Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization	Organization Red Lion Hotels Corporation ("RLHC", "we", "our", "us" or "our Company") is a NYSE-listed hospitality and leisure company (ticker symbols RLH and RLH-pa) primarily engaged in the management, franchising and ownership of hotels under our proprietary brands, including Hotel RL, Red Lion Hotels, Red Lion Inns & Suites, GuestHouse International, Settle Inn & Suites and Leo Hotel Collection (collectively the "RLHC Brands"). All of our hotels currently operate under the RLHC Brands which represent upper midscale, midscale and economy hotels. A summary of our properties as of June 30, 2015 is provided below: Hotels Total Available Rooms Company operated hotels Majority owned and consolidated 12 2,530 Leased 5 1,027 Managed 2 487 Franchised hotels 109 10,359 Leo Hotel Collection 1 300 Total systemwide 129 14,703 We are also engaged in entertainment operations, which derive revenues from promotion and presentation of entertainment productions and ticketing services under the operations of WestCoast Entertainment and TicketsWest. The ticketing service offers online ticket sales, ticketing inventory management systems, call center services, and outlet/electronic distributions for event locations. We were incorporated in the state of Washington in April 1978, and until 2005 operated hotels under various other brand names including Cavanaughs Hotels and WestCoast Hospitality Corporation. The financial statements encompass the accounts of Red Lion Hotels Corporation and all of its consolidated subsidiaries, including Red Lion Hotels Holdings, Inc., Red Lion Hotels Franchising, Inc., Red Lion Hotels Management, Inc. ("RL Management"), Red Lion Hotels Limited Partnership, RL Venture LLC ("RL Venture"), and RLS Balt Venture LLC ("RLS Balt Venture"). The financial statements include an equity method investment in a 19.9% owned real estate venture, as well as certain cost method investments in various entities included as other assets, over which we do not exercise significant influence. In addition, we hold a 3% common interest in Red Lion Hotels Capital Trust (the “Trust”) that is considered a variable interest entity. We are not the primary beneficiary of the Trust; thus, it is treated as an equity method investment.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 has been compiled from the audited balance sheet as of such date. We believe the disclosures included herein are adequate; however, they should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014 , previously filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all of the adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position at June 30, 2015 , the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , and the consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 . The comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented may not be indicative of that which may be expected for a full year. Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and the disclosures of contingent liabilities. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates and interim results may not be indicative of fiscal year performance because of seasonal and short-term variations. Changes to Significant Accounting Policies We recognize other revenue and costs from managed properties when we incur the related reimbursable costs. These costs primarily consist of payroll and related expenses at managed properties where we are the employer. As these costs have no added markup, the revenue and related expense have no impact on either our operating or net income. We recognize key money paid in conjunction with entering into long-term franchise agreements as prepaid expenses and amortize the amount paid against revenue over the term of the franchise agreements. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Except as otherwise described, these reclassifications had no effect on reported net income/loss, total assets, total liabilities, total stockholders’ equity, or net cash flows as previously reported.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 may be applied using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. In July 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date to January 1, 2018 with early adoption beginning January 1, 2017. We are in the process of evaluating this guidance and our method of adoption. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which changes the consolidation analysis for both the variable interest model and for the voting model for limited partnerships and similar entities. ASU 2015-02 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early application is permitted. ASU 2015-02 provides for one of two methods of transition: retrospective application to each prior period presented; or recognition of the cumulative effect of retrospective application of the new standard in the period of initial application. We are in the process of evaluating this guidance and our method of adoption. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, 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. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early application is permitted. We early adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2015. We utilized retrospective application of the new standard and reclassified prior period balances of prepaid debt fees to debt discount. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, which provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The new guidance does not change the accounting for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. ASU 2015-05 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. We are in the process of evaluating this guidance and our method of adoption. Management has assessed the potential impact of other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards and determined that the provisions are either not applicable to our company, or are not anticipated to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Variable Interest Entities [Abstract]
Variable Interest Entities	Variable Interest Entities RL Venture In January 2015, we transferred 12 of our wholly-owned hotels into RL Venture, a newly created entity that was initially wholly-owned by us. Subsequently, we sold a 45% ownership stake in RL Venture to Shelbourne Falcon RLHC Hotel Investors LLC ("Shelbourne Falcon"), an entity that is led by Shelbourne Capital LLC ("Shelbourne"). We maintain a 55% interest in RL Venture and the 12 hotels are managed by RL Management, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, subject to a management agreement. RL Venture is considered a variable interest entity because our voting rights are not proportional to our financial interest and substantially all of RL Venture's activities involve and are conducted on our behalf. We have determined that we are the primary beneficiary as (a) we maintain a majority financial position, (b) we maintain management of the properties, and (c) the properties remain branded with RLHC Brands. As a result, we consolidate all of the activities of RL Venture. The equity interest owned by Shelbourne Falcon is reflected as noncontrolling interest in the consolidated financial statements. We recognized an $12.3 million loss on the sale of the equity interests as a reduction to additional paid in capital. Cash distributions are made periodically based on calculated distributable income. There were no cash distributions made during the three or six months ended June 30, 2015 . RL Venture is considered a significant subsidiary; therefore the following condensed financial statements are presented to satisfy disclosure requirements of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X. The liabilities of RL Venture, other than its long-term debt, are non-recourse to our general credit and assets. The long-term debt is non-recourse as to RL Venture, but several investors in RL Venture, including us, are guarantors regarding completion of certain improvements to the hotels, environmental covenants in the loan agreement, losses incurred by the lender and any event of bankruptcy involving RL Venture or any of its subsidiaries.

Shelbourne Falcon II has an option exercisable until December 31, 2015 to purchase an additional 24% member interest for $2.3 million . RL Baltimore, LLC ("RL Baltimore"), which is wholly-owned by RLS Balt Venture, owns the Hotel RL Baltimore Inner Harbor, which is manage by RL Management. RLS Balt Venture is considered a variable interest entity because our voting rights are not proportional to our financial interest and substantially all of RLS Balt Venture's activities involve and are conducted on our behalf. We have determined that we are the primary beneficiary as (a) we maintain a majority financial position, (b) we maintain management of the property, and (c) the property remains branded with a RLHC Brand. As a result, we consolidate all of the activities of RLS Balt Venture. The equity interest owned by Shelbourne Falcon II is reflected as a noncontrolling interest in the consolidated financial statements. Cash distributions are made periodically based on calculated distributable income. There were no cash distributions made during the three or six months ended June 30, 2015 .

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired during business combinations over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill was recorded in prior years in connection with the acquisitions of franchises and entertainment businesses. The Red Lion and GuestHouse International brand names are identifiable, indefinite-lived intangible assets that represents the separable legal right to a trade name and associated trademarks. We acquired the Red Lion brand name in a business combination we entered into in 2001. We purchased the GuestHouse International and Settle Inn & Suites brand names from GuestHouse International LLC in April 2015 and have allocated a preliminary purchase price of $5.9 million . In the table below, the customer contracts represent the franchise license agreements acquired with the GuestHouse International brand. We have allocated a preliminary purchase price of $4.4 million . Franchise license agreements are amortized over 10 years which represents the period of expected cash flows, using an accelerated amortization method that matches the economic benefit of the agreements. We estimated the fair value of our customer contracts and brand names purchased from GuestHouse International using expected future payments discounted at risk-adjusted rates, both of which are Level 3 inputs.

Long-Term Debt	Long-Term Debt The current and non-current portions of long-term debt and capital lease obligations as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are as follows: June 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Current Non-Current Current Non-Current RL Venture $ — $ 53,528 $ — $ — RL Baltimore — 11,129 — — Wells Fargo — — — 29,873 Debentures due Red Lion Hotels Capital Trust — 30,825 — 30,825 Total $ — $ 95,482 $ — $ 60,698 RL Venture In January 2015, RL Venture Holding LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of RL Venture, and each of its 12 wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into a loan agreement with Pacific Western Bank. The original principal amount of the loan was $53.8 million with an additional $26.2 million to be drawn over a two -year period to cover improvements related to the 12 hotels. We drew $1.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 . At June 30, 2015 , there were unamortized debt issuance fees of $2.1 million . The loan matures in January 2019 and has a one -year extension option. Interest under the advanced portions of the loan is payable monthly at LIBOR plus 4.75% . Fixed monthly principal payments begin in January 2017 in an amount that would repay the outstanding principal balance over a twenty-five year amortization period. The loan requires us to comply with customary reporting and operating covenants applicable to RL Venture, including requirements relating to debt service loan coverage ratios. It also includes customary events of default. We were in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2015 . RL Baltimore In April 2015, RL Baltimore obtained a new mortgage loan from PFP Holding Company IV LLC, an affiliate of Prime Finance, secured by the Hotel RL Baltimore Inner Harbor. The initial principal amount of the loan was $10.1 million , and the lender has agreed to advance an additional $3.2 million to cover expenses related to improvements to the hotel. We drew $1.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 . At June 30, 2015 , there were unamortized debt issuance fees of $0.7 million . The loan matures in May 2018 and has two one -year extension options. Interest under the advanced portions of the loan is payable monthly at LIBOR plus 6.25% . No principal payments are required during the initial term of the loan. Principal payments of $16,000 per month are required beginning in May 2018 if the extension option is exercised. The loan agreement includes customary requirements for lender approval of annual operating and capital budgets, under certain conditions. It also includes customary events of default. RLHC guaranteed the loan and agreed to customary reporting and operating covenants. We were in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2015 . Wells Fargo In January 2015, in connection with the RL Venture transaction, we repaid the outstanding balance of our Wells Fargo term loan. We recognized a $1.2 million "Loss on early retirement of debt" on the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) related to termination fees and write-off of the previously recorded prepaid debt fees and unamortized debt discount balances. In January 2015, in connection with the sale of the Bellevue property, we terminated the $10 million revolving credit facility associated with the term loan. There was no impact on our financial statements. Debentures due Red Lion Hotels Capital Trust Together with the Trust, we completed a public offering of $46.0 million of trust preferred securities in 2004. The securities are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and entitle holders to cumulative cash distributions at a 9.5% annual rate with maturity in February 2044. The cost of the offering totaled $2.3 million , which the Trust paid through an advance by us. The advance to the Trust is included with other noncurrent assets on our consolidated balance sheets. We simultaneously borrowed all of the proceeds from the offering, including our original 3% trust common investment of $1.4 million , and issued 9.5% debentures to the Trust that are included as a long-term liability on our consolidated balance sheets. The debentures mature in 2044 and their payment terms mirror the distribution terms of the trust securities. The debenture agreement required the mandatory repayment of 35% of the then-outstanding debenture at a 5% premium if we completed an offering of common shares with gross proceeds of at least $50 million . In accordance therewith and in connection with a common stock offering in May 2006, we repaid approximately $16.6 million of the debentures. As required by the terms of the trust securities, the Trust then redeemed 35% of the outstanding trust preferred securities and trust common securities at a price of $26.25 per share, a 5% premium over their issuance price. Of the $16.6 million , approximately $0.5 million was received back by us for our trust common securities and was reflected as a reduction of our investment in the Trust. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , debentures due the Trust totaled $30.8 million .

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments We do not enter into derivative transactions for trading purposes, but rather to hedge our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. We manage our floating rate debt using interest rate caps in order to reduce our exposure to the impact of changing interest rates and future cash outflows for interest. RL Venture As required under our RL Venture loan, we entered into an interest rate cap with Commonwealth Bank of Australia to cap our interest rate exposure. The cap had an original notional amount of $80.0 million and a fixed rate of 5.0% . The cap expires in January 2018. We estimate the fair value of this interest rate cap using standard calculations that use as their basis readily available observable market parameters. This option-pricing technique utilizes a one-month LIBOR forward yield curve, obtained from an independent external service. At June 30, 2015 , the valuation of the interest rate cap resulted in the recognition of an asset totaling $21 thousand , which is included in "Other assets, net" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. RLS Balt Venture As required under our RLS Balt Venture loan, we entered into an interest rate cap with Commonwealth Bank of Australia to cap our interest rate exposure. The cap had an original notional amount of $13.3 million and a fixed rate of 3.0% . The cap expires in May 2018. We estimate the fair value of this interest rate cap using standard calculations that use as their basis readily available observable market parameters. This option-pricing technique utilizes a one-month LIBOR forward yield curve, obtained from an independent external service. At June 30, 2015 , the valuation of the interest rate cap resulted in the recognition of an asset totaling $22 thousand , which is included in "Other assets, net" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Wells Fargo In January 2015, in connection with the early retirement of the Wells Fargo credit facility, we settled and terminated the associated interest rate swap with Wells Fargo. The outstanding notional amount at the time of the termination was approximately $16.2 million . Of the $1.2 million "Loss on early retirement of debt" on the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) resulting from the termination of the credit facility and the swap, $0.4 million was attributable to termination of the swap. See Note 9 for additional information.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Business Segments	Business Segments As of June 30, 2015 , we had three reporting segments: company operated hotels, franchised hotels and entertainment. The “other” segment consists of miscellaneous revenues and expenses, cash and cash equivalents, certain receivables and certain property and equipment which are not specifically associated with an operating segment. Management reviews and evaluates the operating segments exclusive of interest expense and income taxes; therefore, those two items have not been allocated to the segments.

Stockholders' Equity	Stockholders' Equity Stock Incentive Plans The 2006 Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the grant or issuance of various option and other awards including restricted stock units and other stock-based compensation. The plan was approved by our shareholders and allowed awards of 2.0 million shares, subject to adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events. As of June 30, 2015 , there were 12,727 shares of common stock available for issuance pursuant to future stock option grants or other awards under the 2006 plan. The 2015 Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the grant or issuance of various option and other awards including restricted stock units and other stock-based compensation. The plan was approved by our shareholders and allows awards of 1.4 million shares, subject to adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events. As of June 30, 2015 , there were 854,352 shares of common stock available for issuance pursuant to future stock option grants or other awards under the 2015 plan. Stock Options In the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 we recognized no compensation expense related to options. A summary of stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2015 , is as follows: Number of Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Balance, December 31, 2014 75,176 $ 10.27 Options granted — $ — Options exercised — $ — Options forfeited — $ — Balance, June 30, 2015 75,176 $ 10.27 Exercisable, June 30, 2015 75,176 $ 10.27 Additional information regarding stock options outstanding and exercisable as of June 30, 2015 , is as follows: Exercise Price Number Outstanding Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years) Expiration Date Weighted Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value (1) Number Exercisable Weighted Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value (1) $7.46 3,500 0.36 2015 $ 7.46 $ 700 3,500 $ 7.46 $ 700 $8.74 40,836 2.89 2018 8.74 — 40,836 8.74 — $12.21 15,195 1.39 2016 12.21 — 15,195 12.21 — $13.00 15,645 1.88 2017 13.00 — 15,645 13.00 — 75,176 2.26 2015-2018 $ 10.27 $ 700 75,176 $ 10.27 $ 700 __________ (1) The aggregate intrinsic value is before applicable income taxes and represents the amount option recipients would have received if all options had been fully vested and exercised on the last trading day of the first six months of 2015 , or June 30, 2015 , based upon our closing stock price on that date of $7.66 . Restricted Stock Units, Shares Issued as Compensation As of June 30, 2015 and 2014 , there were 1,270,848 and 283,677 unvested restricted stock units outstanding. Since we began issuing restricted stock units, approximately 22.0% of total units granted have been forfeited. In the second quarter of 2015 , we recognized approximately $0.3 million in compensation expense related to restricted stock units compared to $0.2 million in the comparable period in 2014 . As the restricted stock units vest, we expect to recognize approximately $6.6 million in additional compensation expense over a weighted average period of 43 months, including $1.0 million during the remainder of 2015 . A summary of restricted stock unit activity for the six months ended June 30, 2015 , is as follows: Number of Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Balance, December 31, 2014 398,513 $ 7.32 Granted 982,383 $ 7.17 Vested (93,485 ) $ 5.34 Forfeited (16,563 ) $ 5.67 Balance, June 30, 2015 1,270,848 $ 6.89 Employee Stock Purchase Plan In January 2008, we adopted the 2008 employee stock purchase plan (the “2008 ESPP”) upon the expiration of its predecessor plan. Under the 2008 ESPP, a total of 300,000 shares of common stock are authorized for purchase by eligible employees at a discount through payroll deductions. No employee may purchase more than $25,000 worth of shares in any calendar year, or more than 10,000 shares during any six-month purchase period under the plan. As allowed under the 2008 ESPP, a participant may elect to withdraw from the plan, effective for the purchase period in progress at the time of the election with all accumulated payroll deductions returned to the participant at the time of withdrawal. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, 10,614 and 7,405 shares were issued to participants under the terms of the plan, respectively. Warrants In January 2015, in connection with Shelbourne Falcon’s purchase of equity interests in RL Venture, we issued Shelbourne a warrant to purchase 442,533 shares of common stock. The warrant has a five year term from the date of issuance and a per share exercise price of $6.78 . The warrant is classified as equity due to share settlement upon exercise. Accordingly, the estimated fair value of the warrant was recorded in additional paid in capital upon issuance and we do not recognize subsequent changes in fair value in our financial statements.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments Applicable accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). We measure our assets and liabilities using inputs from the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy: Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs). Level 3 includes unobservable inputs that reflect assumptions about what factors market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. We develop these inputs based on the best information available, including our own data. Estimated fair values of financial instruments (in thousands) are shown in the table below. The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and current liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values. We estimate the fair value of our notes receivable using expected future payments discounted at risk-adjusted rates, both of which are Level 3 inputs. We estimate the fair value of our long-term debt using expected future payments discounted at risk-adjusted rates, both of which are Level 3 inputs. The debentures are valued at the closing price on June 30, 2015 , of the underlying trust preferred securities on the New York Stock Exchange, which was a directly observable Level 1 input. The fair values provided below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we or the debt holders could realize in a current market exchange. In addition, potential income tax ramifications related to the realization of gains and losses that would be incurred in an actual sale or settlement have not been taken into consideration.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies At any given time we are subject to claims and actions incidental to the operations of our business. Based on information currently available, we do not expect that any sums we may receive or have to pay in connection with any legal proceeding would have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or net cash flow. Due to our equity method investment in a 19.9% owned real estate venture, we are considered a guarantor of the mortgage for the building associated with that investment. We would be obligated to pay a portion of this mortgage in the event the real estate venture were unable to meet its principal or interest payment obligations. As of June 30, 2015 , the maximum amount payable under this guarantee was approximately $1.9 million , which represents 19.9% of the outstanding mortgage balance. At each reporting date, it was not probable that we would be required to pay any of this amount; thus we have not accrued a liability for any portion of this obligation in our June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014 financial statements. Our lease for the Red Lion Hotel Vancouver (at the Quay) requires us to pay a fee of $3.0 million on December 31, 2015 or any earlier termination of the lease. This payment is subject to a letter of credit that is secured by a certificate of deposit, which is included in "Restricted cash" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 has been compiled from the audited balance sheet as of such date. We believe the disclosures included herein are adequate; however, they should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014 , previously filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all of the adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position at June 30, 2015 , the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , and the consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 . The comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented may not be indicative of that which may be expected for a full year. Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and the disclosures of contingent liabilities. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates and interim results may not be indicative of fiscal year performance because of seasonal and short-term variations.
Changes to Significant Accounting Policies	Changes to Significant Accounting Policies We recognize other revenue and costs from managed properties when we incur the related reimbursable costs. These costs primarily consist of payroll and related expenses at managed properties where we are the employer. As these costs have no added markup, the revenue and related expense have no impact on either our operating or net income.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Except as otherwise described, these reclassifications had no effect on reported net income/loss, total assets, total liabilities, total stockholders’ equity, or net cash flows as previously reported.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 may be applied using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. In July 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date to January 1, 2018 with early adoption beginning January 1, 2017. We are in the process of evaluating this guidance and our method of adoption. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which changes the consolidation analysis for both the variable interest model and for the voting model for limited partnerships and similar entities. ASU 2015-02 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early application is permitted. ASU 2015-02 provides for one of two methods of transition: retrospective application to each prior period presented; or recognition of the cumulative effect of retrospective application of the new standard in the period of initial application. We are in the process of evaluating this guidance and our method of adoption. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, 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. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early application is permitted. We early adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2015. We utilized retrospective application of the new standard and reclassified prior period balances of prepaid debt fees to debt discount. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, which provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The new guidance does not change the accounting for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. ASU 2015-05 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. We are in the process of evaluating this guidance and our method of adoption. Management has assessed the potential impact of other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards and determined that the provisions are either not applicable to our company, or are not anticipated to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
