Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The unaudited condensed 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 annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2017 has been derived 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, 2017 , filed with the SEC in our annual report on Form 10-K on April 2, 2018. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all of the adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary to present fairly our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2018 , the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 . The results of operations for the periods presented may not be indicative of that which may be expected for a full year or for any other fiscal period. Revenue Recognition Revenue is generally recognized as services are provided. Revenues are primarily derived from franchise contracts with third-party hotel owners, as well as from individual hotel guests and corporate patrons at our owned and leased hotels. Revenues are also derived from management of third-party owned hotels. The majority of compensation received for our performance obligations is variable consideration from our management and franchise contracts or fixed transactional guest consideration through our owned and leased hotels. We recognize the variable fees as the services to which they relate are delivered, applying the prescribed variable consideration allocation guidance. In certain circumstances we defer consideration and recognize consideration over time as the related performance obligations are satisfied. Franchised hotel revenues We identified the following services as one performance obligation in connection with our franchise contracts: • Intellectual Property (IP) licenses grant a non-exclusive, limited revocable license to the RLH trademarks and hotel names. • Manual and Training Services provide operational assistance unique to the RLH brands, business model and standards. • Reservation Services are provided through direct or indirect system access. • Marketing Services and Arrangements benefit the overall hotel network and include brand promotions, direct guest marketing, brand name marketing and various other programs targeted at advertising to guests. • Brand Conference is provided typically annually for third party owners to gather and attend educational seminars and brand informational presentations. The performance obligation related to franchise revenues is delivered over time. While the underlying services may vary from day to day, the nature of the promises are the same each day, other than the Brand Conference, which is recognized in the month the service is provided, and the property owner can independently benefit from each day's services. Franchise fees are typically based on the sales or usage of the underlying hotel, with the exception of fixed upfront fees that usually represent an insignificant portion of the transaction price. Franchised hotel revenues represent fees earned in connection with the licensing of one of our brands, usually under long-term contracts with the property owner, and include the following: • Royalty fees are generally based on a percentage of a hotel's monthly gross room revenue or a fixed monthly fee based on room count. These fees are typically billed and collected monthly, and revenue is generally recognized at the same time the fees are billed. • Application, initiation and other fees are charged when: (i) new hotels enter our system; (ii) there is a change of ownership; or (iii) contracts with properties already in our system are extended or modified. These fees are typically fixed and collected upfront and are recognized as revenue over the term of the franchise contract. • Reservations services/marketing expenses/other are associated with our brands and shared services, which are paid from fees collected by us from the franchised properties. Revenue is generally recognized on a gross basis as fees are billed, which are based on the underlying hotel's sales or usage (e.g., gross room revenues and number of reservations processed) and expenses are expected to equal the revenues over time. Any consideration paid or anticipated to be paid to incentivize hotel owners to enter into franchise contracts is capitalized and reduces revenues as amortized. The commission or directs costs of acquiring the contract or modification are recorded as contract acquisition costs and are recognized in franchise costs when amortized. Company operated hotels revenue We identified the following performance obligations in connection with our owned and leased hotel revenues, for which revenue is recognized as the respective performance obligations are satisfied, which results in recognizing the amount we expect to be entitled to for providing the goods or services to the hotel customer or guest: • Room reservations or ancillary services are typically satisfied as the good or service is transferred to the hotel guest, which is generally when the room stay occurs. • Other ancillary goods and services are purchased independently of the room reservation at standalone selling prices and are considered separate performance obligations, which are satisfied when the related good or service is provided to the hotel guest. • Hotel management fees represent fees earned from hotels that we manage, usually under long-term contracts with the property owner and are generally based on a percentage of a hotel's monthly gross revenue. Base fees are typically billed and collected monthly, and revenue is generally recognized at the same time the fees are billed. Company operated hotels revenue primarily consist of hotel room rentals, revenue from accommodations sold in conjunction with other services(e.g., package reservations), food and beverage sales and other ancillary goods and services (e.g., parking) related to owned, leased and consolidated non-wholly owned (joint venture) hotel properties and hotel management fees. Revenue is recognized when rooms are occupied or goods and services have been delivered or rendered, respectively. Payment terms typically align with when the goods and services are provided. The management fees from third-party hotel owners earned under the contract relate to a specific outcome of providing the services (e.g., hotel room sales). We use time as the measure of progress to recognize as revenue the fees that are allocated to the period earned per the contract. Revenue from managed properties Other revenue from managed properties includes direct reimbursements including payroll and related costs and certain other operating costs of the managed properties’ operations, which are contractually reimbursed to us by the property owners as expenses are incurred. Revenue is recognized based on the amount of expenses incurred by us and are presented as other expenses from managed hotels in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). These expenses are then reimbursed by the property owner typically on a monthly basis, which results in no net effect on operating income (loss) or net income (loss). Other revenues Other revenues include revenues generated by the incidental support of hotel operations for owned, leased, managed and franchised hotels, including purchasing operations, and other operating income. Taxes and fees collected on behalf of governmental agencies We are required to collect certain taxes and fees from customers on behalf of governmental agencies and remit these back to the applicable governmental agencies on a periodic basis. We have a legal obligation to act as a collection agent. We do not retain these taxes and fees and, therefore, they are not included in our measurement of transaction prices. We have elected to present revenue net of sales taxes and other similar taxes. We record a liability when the amounts are collected and relieve the liability when payments are made to the applicable taxing authority or other appropriate governmental agency. New and Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , 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. We adopted the requirements of ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method, as permitted by the standard, resulting in a cumulative adjustment to accumulated deficit of $0.6 million . In implementation, we applied the transition guides to franchise agreements originated by us. No contract liability was recorded for franchise contracts that were acquired in prior business combinations or asset purchases. The provisions of ASU 2014-09 affected our revenue recognition as follows: • Application, initiation and other fees are recognized over the term of the franchise contract based on the first penalty free termination date, rather than upon execution of the contract. These fees are recognized in franchise hotel revenue. • Certain contract acquisition costs related to our management and franchise contracts are recognized over the term of the contracts rather than upon execution of the contract. The amortization of these costs is recognized in franchised hotel expenses. Information below represents the effect of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2018 and our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 (in thousands, except per share data).

The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required. We are still assessing the potential impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on our financial statements and disclosures. We had $77.8 million of operating lease obligations as of June 30, 2018 (see Note 10) and upon the adoption of the standard we expect to record an ROU asset and lease liability for present value of these leases, which will have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We have assessed the potential impact of other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards and determined that the provisions are either not applicable to us or are not anticipated to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The "other" segment consists of miscellaneous revenues and expenses, cash and cash equivalents, certain receivables, certain property and equipment and general and administrative expenses, which are not specifically associated with an operating segment. Management reviews and evaluates the operating segments exclusive of interest expense, income taxes and certain corporate expenses; therefore, they have not been allocated to the operating segments. All balances have been presented after the elimination of inter-segment and intra-segment revenues and expenses. The results of operations of the entertainment segment were treated as discontinued operations, due to the sale of the business completed on October 3, 2017. As a result, the revenue and operating expenses of the entertainment segment are excluded from the segment disclosures below.

Variable Interest Entities [Abstract]
Variable Interest Entities	Variable Interest Entities Our joint venture entities have been determined to be variable interest entities (VIEs), and RLH Corporation has been determined to be the primary beneficiary of each VIE. Therefore, we consolidate the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of (1) RL Venture, (2) RLS Balt Venture LLC (RLS Balt Venture), (3) RLS Atla Venture LLC (RLS Atla Venture) and (4) RLS DC Venture LLC (RLS DC Venture). See Note 8 for further discussion of the terms of the long-term debt at each of the joint venture entities. RL Venture We maintain a 55% interest in RL Venture, with the remaining 45% owned by Shelbourne Falcon RLHC Hotel Investors LLC (Shelbourne Falcon), an entity that is led by Shelbourne Capital LLC (Shelbourne). The hotels owned by RL Venture 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 exert power over two of the entity's key activities (hotel operations and property renovations) and share power over the remaining key activities with Shelbourne Falcon, which does not have the unilateral ability to exercise kick-out rights, and (b) we have the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive benefits that could be significant to the entity through our 55% equity interest and management fees. As a result, we consolidate RL Venture. The equity interest owned by Shelbourne Falcon is reflected as a noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Cash distributions may be made periodically based on calculated distributable income. During the second quarter of 2018 , RL Venture made a cash distribution totaling $9.0 million , of which RLH Corporation received $5.0 million . During the second quarter of 2017 , RL Venture made distributions totaling $1.5 million , of which RLH Corporation received $0.8 million . There were no cash distributions made during the first quarter of 2018 or 2017 . Subsequent to the second quarter of 2018 , RL Venture made a cash distribution totaling $37.5 million , of which RLH Corporation received $20.6 million . Under our credit agreement with Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch (DB), Capital One, National Association and Raymond Jame Bank, N.A., as lenders and DB as the administrative agent (DB Credit Agreement), these funds may be used to pay down the principal outstanding on the Senior Secured Term Loan. See Note 8, Long-Term Debt for discussion of the Senior Secured Term Loan. In February 2018, five of the RL Venture properties were sold for an aggregate sale price of $47.2 million . In April 2018, one of the RL Venture properties sold for $5.5 million . In May 2018, an additional RL Venture property sold for $9.3 million . In July 2018, two additional RL Venture properties sold for $54.5 million . As of July 31, 2018, RL Venture has two remaining properties, both of which are being marketed for sale. See Notes 19 and 20 for discussion of Assets Held for Sale and Subsequent Events . RLS Balt Venture We own a 73% interest in RLS Balt Venture, with the remaining 27% owned by Shelbourne Falcon Charm City Investors LLC (Shelbourne Falcon II), an entity led by Shelbourne. RL Baltimore, LLC (RL Baltimore), which is wholly-owned by RLS Balt Venture, owns the Hotel RL Baltimore Inner Harbor, which is managed 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 exert power over the entity's key activities (hotel operations and property renovations) and share power over the remaining key activities with Shelbourne Falcon II, which does not have the unilateral ability to exercise kick-out rights, and (b) we have the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive benefits that could be significant to the entity through our 73% equity interest and management fees. As a result, we consolidate RLS Balt Venture. The equity interest owned by Shelbourne Falcon II is reflected as a noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated financial statements. In May 2017 and 2018, RLH Corporation provided an additional $2.8 million and $2.0 million , respectively, to RLS Balt Venture to fund operating losses. This funding was not treated as a loan or as a capital contribution. Rather, it is preferred capital of RLS Balt Venture and will be repaid only when the Baltimore hotel property is sold or when RLS Balt Venture is liquidated. Upon such an event, RLH Corporation will receive the preferred capital plus a preferred return of 9% on the May 2017 preferred capital and 11% on the May 2018 preferred capital, compounded annually, prior to any liquidation proceeds being returned to the members. Cash distributions may be made periodically based on calculated distributable income. There were no cash distributions made during the six months ended June 30, 2018 or 2017 . RLS Atla Venture We own a 55% interest in RLS Atla Venture and Falcon Big Peach Investors LLC (Shelbourne Falcon III), an entity led by Shelbourne, owns a 45% interest. RLH Atlanta LLC (RLH Atlanta), which is wholly-owned by RLS Atla Venture, owns a hotel adjacent to the Atlanta International Airport that opened in April 2016 as the Red Lion Hotel Atlanta International Airport. RLS Atla Venture is considered a variable interest entity because our voting rights are not proportional to our financial interest and substantially all of RLS Atla Venture's activities involve and are conducted on our behalf. We have determined that we are the primary beneficiary as (a) we exert power over the entity's key activities (hotel operations and property renovations) and share power over the remaining key activities with Shelbourne Falcon III, which does not have the unilateral ability to exercise kick-out rights, and (b) we have the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive benefits that could be significant to the entity through our 55% equity interest and management fees. As a result, we consolidate RLS Atla Venture. The equity interest owned by Shelbourne Falcon III is reflected as a noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Cash distributions may be made periodically based on calculated distributable income. There were no cash distributions made during the six months ended June 30, 2018 or 2017 . RLS DC Venture We own 55% of RLS DC Venture, and Shelbourne Falcon DC Investors LLC (Shelbourne Falcon IV), an entity led by Shelbourne, owns 45% . RLS DC Venture is considered a variable interest entity because our voting rights are not proportional to our financial interest, and substantially all of RLS DC Venture's activities involve and are conducted on our behalf. We have determined that we are the primary beneficiary as (a) we exert power over the entity's key activities (hotel operations and property renovations) and share power over the remaining key activities with Shelbourne Falcon IV, which does not have the unilateral ability to exercise kick-out rights, and (b) we have the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive benefits that could be significant to the entity through our 55% equity interest and management fees. As a result, we consolidate RLS DC Venture. The equity interest owned by Shelbourne Falcon IV is reflected as a noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, RLH Corporation provided $950,000 to RLS DC Venture to fund restricted cash required by the loan agreement with Pacific Western Bank. In May 2018, RLH Corporation provided approximately $450,000 to RLS DC Venture to be used as a principal payment on the debt to Pacific Western Bank to bring the loan into compliance with the loan to value debt covenant requirement of the loan agreement. This funding was not treated as a loan or as a capital contribution. Rather, it is preferred capital of RLS DC Venture and will be repaid only when the DC hotel property is sold, when RLS DC Venture is liquidated, or the restricted cash is released per the loan agreement. Upon such an event, RLH Corporation will receive the preferred capital plus a preferred return of 9% on the May 2017 preferred capital and 11% on the May 2018 preferred capital, compounded annually, prior to any liquidation proceeds being returned to the members. Also in the May 2018, the loan was also amended to add a $4.5 million principal guarantee by RLH Corporation. The amendment also allows future debt service coverage ratio covenant defaults to be cured by an increase in the RLH Corporation principal guarantee. This option can be exercised a maximum of two times during the remaining term of the loan. Cash distributions may be made periodically based on calculated distributable income. There were no cash distributions made during the six months ended June 30, 2018 or 2017 .

Revenue will be recognized as the benefits are redeemed or expire over their one -year life. We did not estimate revenues expected to be recognized related to our unsatisfied performance obligations for our: (i) royalty fees since they are considered sales-based royalty fees recognized as hotel room sales occur in exchange for licenses of our brand names over the terms of the franchise contracts; and (ii) hotel management fees since they are allocated entirely to the wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer management services, which form part of a single performance obligation in a series, over the term of the management contract.

It also includes customary events of default, cross-default provisions, and restrictions on payment of dividends. RLH Corporation has also agreed to customary reporting, financial and operating covenants.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments We enter into derivative transactions to hedge our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, and not for trading purposes. 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. We estimate the fair value of our interest rate caps via 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, which is a Level 2 input. Changes in fair value of these instruments are recognized in interest expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the valuation of the interest rate caps resulted in the recognition of assets with minimal values both individually and in the aggregate, which are included within Other assets, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Stock Based Compensation	Stock Based Compensation Stock Incentive Plans The 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (2015 Plan) authorizes the grant or issuance of various option and other awards including restricted stock units and other stock-based compensation. The 2015 Plan was approved by our shareholders in 2015 and provided for awards of 1.4 million shares, subject to adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events. In May 2017, our shareholders approved an amendment to the 2015 Plan to authorize an additional 1.5 million shares, for a total authorized of 2.9 million shares. As of June 30, 2018 , there were 867,843 shares of common stock available for issuance pursuant to future stock option grants or other awards under the 2015 Plan. Stock based compensation expense reflects the fair value of stock based awards measured at grant date, including an estimated forfeiture rate, and is recognized over the relevant service period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 stock-based compensation expense is as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 Restricted stock units $ 775 $ 638 $ 1,192 $ 1,204 Unrestricted stock awards 114 110 229 215 Performance stock units 184 25 261 25 Stock options 17 17 34 34 Employee stock purchase plan 6 8 20 16 Total stock-based compensation $ 1,096 $ 798 $ 1,736 $ 1,494 Restricted Stock Units During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , we granted 499,362 and 458,020 restricted stock units, respectively, to executive officers and other key employees, which typically vest 25% each year for four years on each anniversary of the grant date. As of June 30, 2018 and 2017 , there were 1,438,723 and 1,335,450 unvested restricted stock units outstanding, respectively. A summary of restricted stock unit activity for the six months ended June 30, 2018 , is as follows: Number of Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Balance, January 1, 2018 1,246,966 $ 7.27 Granted 499,362 $ 10.40 Vested (195,430 ) $ 7.03 Forfeited (112,175 ) $ 7.21 Balance, June 30, 2018 1,438,723 $ 8.36 We issued 195,430 shares of common stock to employees during the first six months of 2018 as their restricted stock units vested. Under the terms of the plans upon issuance, we deliver a net settlement of distributable shares to employees after consideration of individual employees' tax withholding obligations, at the election of each employee. The fair value of restricted stock that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was approximately $1.9 million and $0.9 million , respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , we recognized $0.8 million and $0.6 million , respectively in compensation expense related to these grants. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , we recognized $1.2 million in each period in compensation expense related to these grants, and expect to recognize an additional $8.0 million in compensation expense over the remaining weighted average vesting periods of 37 months. Performance Stock Units, Shares Issued as Compensation We grant performance stock units (PSUs) to certain of our executives under the 2015 Plan. These PSUs include both performance and service vesting conditions. Each performance condition has a minimum, a target and a maximum share amount based on the level of attainment of the performance condition. Compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, is calculated based on the estimated attainment of the performance conditions during the performance period and recognized on a straight-line basis over the performance and service periods. Based on these assumptions, PSU compensation expense recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $0.2 million and $25,000 , respectively. PSU compensation expense recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $0.3 million and $25,000 , respectively. The remaining compensation expense related to PSUs of approximately $1.7 million will be recognized over the next 38 months. A summary of performance stock unit activity for the six months ended June 30, 2018 , is as follows: Number of Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Balance, January 1, 2018 256,976 $ 6.45 Granted 295,065 $ 9.75 Vested — — Canceled (126,559 ) $ 7.53 Forfeited (31,903 ) $ 6.45 Balance, June 30, 2018 393,579 $ 8.58 Unrestricted Stock Awards Unrestricted stock awards are granted to members of our Board of Directors as part of their compensation.

If we had reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 , 7,204 stock options would have been dilutive. If we had reported net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , no stock options would have been dilutive as a result of the RLH Corporation weighted average share price during the reporting periods. (2) Restricted stock units were anti-dilutive for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and three and six months ended June 30, 2017 due to the net loss attributable to RLH Corporation in the reporting periods. If we had reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 then 729,145 units would have been dilutive. If we had reported net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 then 380,053 and 381,287 units, respectively, would have been dilutive. (3) Performance stock units are not included in the weighted average diluted shares outstanding until the performance targets have been met. Performance stock units were anti-dilutive for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and three and six months ended June 30, 2017 due to the net loss attributable to RLH Corporation for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and no targets had been achieved during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 . If we had reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 then 105,179 units would have been dilutive. (4) All warrants were anti-dilutive for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and three and six months ended June 30, 2017 due to the net loss attributable to RLH Corporation in the reporting periods. If we had reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 then 160,041 units would have been dilutive. If we had reported net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 then zero and 21,156 units, respectively, would have been dilutive. (5) As part of the Vantage Hospitality Group, Inc. (Vantage Hospitality, Vantage) acquisition, up to an additional 690,000 shares could be issued with the one-year and two-year contingent consideration earn outs. These shares are not included in basic shares outstanding until the period the contingency is resolved, which was September 30, 2017 for the 414,000 shares related to the year-one contingent consideration earn out and May 2018 for the 276,000 share year-two earn out. As of June 30, 2018 no shares are contingent and the remaining 276,000 shares will be issued during the fourth quarter of 2018. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , all of the contingent consideration shares were anti-dilutive due to the net loss from continuing operations attributable to RLH Corporation in the reporting periods. If we had reported net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , none of the contingent consideration shares would have been dilutive.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes We recognized an income tax provision (benefit) for continuing operations of $(348,000) and $193,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 we recognized an income tax provision (benefit) for continuing operations of $(213,000) and $270,000 , respectively. The income tax provision varies from the statutory rate primarily due to a partial valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, as well as for deferred tax expense associated with our acquired indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are amortized for tax purposes but not for U.S. GAAP purposes. We have federal operating loss carryforwards, which will expire beginning in 2032, state operating loss carryforwards, which will expire beginning in 2019, and tax credit carryforwards, which will begin to expire in 2024.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value	Fair Value 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. 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 and capital lease obligations using expected future payments discounted at risk-adjusted rates, both of which are Level 3 inputs. 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. Cash, Restricted cash, and Accounts receivable carrying values approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items.

There were no amounts receivable from related parties associated with hotel management agreements as of June 30, 2018 . On April 17, 2018, we entered into a commitment letter with CP that described the general terms and conditions for a single advance term loan of $20 million . Upon execution of the commitment letter, we paid CP a non-refundable commitment fee of $200,000 , and agreed to reimburse CP for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, whether or not the loan was funded. The commitment was not used and terminated on May 31, 2018. At the time of the transaction, CP held beneficial ownership of 1,510,105 shares of our common stock, and 442,533 shares of common stock subject to a warrant held by an entity in which an affiliate of CP holds an indirect interest. CP is also an investor in Shelbourne Falcon, which holds a 45% interest in RL Venture. On September 30, 2016, we completed our acquisition of the operating assets and assumption of certain liabilities (the Assets) relating to specified hotel brands and brand extensions from Thirty-Eight Street, Inc. (TESI), Vantage Hospitality Group, Inc. (Vantage Hospitality) and certain other parties, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated September 13, 2016 (the Purchase Agreement). From the date of the acquisition, our board appointed Bernard T. Moyle, as our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer and Roger J. Bloss as our Executive Vice President and President of Global Development. Messrs. Moyle and Bloss are shareholders of TESI and Vantage Hospitality. On May 21, 2018, Messrs. Moyle and Bloss resigned from their RLH Corporation officer positions. In connection with their resignation, Messrs. Moyle and Bloss each entered into an Independent Contractor Agreement (ICA) with the Company under which each will provide consulting services to the Company through December 31, 2020 for a consulting fee of $10,000 per month. In addition, each are eligible under their ICA to receive a mutually agreed upon referral fee for any new hotel franchisee referred to the Company that enters into a franchise agreement for a Red Lion brand. The Company may terminate the ICA at any time, but if an ICA is terminated without cause (as defined in the ICA) the Company remains obligated to pay the monthly consulting fees through the end of the term. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , we made payments under the ICA of $10,000 each to Messrs. Moyle and Bloss. On May 21, 2018, the Company also entered into a letter agreement (Letter Agreement) and a First Amendment (First Amendment) to the Purchase Agreement dated as of September 13, 2016, by and among Red Lion Hotels Franchising, Inc., Red Lion Hotels Canada Franchising, Inc., TESI, Vantage Hospitality and certain other parties (including Moyle and Bloss) (the Amended Purchase Agreement). The First Amendment provides for an amendment to the non-competition and non-solicitation restrictive covenant under the Purchase Agreement. Under the Letter Agreement, the Company agreed that the second year earn-out payment payable under the Purchase Agreement would be paid in the full amount of $3.0 million and 276,000 shares of Company common stock (Second Year Additional Consideration) on or before October 5, 2018. The Company understands that Mr. Bloss and Mr. Moyle each own 50% of the outstanding shares of TESI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company terminates either of Mr. Bloss or Mr. Moyle for Cause (as defined in their respective ICA) prior to October 5, 2018, then the Second Year Additional Consideration will be $2.3 million in cash and 207,000 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2018 , the recorded fair value of the remaining contingent consideration (Year 2) is $3.0 million in cash and 276,000 shares of Company common valued at $10.45 as of May 21, 2018.

Bloss and Moyle) is the General Partner and holds a 2% general partner interest, and Mr. Moyle serves as the Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The Company and Cal-Vegas are not parties to any agreement with respect to these properties, as the management contracts are between Cal-Vegas and the Company’s franchisees, who are unrelated third parties. Cal-Vegas, Ltd. is also the lessee of the ABVI Las Vegas hotel. Franchise fees billed by the Company to each of these properties during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were as follows: Lexington Inn & Suites, Daytona Beach, $18,000 for each year, and ABVI Las Vegas, $161 and $150 , respectively.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Business Acquisitions	Business Acquisitions Knights Inn Acquisition On May 14, 2018, RLH Franchising completed the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of KFS, and the purchase of certain operating assets from, and assumption of certain liabilities relating to the business of franchising Knights Inn branded hotels to hotel owners from Wyndham Hotel Group Canada, ULC and Wyndham Hotel Group Europe Limited, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement, dated May 1, 2018. The aggregate purchase price of $27.0 million is subject to a post-closing purchase price adjustment mechanism for the cash, unpaid indebtedness, unpaid transaction expenses and working capital of KFS. The purchase price was financed through the DB Credit Agreement See Note 8 Long-Term Debt for discussion of the DB Credit Agreement. The acquisition of KFS was treated as a business combination under U.S. GAAP. During the second quarter, we estimated the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair value assessments. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary pending the completion of various analyses and the finalization of estimates primarily pertaining to the fair value assessment of accounts receivable. During the measurement period (which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date), additional assets or liabilities may be recognized if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets or liabilities as of that date. The preliminary allocation may be adjusted after obtaining additional information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions of previous estimates, and these adjustments may be significant. The following reflects our preliminary purchase price allocation as of June 30, 2018 (in thousands): Fair Value Current assets $ 1,939 Intangible assets 16,800 Goodwill 8,288 Total assets acquired 27,027 Current liabilities 27 Total liabilities acquired 27 Total net assets acquired $ 27,000 Intangible assets acquired are as follows (in thousands): Fair Value Useful Life Brand names $ 7,700 Indefinite Customer contracts 9,100 15 years Total intangible assets $ 16,800 We recognized $8.3 million in goodwill as the result of the acquisition, recorded within our franchise reporting segment. The goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. The factors that make up the goodwill are primarily expected synergies from combining the operations of Knights Inn with our own. The following table presents the revenues and earnings from Knights Inn's operations that are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) (unaudited) for the six months ended June 30, 2018 (in thousands): May 14 - June 30, 2018 Revenue $ 961 Net (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes (889 ) The following supplemental pro forma results are based on the individual historical results of RLH Corporation and KFS, with adjustments to give effect to the combined operations as if the acquisition had been consummated on January 1, 2017 (in thousands, except per share data) (unaudited): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 Revenue $ 39,573 $ 47,751 $ 74,534 $ 86,254 Net income (loss) (1,104 ) 574 7,781 (2,196 ) Net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) attributable to RLH Corporation (1,763 ) 433 2,372 (818 ) Earnings (loss) per share attributable to RLH Corporation - basic $ (0.07 ) $ 0.02 $ 0.10 $ (0.03 ) Earnings (loss) per share attributable to RLH Corporation - diluted $ (0.07 ) $ 0.02 $ 0.09 $ (0.03 ) We recognized acquisition related expenses of $1.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , and they are included within Acquisition and integration costs on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Vantage Acquisition Our 2016 Vantage acquisition included certain contingent consideration arrangements. During the second quarter of 2018, the Vantage acquisition agreement was amended to fix the second and final contingent consideration payment at $3.0 million to be paid in cash and 276,000 shares of RLH Corporation stock. The second year contingent consideration will be paid by October 5, 2018. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 we recognized $0.3 million and $0.4 million , respectively, within Acquisition and integration costs on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as a result of recording changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration.

The transaction represented a strategic shift that had a major impact on our financial statements. This was considered to be a strategic shift as we chose to exit the business segment entirely and focus on our growing franchise segment. In accordance with this strategic shift, the results of the entertainment business are reported as discontinued operations, and the assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale for all periods presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. We recognized a loss on sale of $0.2 million , net of tax of $1.1 million , in the fourth quarter of 2017, based on cash proceeds of $6.0 million , less estimated transaction costs of $0.7 million , and $4.4 million of net assets.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events Sale of Port Angeles Property On July 9, 2018, RL Port Angeles, LLC completed the sale of the Red Lion Hotel Port Angeles, in Port Angeles, Washington. The sale price for the hotel was $19.5 million , which was paid in cash at closing. At closing, an affiliate of the purchaser entered into a franchise agreement with Red Lion Hotels Franchising, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of RLH Corporation (RL Franchising). The franchise agreement provides for a 10 -year term and the payment of monthly royalty and program fees equal to a percentage of the hotel's gross room revenue. Termination of the franchise agreement by RL Franchising upon default of the franchisee, or termination of the agreement by the franchisee without cause, will require the franchisee to pay a termination fee. The estimated gain from the sale of the hotel is $11.5 million . Immediately following the sale of the hotel, our consolidated subsidiary RL Venture, using proceeds from this sale and cash reserves related to the debt, repaid $15.6 million in principal balance outstanding under its loan agreement with Pacific Western Bank. This payment fully retired the Pacific Western Bank debt. Sale of Spokane Hotel RL at The Park Property On July 16, 2018, RL Spokane, LLC completed the sale of the Red Lion Hotel at the Park, in Spokane, Washington. The sale price for the hotel was $35.0 million , which was paid in cash at closing. The estimated gain from the sale of the hotel is $14.8 million . RL Venture Cash Distributions On July 26, 2018, RL Venture distributed $37.5 million to its partners including $20.6 million to RLH Corporation. These funds are restricted cash under the DB Credit Agreement and may be used by us to pay down the related debt.

The results of operations for the periods presented may not be indicative of that which may be expected for a full year or for any other fiscal period.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenue is generally recognized as services are provided. Revenues are primarily derived from franchise contracts with third-party hotel owners, as well as from individual hotel guests and corporate patrons at our owned and leased hotels. Revenues are also derived from management of third-party owned hotels. The majority of compensation received for our performance obligations is variable consideration from our management and franchise contracts or fixed transactional guest consideration through our owned and leased hotels. We recognize the variable fees as the services to which they relate are delivered, applying the prescribed variable consideration allocation guidance. In certain circumstances we defer consideration and recognize consideration over time as the related performance obligations are satisfied. Franchised hotel revenues We identified the following services as one performance obligation in connection with our franchise contracts: • Intellectual Property (IP) licenses grant a non-exclusive, limited revocable license to the RLH trademarks and hotel names. • Manual and Training Services provide operational assistance unique to the RLH brands, business model and standards. • Reservation Services are provided through direct or indirect system access. • Marketing Services and Arrangements benefit the overall hotel network and include brand promotions, direct guest marketing, brand name marketing and various other programs targeted at advertising to guests. • Brand Conference is provided typically annually for third party owners to gather and attend educational seminars and brand informational presentations. The performance obligation related to franchise revenues is delivered over time. While the underlying services may vary from day to day, the nature of the promises are the same each day, other than the Brand Conference, which is recognized in the month the service is provided, and the property owner can independently benefit from each day's services. Franchise fees are typically based on the sales or usage of the underlying hotel, with the exception of fixed upfront fees that usually represent an insignificant portion of the transaction price. Franchised hotel revenues represent fees earned in connection with the licensing of one of our brands, usually under long-term contracts with the property owner, and include the following: • Royalty fees are generally based on a percentage of a hotel's monthly gross room revenue or a fixed monthly fee based on room count. These fees are typically billed and collected monthly, and revenue is generally recognized at the same time the fees are billed. • Application, initiation and other fees are charged when: (i) new hotels enter our system; (ii) there is a change of ownership; or (iii) contracts with properties already in our system are extended or modified. These fees are typically fixed and collected upfront and are recognized as revenue over the term of the franchise contract. • Reservations services/marketing expenses/other are associated with our brands and shared services, which are paid from fees collected by us from the franchised properties. Revenue is generally recognized on a gross basis as fees are billed, which are based on the underlying hotel's sales or usage (e.g., gross room revenues and number of reservations processed) and expenses are expected to equal the revenues over time. Any consideration paid or anticipated to be paid to incentivize hotel owners to enter into franchise contracts is capitalized and reduces revenues as amortized. The commission or directs costs of acquiring the contract or modification are recorded as contract acquisition costs and are recognized in franchise costs when amortized. Company operated hotels revenue We identified the following performance obligations in connection with our owned and leased hotel revenues, for which revenue is recognized as the respective performance obligations are satisfied, which results in recognizing the amount we expect to be entitled to for providing the goods or services to the hotel customer or guest: • Room reservations or ancillary services are typically satisfied as the good or service is transferred to the hotel guest, which is generally when the room stay occurs. • Other ancillary goods and services are purchased independently of the room reservation at standalone selling prices and are considered separate performance obligations, which are satisfied when the related good or service is provided to the hotel guest. • Hotel management fees represent fees earned from hotels that we manage, usually under long-term contracts with the property owner and are generally based on a percentage of a hotel's monthly gross revenue. Base fees are typically billed and collected monthly, and revenue is generally recognized at the same time the fees are billed. Company operated hotels revenue primarily consist of hotel room rentals, revenue from accommodations sold in conjunction with other services(e.g., package reservations), food and beverage sales and other ancillary goods and services (e.g., parking) related to owned, leased and consolidated non-wholly owned (joint venture) hotel properties and hotel management fees. Revenue is recognized when rooms are occupied or goods and services have been delivered or rendered, respectively. Payment terms typically align with when the goods and services are provided. The management fees from third-party hotel owners earned under the contract relate to a specific outcome of providing the services (e.g., hotel room sales). We use time as the measure of progress to recognize as revenue the fees that are allocated to the period earned per the contract. Revenue from managed properties Other revenue from managed properties includes direct reimbursements including payroll and related costs and certain other operating costs of the managed properties’ operations, which are contractually reimbursed to us by the property owners as expenses are incurred. Revenue is recognized based on the amount of expenses incurred by us and are presented as other expenses from managed hotels in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). These expenses are then reimbursed by the property owner typically on a monthly basis, which results in no net effect on operating income (loss) or net income (loss). Other revenues Other revenues include revenues generated by the incidental support of hotel operations for owned, leased, managed and franchised hotels, including purchasing operations, and other operating income. Taxes and fees collected on behalf of governmental agencies We are required to collect certain taxes and fees from customers on behalf of governmental agencies and remit these back to the applicable governmental agencies on a periodic basis. We have a legal obligation to act as a collection agent. We do not retain these taxes and fees and, therefore, they are not included in our measurement of transaction prices. We have elected to present revenue net of sales taxes and other similar taxes. We record a liability when the amounts are collected and relieve the liability when payments are made to the applicable taxing authority or other appropriate governmental agency.
New and Recent Accounting Pronouncements	New and Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , 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. We adopted the requirements of ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method, as permitted by the standard, resulting in a cumulative adjustment to accumulated deficit of $0.6 million . In implementation, we applied the transition guides to franchise agreements originated by us. No contract liability was recorded for franchise contracts that were acquired in prior business combinations or asset purchases. The provisions of ASU 2014-09 affected our revenue recognition as follows: • Application, initiation and other fees are recognized over the term of the franchise contract based on the first penalty free termination date, rather than upon execution of the contract. These fees are recognized in franchise hotel revenue. • Certain contract acquisition costs related to our management and franchise contracts are recognized over the term of the contracts rather than upon execution of the contract. The amortization of these costs is recognized in franchised hotel expenses. Information below represents the effect of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2018 and our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 (in thousands, except per share data).

The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required. We are still assessing the potential impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on our financial statements and disclosures. We had $77.8 million of operating lease obligations as of June 30, 2018 (see Note 10) and upon the adoption of the standard we expect to record an ROU asset and lease liability for present value of these leases, which will have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We have assessed the potential impact of other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards and determined that the provisions are either not applicable to us or are not anticipated to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value	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. 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 and capital lease obligations using expected future payments discounted at risk-adjusted rates, both of which are Level 3 inputs. 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. Cash, Restricted cash, and Accounts receivable carrying values approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items.

If we had reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 , 7,204 stock options would have been dilutive. If we had reported net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , no stock options would have been dilutive as a result of the RLH Corporation weighted average share price during the reporting periods. (2) Restricted stock units were anti-dilutive for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and three and six months ended June 30, 2017 due to the net loss attributable to RLH Corporation in the reporting periods. If we had reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 then 729,145 units would have been dilutive.
