money write-off is included within the gain on sale of hotel properties, net on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

We are subject to various claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings, including routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, regarding the operation of our hotels and Company matters. While it is not possible to ascertain the ultimate outcome of such matters, management believes that the aggregate amount of such liabilities, if any, in excess of amounts covered by insurance will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations. The outcome of claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings brought against the Company, however, is subject to significant uncertainties.

Ground Leases

Six of our hotels are subject to ground lease agreements that cover all of the land underlying the respective hotel:


•	The Bethesda Marriott Suites hotel is subject to a ground lease that runs until 2087. There are no renewal options.


•	The Courtyard Manhattan/Fifth Avenue is subject to a ground lease that runs until 2085, inclusive of one 49-year renewal option.

•

The Salt Lake City Marriott Downtown is subject to two ground leases: one ground lease covers the land under the hotel and the other ground lease covers the portion of the hotel that extends into the City Creek Project. The term of the ground lease covering the land under the hotel runs through 2056, inclusive of our renewal options, and the term of the ground lease covering the extension runs through 2017. We own a 21% interest in the land under the hotel.


•	The Westin Boston Waterfront is subject to a ground lease that runs until 2099. There are no renewal options.


•	The Hilton Minneapolis is subject to a ground lease that runs until 2091. There are no renewal options.


•	The Shorebreak Hotel is subject to a ground lease that runs until 2100, inclusive of two renewal options of 25 years each and one 24-year renewal option. We own a 95.5% undivided interest in the land underlying the hotel and lease the remaining 4.5% under the ground lease.

In addition, a portion of the parking garage relating to the Renaissance Worthington is subject to three ground leases that cover, contiguously with each other, approximately one-fourth of the land on which the parking garage is constructed. Each of the ground leases has a term that runs through July 2067, inclusive of the three 15-year renewal options. The remainder of the land on which the parking garage is constructed is owned by us in fee simple. A portion of the JW Marriott Denver at Cherry Creek is subject to a ground lease that covers approximately 5,500 square feet. The term of the ground lease runs through December 2030, inclusive of the two 5-year renewal options. The lease may be indefinitely extended thereafter in one-year increments. The remainder of the land on which the hotel is constructed is owned by us in fee simple.

These ground leases generally require us to make rental payments (including a percentage of gross receipts as percentage rent with respect to the Courtyard Manhattan/Fifth Avenue and Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel ground leases) and payments for all (or in the case of the ground lease covering the Salt Lake City Marriott Downtown extension, our tenant's share of) charges, costs, expenses, assessments and liabilities, including real property taxes and utilities. Furthermore, these ground leases generally require us to obtain and maintain insurance covering the subject property.

Ground rent expense was $15.1 million, $15.0 million and $15.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Cash paid for ground rent was $9.4 million, $8.9 million and $8.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

(1)	These terms assume our exercise of all renewal options.

(2)	Represents rent for the year ended December 31, 2015. Rent increases annually by 5.5%.

(3)	The ground lease term is 49 years. We have the right to renew the ground lease for an additional 49 year term on the same terms then applicable to the ground lease.

(4)	The total annual rent includes the fixed rent noted in the table plus a percentage rent equal to 5% of gross receipts for each lease year, but only to the extent that 5% of gross receipts exceeds the minimum fixed rent in such lease year. There was no such percentage rent earned during the year ended December 31, 2015.

(5)	We own a 21% interest in the land underlying the hotel and, as a result, 21% of the annual rent under the ground lease is paid to us by the hotel.



(6)	Total annual rent under the ground lease is capped at 2.5% of hotel gross revenues during the initial 30 years of the ground lease.

(7)	The ground lease payment and related property tax liability were negotiated as a single payment in lieu of taxes. The single payments increase at a rate of 5% per year through 2018. Beginning in 2019, there will no longer be a stipulated single payment and the hotel will pay only the real property tax portion of the initial single payment based on the then assessed valuation and applicable tax rate.

(8)	Beginning January 2031, we have the right to renew the ground lease in one-year increments at the prior year's annual rent plus 3%.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of certain financial assets and liabilities and other financial instruments as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, in thousands, are as follows:



	December 31, 2015				December 31, 2014

Debt	$	1,177,696	$	1,152,351	$	1,038,330	$	1,059,988

The fair value of our mortgage debt is a Level 2 measurement under the fair value hierarchy (see Note 2). We estimate the fair value of our mortgage debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates. The carrying value of our other financial instruments approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for the fair value of financial instruments (as defined), including financial assets and financial liabilities (collectively, as defined), and the measurements of those instruments as well as disclosures related to the fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities. Such disclosures about the financial instruments, assets, and liabilities would include: (1) the fair value of the required items together with their carrying amounts (as appropriate); (2) for items for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value, disclosure would include: (a) information pertinent to estimating fair value (including, carrying amount, effective interest rate, and maturity, and (b) the reasons why it is not practicable to estimate fair value; (3) significant concentrations of credit risk including: (a) information about the activity, region, or economic characteristics identifying a concentration, (b) the maximum amount of loss the entity is exposed to based on the gross fair value of the related item, (c) policy for requiring collateral or other security and information as to accessing such collateral or security, and (d) the nature and brief description of such collateral or security; (4) quantitative information about market risks and how such risks are managed; (5) for items measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis information regarding the inputs used to develop the fair value measurement; and (6) for items presented in the financial statement for which fair value measurement is elected: (a) information necessary to understand the reasons for the election, (b) discussion of the effect of fair value changes on earnings, (c) a description of [similar groups] items for which the election is made and the relation thereof to the balance sheet, the aggregate carrying value of items included in the balance sheet that are not eligible for the election; (7) all other required (as defined) and desired information.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Dec. 31, 2015
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Our financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. If the Company determines that it has an interest in a variable interest entity within the meaning of the FASB ASC 810, Consolidation, the Company will consolidate the entity when it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the entity.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties	Risks and Uncertainties The state of the overall economy can significantly impact hotel operational performance and thus, impact our financial position. Should any of our hotels experience a significant decline in operational performance, it may affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and service debt or meet other financial obligations.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements In evaluating fair value, GAAP outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and a reporting entity’s own assumptions about market data (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of inputs used to determine fair value, which are then classified and disclosed in one of the three categories. The three levels are as follows: •Level 1 - Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities •Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable •Level 3 - Model-derived valuations with unobservable inputs
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment Investments in hotel properties, land, land improvements, building and furniture, fixtures and equipment and identifiable intangible assets are recorded at fair value upon acquisition. Property and equipment purchased after the hotel acquisition date is recorded at cost. Replacements and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Upon the sale or retirement of a fixed asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation is removed from the Company’s accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statements of operations. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 15 to 40 years for buildings, land improvements and building improvements and 1 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the useful lives of the related assets. We review our investments in hotel properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the hotel properties may not be recoverable. Events or circumstances that may cause a review include, but are not limited to, adverse changes in the demand for lodging at the properties due to declining national or local economic conditions and/or new hotel construction in markets where the hotels are located. When such conditions exist, management performs an analysis to determine if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from operations and the proceeds from the ultimate disposition of a hotel exceed its carrying value. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to reduce the carrying amount to the related hotel’s estimated fair market value is recorded and an impairment loss is recognized. We will classify a hotel as held for sale in the period that we have made the decision to dispose of the hotel, a binding agreement to purchase the property has been signed under which the buyer has committed a significant amount of nonrefundable cash and no significant financing or other contingencies exist which could cause the transaction to not be completed in a timely manner. If these criteria are met, we will record an impairment loss if the fair value less costs to sell is lower than the carrying amount of the hotel and related assets and will cease recording depreciation expense. We will classify the assets and related liabilities as held for sale on the balance sheet.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenues from operations of the hotels are recognized when the services are provided. Revenues consist of room sales, food and beverage sales and other hotel department revenues, such as telephone, parking, gift shop sales and resort fees.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings during the period in which the new rate is enacted. We have elected to be treated as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, which requires that we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income annually to our stockholders and comply with certain other requirements. In addition to paying federal and state taxes on any retained income, we may be subject to taxes on “built in gains” on sales of certain assets. Our taxable REIT subsidiaries will generally be subject to federal, state, local and/or foreign income taxes. In order for the income from our hotel property investments to constitute “rents from real properties” for purposes of the gross income tests required for REIT qualification, the income we earn cannot be derived from the operation of any of our hotels. Therefore, we lease each of our hotel properties to a wholly owned subsidiary of Bloodstone TRS, Inc., our existing taxable REIT subsidiary, or TRS, except for the Frenchman’s Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort, which is owned by a Virgin Islands corporation, which we have elected to be treated as a TRS.
Intangible Assets and Liabilities	Intangible Assets and Liabilities Intangible assets or liabilities are recorded on non-market contracts assumed as part of the acquisition of certain hotels. We review the terms of agreements assumed in conjunction with the purchase of a hotel to determine if the terms are favorable or unfavorable compared to an estimated market agreement at the acquisition date. Favorable lease assets or unfavorable contract liabilities are recorded at the acquisition date and amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the agreement. We do not amortize intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, but we review these assets for impairment annually or at interim periods if events or circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus other potentially dilutive securities such as stock grants or shares issuable in the event of conversion of operating partnership units. No adjustment is made for shares that are anti-dilutive during a period.
Stock-based Compensation	Stock-based Compensation We account for stock-based employee compensation using the fair value based method of accounting. We record the cost of awards with service or market conditions based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)	Comprehensive Income (Loss) We do not have any comprehensive income (loss) other than net income (loss). If we have any comprehensive income (loss) in future periods, such that a statement of comprehensive income would be necessary, such statement will be reported as one statement with the consolidated statement of operations.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash Restricted cash primarily consists of reserves for replacement of furniture and fixtures held by our hotel managers and cash held in escrow pursuant to lender requirements.
Deferred Financing Costs	Deferred Financing Costs Financing costs are recorded at cost and consist of loan fees and other costs incurred in connection with the issuance of debt. Amortization of deferred financing costs is computed using a method that approximates the effective interest method over the remaining life of the debt and is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Hotel Working Capital	Hotel Working Capital The due from hotel managers consists of hotel level accounts receivable, periodic hotel operating distributions due to owner and prepaid and other assets held by the hotel managers on our behalf. The due to hotel managers represents liabilities incurred by the hotel on behalf of us in conjunction with the operation of our hotels which are legal obligations of the Company.
Key Money	Key Money Key money received in conjunction with entering into hotel management or franchise agreements or completing specific capital projects is deferred and amortized over the term of the hotel management agreement, the term of the franchise agreement, or other systematic and rational period, if appropriate. Deferred key money is classified as deferred income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and amortized as an offset to base management fees or franchise fees.
Straight-Line Rental Income and Expense	Straight-Line Rental Income and Expense We record rental income and expense on leases that provide for minimum rental payments that increase in pre-established amounts over the remaining term of the lease on a straight-line basis.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of our notes receivable and cash and cash equivalents. See further discussion of our notes receivable in Note 5. We maintain cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions. We perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions and limit the amount of credit exposure with any one institution.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which primarily changes the lessee's accounting for operating leases by requiring recognition of lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the effect of the ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments, which eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, acquirers must recognize measurement-period adjustments during the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts they would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the effect of the ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but we do not believe it will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this standard will only affect the presentation of our balance sheet. Upon adoption we will reclassify deferred financing costs, net from total assets to be shown net of debt in the liabilities section of our balance sheet. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which changes the way reporting enterprises evaluate the consolidation of limited partnerships, variable interests and similar entities. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the effect of the ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but we do not believe it will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which affects virtually all aspects of an entity’s revenue recognition. The new standard sets forth five prescribed steps to determine the timing and amount of revenue to be recognized to appropriately depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which deferred the effectiveness of ASU No. 2014-09 to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and permitted early application for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We do not believe it will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
