Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Organization, Consolidation, Basis of Presentation, Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block]	1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc., together with its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a Virginia corporation that has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. The Company is a self-advised REIT that invests in income-producing real estate, primarily in the lodging sector, in the United States. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The Company has no foreign operations or assets and its operating structure includes only one reportable segment. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Although the Company has interests in potential variable interest entities through its purchase commitments, it is not the primary beneficiary as the Company does not have any elements of power in the decision making process of these entities, and therefore does not consolidate the entities. As of September 30, 2016, the Company owned 236 hotels with an aggregate of 30,299 rooms located in 33 states. On May 18, 2015, the Company’s common shares were listed and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “APLE” (the “Listing”). In connection with the Listing, effective May 18, 2015, the Company completed a 50% reverse share split. As a result of the reverse share split, every two common shares were converted into one common share. All common shares and per share amounts for all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect the reverse share split. See Note 8 for additional information about the reverse share split. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2016. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation with no effect on previously reported net income, shareholders’ equity or cash flows. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income includes net income and other comprehensive income (loss), which is comprised of unrealized gains (losses) and other adjustments resulting from hedging activity. Net Income Per Common Share Basic net income per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is calculated after giving effect to all potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding for the period. There were no potential common shares with a dilutive effect for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. As a result, basic and dilutive net income per common share were the same. Accounting Standards Recently Issued In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments

Disclosure Text Block Supplement [Abstract]
Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions Disclosures [Text Block]	2. Merger with Apple REIT Ten, Inc. Effective September 1, 2016, the Company completed its previously announced merger with Apple REIT Ten, Inc. (“Apple Ten”) (the “merger”), which merger and related transaction proposals were approved by each company’s respective shareholders, as applicable, on August 31, 2016. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into on April 13, 2016, as amended on July 13, 2016 (the “Merger Agreement”), Apple Ten merged with and into 34 Consolidated, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Acquisition Sub”), at which time the separate corporate existence of Apple Ten ceased and Acquisition Sub became the surviving corporation in the merger. Acquisition Sub was formed solely for the purpose of engaging in the merger and had not conducted any prior activities. Immediately following the effective time of the merger, the name of Acquisition Sub was changed to Apple REIT Ten, Inc. As a result of the merger, the Company acquired the business of Apple Ten, a real estate investment trust, which immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, owned 56 hotels located in 17 states with an aggregate of 7,209 rooms. Upon completion of the merger, each issued and outstanding unit of Apple Ten (consisting of a common share and related Series A preferred share) (each, an “Apple Ten unit”) was converted into the right to receive (i) 0.522 (the “unit exchange ratio”) common shares of the Company, with cash in lieu of fractional shares, and (ii) $1.00 in cash, and each issued and outstanding Series B convertible preferred share of Apple Ten was converted into the right to receive (i) a number of common shares of the Company equal to 12.11423 multiplied by the unit exchange ratio, with cash in lieu of fractional shares, and (ii) an amount in cash equal to 12.11423 multiplied by $1.00, resulting in the issuance of a total of approximately 48.7 million common shares of the Company and a total payment of approximately $93.6 million in cash, including $0.2 million for fractional shares, to Apple Ten shareholders. The cash payment was funded through borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit facility. The Company’s common shares totaling 174.7 million prior to the merger remained outstanding following the merger, resulting in approximately 223.4 million common shares outstanding upon completion of the merger. Also, as a result of the merger, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, assumed all of Apple Ten’s assets and liabilities at closing. The Company has accounted for the merger in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations As more fully described in Note 5, effective September 1, 2016, upon completion of the merger, the Company assumed approximately $145.7 million in mortgage debt, prior to any fair value adjustments, secured by nine properties. The Company also assumed the outstanding balance on Apple Ten’s credit facility totaling $111.1 million, which was terminated and repaid in full on September 1, 2016 with borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit facility. All costs related to the merger are being expensed in the period they are incurred and are included in transaction costs in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. In connection with the merger, the Company has incurred approximately $37.6 million in merger costs (including approximately $33.8 million of costs incurred to defend and reflect the proposed settlement (which remains subject to court approval) of the ongoing lawsuit related to the merger discussed in Note 10) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. In connection with the issuance of approximately 48.7 million common shares to effect the merger, the Company incurred approximately $1.2 million in issuance costs including legal, accounting and reporting services. These costs were recorded by the Company as a reduction of shareholders’ equity. As contemplated in the Merger Agreement, in connection with the completion of the merger, the advisory and related party arrangements with respect to Apple Ten and its advisors, as described in more detail in Note 7, were terminated. As more fully described below, the Company is in the process of finalizing its valuation of the acquired assets and liabilities for the merger, which is expected to be finalized during 2016. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation adjustments are preliminary and final estimates of fair value may be significantly different from these preliminary estimates. The following table summarizes the Company’s preliminary purchase price allocation for the merger, which represents its best estimate of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on September 1, 2016, the effective date of the merger (in thousands): Purchase Price Allocation Assets: Land $ 151,200 Building and improvements 1,065,859 Furniture, fixtures and equipment 75,445 Franchise fees 2,917 Investment in real estate 1,295,421 Restricted cash, due from third party managers and other assets 33,579 Total assets 1,329,000 Liabilities: Credit facility 111,100 Mortgage debt 151,885 Accounts payable and other liabilities 16,339 Total liabilities 279,324 Fair value estimate of net assets acquired (total consideration paid) $ 1,049,676 The preliminary allocation of the purchase price requires a significant amount of judgment and was based upon valuations and other analyses described below that are currently being finalized. The Company has engaged a valuation firm to assist in the analysis. The methodologies and significant inputs and assumptions used in deriving estimates of fair value vary and are based on the nature of the tangible or intangible asset acquired or liability assumed. The fair value of land, building and improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and identifiable intangible assets was developed based on the cost approach, market approach or income approach depending on available information and compared to a secondary approach when possible. The fair value of debt was estimated based on contractual future cash flows discounted using borrowing spreads and market interest rates that would be available to the Company as of the acquisition date for the issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. Significant inputs and assumptions associated with these approaches included estimates of future operating cash flows and discount rates based on an evaluation of both observable market data (categorized as Level 2 inputs under the fair value hierarchy) and unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own internal assumptions and calculations (categorized as Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy). No goodwill was recorded in connection with the merger. In connection with the merger, the Company acquired four properties with three existing ground leases, with remaining terms of approximately 26, 46 and 84 years, excluding any option periods to extend the initial lease term. The Company has the option to extend the term of the lease with 26 years remaining beyond its initial term up to four times for 30 years each renewal period. There are no renewal options on the other leases. The three leases assumed were valued at below market rates and as a result the Company recorded intangible assets totaling approximately $10.0 million, which are included in other assets, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The value of each lease intangible is amortized over the term of the respective lease and the amortization is included in ground lease expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The ground leases are classified as operating leases, and rental expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the respective lease. The aggregate amounts of the estimated minimum lease payments pertaining to all of the ground leases assumed in the merger, for the five years subsequent to September 30, 2016 and thereafter are as follows (in thousands): 2016 (October - December) $ 82 2017 409 2018 435 2019 440 2020 440 Thereafter 60,099 Total $ 61,905 The following unaudited pro forma information for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, is presented as if the merger, effective September 1, 2016, had occurred on January 1, 2015, and is based on assumptions and estimates considered appropriate by the Company. The pro forma information is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily reflect what the operating results would have been had the merger been completed on January 1, 2015, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results. The pro forma information does not give effect to any cost synergies or other operating efficiencies that could result from the merger. Amounts are in thousands except per share data. Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 2015 2016 2015 Total revenue $ 325,924 $ 309,835 $ 949,760 $ 885,015 Net income $ 59,981 $ 61,057 $ 177,183 $ 173,419 Basic and diluted net income per common share $ 0.27 $ 0.27 $ 0.79 $ 0.75 Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic and diluted 223,403 223,799 223,399 230,977 For purposes of calculating these pro forma amounts, merger transaction costs totaling approximately $36.4 million and $37.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, were excluded from the pro forma amounts since these costs are attributable to the merger and related transactions and do not have an ongoing impact to the statements of operations.

Real Estate [Abstract]
Real Estate Disclosure [Text Block]	3. Investment in Real Estate The Company’s investment in real estate consisted of the following (in thousands): September 30, December 31, 2016 2015 Land $ 713,559 $ 561,630 Building and Improvements 4,304,705 3,200,918 Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment 391,151 293,444 Franchise Fees 11,774 8,832 5,421,189 4,064,824 Less Accumulated Depreciation (526,973 ) (423,057 ) Investment in Real Estate, net $ 4,894,216 $ 3,641,767 As of September 30, 2016, the Company owned 236 hotels with an aggregate of 30,299 rooms located in 33 states. Effective September 1, 2016, the Company completed the merger with Apple Ten, which added 56 hotels, located in 17 states, with an aggregate of 7,209 rooms. As shown in the table setting forth the preliminary purchase price allocation for the merger in Note 2, the total real estate value of the merger was estimated to be approximately $1.3 billion. The purchase price allocation is based on preliminary measurements of fair value and is subject to change. The purchase price allocation for the merger represents the Company’s best estimate of fair value and the Company expects to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocation during 2016. On July 1, 2016, the Company closed on the purchase of a newly constructed 128-room Home2 Suites hotel in Atlanta, Georgia, the same day the hotel opened for business, for a purchase price of approximately $24.6 million. The Company used borrowings under its revolving credit facility to purchase the hotel. No goodwill was recorded in connection with this acquisition. For the 57 hotels acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 (including the 56 hotels acquired in the merger and one hotel acquired on July 1, 2016), the amount of revenue and operating income (excluding merger and other acquisition related transaction costs) included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations from the date of acquisition through September 30, 2016 was approximately $25.0 million and $9.5 million, respectively. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, the Company acquired five hotels. The following table sets forth the location, brand, manager, date acquired, number of rooms and gross purchase price for each hotel acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. All dollar amounts are in thousands. City State Brand Manager Date Acquired Rooms Gross Purchase Price (1) Fort Lauderdale FL Hampton Inn LBA 6/23/2015 156 $ 23,000 Cypress CA Hampton Inn Dimension 6/29/2015 110 19,800 Burbank CA SpringHill Suites Marriott 7/13/2015 170 60,000 Burbank CA Courtyard Huntington 8/11/2015 190 54,000 San Diego CA Courtyard Huntington 9/1/2015 245 56,000 871 $ 212,800 (1) The Company leases all of its hotels to its wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary (or a subsidiary thereof) under master hotel lease agreements. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had outstanding contracts for the potential purchase of three additional hotels for a total purchase price of $56.5 million. All three hotels are under construction and are expected to be completed and opened for business in the first half of 2017, at which time closing on these hotels is expected to occur. Although the Company is working towards acquiring these three hotels, there are many conditions to closing that have not yet been satisfied and there can be no assurance that a closing on these hotels will occur under the outstanding purchase contracts. The following table summarizes the location, brand, date of purchase contract, expected number of rooms, refundable (if the seller does not meet its obligations under the contract) contract deposits paid, and gross purchase price for each of the contracts outstanding at September 30, 2016. All dollar amounts are in thousands. Location Brand Date of Purchase Contract Rooms Refundable Deposits Gross Purchase Price Birmingham, AL (a)(b) Home2 Suites 8/28/2015 105 $ 3 $ 19,219 Birmingham, AL (a)(b) Hilton Garden Inn 8/28/2015 105 2 19,219 Fort Worth, TX (a) Courtyard 8/28/2015 124 5 18,034 334 $ 10 $ 56,472 (a) As of September 30, 2016, these hotels were under construction. The table shows the expected number of rooms upon hotel completion and the expected franchise brands. Assuming all conditions to closing are met, the purchases of these hotels are expected to close in the first half of 2017. If the seller meets all of the conditions to closing, the Company is obligated to specifically perform under the contract. As the property is under construction, at this time, the seller has not met all of the conditions to closing. (b) The Home2 Suites and Hilton Garden Inn hotels in Birmingham, AL are part of an adjoining two-hotel complex located on the same site. As there can be no assurance that all conditions to closing will be satisfied, the Company includes deposits paid for hotels under contract in other assets, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, and in deposits and other disbursements for potential acquisitions in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company intends to use borrowings under its $540 million revolving credit facility to purchase hotels under contract if a closing occurs. During the third quarter of 2016, the Company identified two properties for potential sale (the Dallas, Texas Hilton hotel and the Chesapeake, Virginia Marriott hotel). In October 2016, the Company entered into separate contracts for the sale of these properties for a total combined gross sales price of approximately $66.3 million. The contracts are subject to a number of conditions to closing and therefore there can be no assurance that closings will occur. If the closings occur, each of these sales are expected to be completed within three to six months of September 30, 2016. At closing, the mortgage loan secured by the Dallas, Texas Hilton hotel, with an outstanding balance of approximately $27.4 million as of September 30, 2016, would be assumed by the buyer with the buyer receiving a credit for the amount assumed. The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the sale to pay down borrowings on its revolving credit facility. Due to the change in the anticipated hold period for each of these hotels, the Company reviewed the estimated undiscounted cash flows generated by each property (including its sale price, net of commissions and other selling costs) and determined that the Chesapeake, Virginia Marriott’s estimated undiscounted cash flows were less than its carrying value; therefore the Company recognized an impairment loss of approximately $5.5 million in the third quarter of 2016 to adjust the basis of this property to its estimated fair value, which was based on the contracted sale price, net of broker commissions and other estimated selling costs, a Level 1 input under the fair value hierarchy. If both closings occur, the total combined net gain resulting from these two sales is estimated to be approximately $11.4 million. The estimated net gain is calculated as the total combined sales price, net of commissions and selling costs, less the third quarter 2016 impairment loss noted above and a combined net book value totaling approximately $48.9 million as of September 30, 2016. Since the contracts for the sales of these properties had not been finalized as of September 30, 2016, the assets and liabilities related to these properties have not been classified as held for sale in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2016.

Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block]	4. Dispositions During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company sold 19 properties in two separate transactions for a total sales price of approximately $208.5 million, resulting in a gain on sale of approximately $15.4 million, which is included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The proceeds from the sale transactions were used primarily to repay the outstanding balance under the Company’s revolving credit facility, with the increased availability used to fund hotel acquisitions during 2015. The Company’s consolidated statements of operations include operating income of approximately $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 relating to results of operations for the 19 hotels for the respective periods of ownership (the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2015 did not contain any operating activity for these hotels, as they were sold prior to the beginning of the period). There were no dispositions during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt Disclosure [Text Block]	5. Debt $965 Million Credit Facility On May 18, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment and restatement of its unsecured $345 million credit facility, increasing the borrowing capacity to $965 million, reducing the annual interest rate and extending the maturity dates. The unsecured “$965 million credit facility” is comprised of (i) a $540 million revolving credit facility with an initial maturity date of May 18, 2019 (the “revolving credit facility”) and (ii) a $425 million term loan facility with a maturity date of May 18, 2020, consisting of three term loans, of which $212.5 million was funded on May 18, 2015, $110.0 million was funded on July 1, 2015, and $102.5 million was funded on August 14, 2015 (the “$425 million term loans”). Subject to certain conditions including covenant compliance and additional fees, the revolving credit facility maturity date may be extended one year and the amount of the total credit facility may be increased from $965 million to $1.25 billion. The Company may make voluntary prepayments in whole or in part, at any time. Interest payments on the $965 million credit facility are due monthly and the interest rate, subject to certain exceptions, is equal to an annual rate of the one-month LIBOR (the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate for a one-month term) plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.30%, depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as calculated under the terms of the credit agreement. In conjunction with the $425 million term loans, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements, which effectively fix the interest rate on $322.5 million of the outstanding balance at approximately 3.10%, subject to adjustment based on the Company’s leverage ratio, through maturity. See Note 6 for more information on the interest rate swap agreements. The Company is also required to pay quarterly an unused facility fee at an annual rate of 0.20% or 0.30% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility, based on the amount of borrowings outstanding during the quarter. $150 Million Term Loan Facility On April 8, 2016, the Company entered into an unsecured $150 million term loan facility with a syndicate of commercial banks (the “$150 million term loan facility”), consisting of a term loan of up to $50 million that will mature on April 8, 2021 (the “$50 million term loan”) and a term loan of up to $100 million that will mature on April 8, 2023 (the “$100 million term loan,” and collectively with the $50 million term loan, the “$150 million term loans”). The Company initially borrowed $50 million under the $150 million term loan facility on April 8, 2016 and borrowed the remaining $100 million on September 30, 2016. The credit agreement contains requirements and covenants similar to the Company’s $965 million credit facility. The Company may make voluntary prepayments in whole or in part, at any time, subject to certain conditions. Interest payments on the $150 million term loan facility are due monthly and the interest rate is equal to an annual rate of the one-month LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.45% to 2.20% for the $50 million term loan and 1.80% to 2.60% for the $100 million term loan, depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as calculated under the terms of the credit agreement. The Company also entered into two interest rate swap agreements which, beginning on September 30, 2016, effectively fix the interest rate on the $50 million term loan and $100 million term loan at 2.54% and 3.13%, respectively, subject to adjustment based on the Company’s leverage ratio, through maturity. See Note 6 for more information on the interest rate swap agreements. Proceeds from the $150 million term loan facility were used to pay down outstanding balances under the Company’s revolving credit facility with the intent to use the increased availability to repay scheduled mortgage debt maturities through the end of the first quarter of 2017. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the details of the Company’s revolving credit facility, $425 million term loans and $150 million term loans were as set forth below. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

(2) Annual variable interest rate at the balance sheet date. (3) Effective annual interest rate which includes the effect of interest rate swaps on $322.5 million of the outstanding loan balance, resulting in an annual fixed interest rate of approximately 3.10% on this portion of the debt, subject to adjustment based on the Company’s leverage ratio. See Note 6 for more information on the interest rate swap agreements. Remaining portion is variable rate debt. (4) Annual fixed interest rate at the balance sheet date which includes the effect of an interest rate swap on the outstanding loan balance, subject to adjustment based on the Company’s leverage ratio. See Note 6 for more information on the interest rate swap agreements. The credit agreements governing the $965 million credit facility and $150 million term loan facility contain mandatory prepayment requirements, customary affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default. The credit agreements require that the Company comply with various covenants, which include, among others, a minimum tangible net worth, maximum debt limits, minimum interest and fixed charge coverage ratios, limits on dividend payments and share repurchases and restrictions on certain investments. The Company was in compliance with the applicable covenants at September 30, 2016. Mortgage Debt As of September 30, 2016, the Company had approximately $474.3 million in outstanding property level debt secured by 34 properties, with maturity dates ranging from November 2016 to June 2026, stated interest rates ranging from 0% to 6.25% and effective interest rates ranging from 3.80% to 6.52%. The loans generally provide for monthly payments of principal and interest on an amortized basis. The loans are generally subject to defeasance or prepayment penalties if prepaid. The following table sets forth the hotel properties securing each loan, the interest rate, loan assumption or origination date, maturity date, the principal amount assumed or originated, and the outstanding balance prior to any fair value adjustments or debt issuance costs as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 for each of the Company’s debt obligations.

This assumed mortgage debt had maturity dates ranging from February 2017 to October 2025 and stated interest rates ranging from 4.15% to 6.25%. A fair value premium adjustment totaling approximately $6.2 million was recorded upon the assumption of above market rate mortgages. The total fair value adjustment will be amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining term of the respective mortgages using a method approximating the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rates on the applicable debt obligations ranged from 3.80% to 4.23% at the date of assumption. The Company incurred loan origination costs related to the assumption of the mortgage obligations totaling approximately $0.6 million. Such costs are amortized over the period to maturity of the applicable mortgage loan, as an addition to interest expense.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Except as described below, the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Debt The Company estimates the fair value of its debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates consistent with the maturity of a debt obligation with similar credit terms and credit characteristics, which are Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. Market rates take into consideration general market conditions and maturity. As of September 30, 2016, the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt were approximately $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, both the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt were approximately $1.0 billion. Both the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt (as discussed above) is net of unamortized debt issue costs related to term loans and mortgage debt for each specific year. Derivative Instruments Currently, the Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risks on variable rate debt. Throughout the terms of these interest rate swaps, the Company pays a fixed rate of interest and receives a floating rate of interest equal to the one month LIBOR. The swaps are designed to effectively fix the interest payments on variable rate debt instruments. These instruments are recorded at fair value and are included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts, which is considered a Level 2 measurement under the fair value hierarchy. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The following table sets forth information for each of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements outstanding as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. All dollar amounts are in thousands. Fair Value (Liability) Hedge Type Notional Amount at Assumption or Maturity Date Swap Fixed Interest Rate September 30, 2016 December 31, 2015 Non-designated hedge $ 0 3/1/2014 (1) 1.10 % $ 0 $ (134 ) Cash flow hedge (2) 212,500 5/21/2015 5/18/2020 1.58 % (5,319 ) (1,233 ) Cash flow hedge (2) 110,000 7/2/2015 5/18/2020 1.62 % (2,910 ) (824 ) Cash flow hedge (2) 50,000 4/7/2016 3/31/2021 1.09 % (298 ) 0 Cash flow hedge (2) 100,000 4/7/2016 3/31/2023 1.33 % (1,464 ) 0 Cash flow hedge 0 5/9/2016 (3) 1.72 % 0 0 $ (9,991 ) $ (2,191 ) (1) On June 15, 2016, the Company repaid the related mortgage note and terminated this swap agreement. As part of this termination, the Company paid the fair value of the swap, approximately $0.1 million, to satisfy the outstanding liability at the time of termination. (2) In May 2015 and July 2015, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with a commercial bank for the same notional amounts as its $212.5 million term loan and its $110 million term loan. In April 2016, the Company entered into forward interest rate swap agreements with a commercial bank, which beginning on September 30, 2016 effectively fixes the interest rate on the $50 million term loan and $100 million term loan. See Note 5 for more information on the term loans. Each of these swaps has been designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes. (3) In May 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a commercial bank for the same notional amount as a $24 million variable-rate mortgage loan. On August 10, 2016, the lender exercised its option to convert the loan to a fixed-rate mortgage loan at 4.37% (the same annual fixed-rate as the swapped mortgage loan prior to the conversion) and simultaneously assumed the swap at no cost or further liability to the Company. Prior to the conversion, the swap was designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes and the change in fair value, which resulted in an unrealized loss totaling approximately $1.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016, was recorded to other comprehensive income (loss). As a result of the conversion, the outstanding liability as of June 30, 2016 totaling approximately $1.0 million was recorded to other comprehensive income (loss) as an unrealized gain during the three months ended September 30, 2016. The Company assesses, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of its qualifying cash flow hedges. For swaps designated as cash flow hedges, the changes in fair value on the effective portion are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of shareholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value on the ineffective portion of all designated hedges are recorded to interest and other expense, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. For terminated or matured swaps that were not designated as cash flow hedges (including four swaps, of which two matured or terminated in the first quarter of 2015, one terminated in the second quarter of 2015 and one terminated in the second quarter of 2016), the changes in fair value were recorded to interest and other expense, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Other than the fair value changes associated with the terminated interest rate swap for which hedge accounting was discontinued during the first half of 2015 as discussed below, fair value changes for derivatives that were not in qualifying hedge relationships for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were not material. To adjust qualifying cash flow hedges to their fair value and recognize the impact of hedge accounting, the Company recorded unrealized gains (losses) of approximately $4.3 million and $(6.0) million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and approximately $(7.9) million and $(6.4) million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, to other comprehensive income (loss). There was no ineffectiveness recorded on designated cash flow hedges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified to interest and other expense, net as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate derivatives. The Company reclassified unrealized losses of approximately $0.9 million and $0.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and unrealized losses of approximately $2.9 million and $1.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest and other expense, net. Approximately $3.9 million of the net unrealized losses included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at September 30, 2016 is expected to be reclassified into interest and other expense, net within the next 12 months. Also, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company reclassified $0.8 million of unrealized losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net income which was associated with the $100 million terminated swap agreement as discussed below. Amounts recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss totaled approximately $10.0 million and $2.1 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. 2015 Terminated Interest Rate Swap In May 2015, concurrent with the Listing, the Company amended and restated its credit facility, at which time it repaid its $100 million term loan and terminated its $100 million interest rate swap, which was scheduled to mature in March 2019. At inception, this swap was designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes, and from inception of the swap through March 2, 2015, the swap was a fully effective hedge, and therefore the changes in the fair value through this date were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of shareholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, which totaled $0.8 million as of March 2, 2015. In the first quarter of 2015, the Company announced its intent to pursue a listing of its common shares on a national securities exchange and to enter into a modified credit facility and, as a result of this decision, it was determined that the cash flows being hedged were no longer probable of occurring through the maturity date of the swap. Therefore, the Company discontinued hedge accounting, and subsequent changes in fair value were recorded to interest and other expense, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The termination of the swap in May 2015 resulted in a cash settlement totaling approximately $1.1 million, the fair value at the time of settlement. As a result, the Company realized a loss of approximately $1.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 related to the swap termination, of which approximately $0.8 million previously recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss ($0.3 million was recorded during the first quarter of 2015) was reclassified as an increase to transaction costs with the remaining amount recorded to interest and other expense, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Below is a summary of the related party relationships in effect and transactions that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. Prior to the merger, Glade M. Knight, Executive Chairman of the Company, was Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Apple Ten. Apple Ten’s advisors, A10A and Apple Realty Group, Inc., formerly known as Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc. (“ARG”), are wholly owned by Mr. Knight. Mr. Knight is also a partner and Chief Executive Officer of Energy 11 GP, LLC, which is the general partner of Energy 11, L.P. Justin G. Knight, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, also served as President of Apple Ten prior to the merger. Merger and Related Transactions As contemplated in the Merger Agreement, in connection with the completion of the merger, the advisory and related party arrangements with respect to the Company, Apple Ten and Apple Ten’s advisors, A10A and ARG, were terminated. Pursuant to the terms of the termination agreement, dated April 13, 2013, the advisory agreement, property acquisition/disposition agreement and subcontract agreement with respect to the Company, Apple Ten, A10A and ARG, discussed below, were terminated effective immediately after the effective time of the merger on September 1, 2016, and no fees were paid as a result of the termination of these agreements. As a result, Apple Ten no longer pays the various fees that were paid to the Company under the subcontract agreement and A10A no longer subcontracts its advisory services to the Company. Additionally, effective September 1, 2016, Apple Ten no longer has any advisory contracts with A10A or ARG. Both the advisory fees and reimbursed costs received by the Company from Apple Ten were recorded as general and administrative expense by Apple Ten and reductions to general and administrative expense by the Company and, therefore, the termination of the subcontract agreement had no financial impact on the combined company after the effective time of the merger. Subsequent to the merger, the Company will continue to provide support services to ARG for activities unrelated to Apple Ten. Also, as discussed below, upon completion of the merger, Apple Ten’s 26% interest in Apple Air was acquired by the Company. As part of the merger transaction, the officers and Executive Chairman of the Company received a combined 3.1 million common shares of the Company and $6.0 million in exchange for their ownership interests in Apple Ten, including amounts assigned to others. Subcontract Agreement with A10A Prior to the Merger Prior to the merger, the Company had a subcontract agreement with A10A. Under the agreement, A10A subcontracted its obligations under its advisory agreement with Apple Ten to the Company. The Company provided to Apple Ten the advisory services contemplated under the A10A advisory agreement and received an annual fee ranging from 0.1% to 0.25% (based on Apple Ten’s operating results) of total equity proceeds received by Apple Ten, and was reimbursed by Apple Ten for the use of the Company’s employees and corporate office and other costs associated with the advisory agreement, as described below. Prior to the merger, advisory fees earned by the Company from Apple Ten for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 totaled approximately $1.6 million and $1.9 million, and are recorded as a reduction to general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Support Services to Apple Ten, A10A and ARG Prior to and After the Merger Prior to the merger, the Company provided support services to Apple Ten and its advisors, A10A and ARG, which agreed to reimburse the Company for its costs in providing these services. After the merger, the Company will continue to provide support services to ARG for activities unrelated to Apple Ten. Total reimbursed costs received by the Company from these entities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 (including Apple Ten, A10A and ARG prior to September 1, 2016 and ARG thereafter) totaled approximately $2.3 million and $2.1 million, respectively, and are recorded as a reduction to general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2016, total amounts due from ARG for activities unrelated to Apple Ten, and as of December 31, 2015, total amounts due from Apple Ten, A10A and ARG for reimbursements under the cost sharing structure totaled approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and are included in other assets, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Under this cost sharing structure, amounts reimbursed to the Company include both compensation for personnel and office related costs (including office rent, utilities, office supplies, etc.) used by each company during these periods. The amounts reimbursed to the Company are based on a good faith estimate of the proportionate amount of time incurred by the Company’s employees on behalf of Apple Ten, A10A and ARG prior to the merger, and ARG for activities unrelated to Apple Ten after the merger. Effective September 1, 2016, as part of the cost sharing arrangement, certain day-to-day transactions may result in amounts due to or from the Company and ARG for activities unrelated to Apple Ten. To efficiently manage cash disbursements, the Company or ARG may make payments for the other company. Under the cash management process, each company may advance or defer up to $1 million at any time. Each quarter, any outstanding amounts are settled between the companies. This process allows each company to minimize its cash on hand and reduces the cost for each company. The amounts outstanding at any point in time are not significant to either of the companies. Prior to the merger, Apple Ten, A10A and ARG (for activities both related and unrelated to Apple Ten) were part of the cost sharing structure and participated in this cash management process. Apple Air Holding, LLC (“Apple Air”) The Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Apple Air, owns a Learjet used primarily for acquisition, asset management, renovation and public relations purposes. Prior to the merger, Apple Air was jointly owned by the Company (74%) and Apple Ten (26%), with Apple Ten’s ownership interest accounted for as a minority interest, which as of December 31, 2015, totaled approximately $0.7 million, and was included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Effective September 1, 2016, with the completion of the merger, the Company acquired Apple Ten’s 26% equity interest in Apple Air for a total allocated purchase price of approximately $0.7 million, which approximated the fair market value at the time of acquisition based on third party market comparisons, resulting in a 100% equity ownership interest in Apple Air and the elimination of Apple Ten’s minority interest. The aircraft is also leased to affiliates of the Company based on third party rates, which was not significant during the reporting periods. The Company also utilizes aircraft, owned through two entities, one of which is owned by the Company’s Executive Chairman, and the other, its President and Chief Executive Officer, for acquisition, asset management, renovation and public relations purposes, and reimburses these entities at third party rates. Total amounts incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, related to aircraft owned through these two entities and are included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Shareholders’ Equity Distributions For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company paid distributions of $0.30 per common share for a total of $57.2 million and $52.6 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company paid distributions of $0.90 and $0.97 per common share for a total of $161.9 million and $176.8 million, respectively. Additionally, in September 2016, the Company declared a monthly distribution of $0.10 per common share, totaling $22.3 million, which was recorded as a payable as of September 30, 2016 and paid in October 2016. As of December 31, 2015, a monthly distribution of $0.10 per common share, totaling $17.4 million, was recorded as a payable and paid in January 2016. These accrued distributions were included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s current annual distribution rate, payable monthly, is $1.20 per common share. On April 23, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors, in anticipation of the Listing, reduced the annual distribution rate from $1.36 per common share to the current annual distribution rate, effective with the June 2015 distribution. Reverse Share Split In connection with the Listing, effective May 18, 2015, the Company completed a 50% reverse share split. As a result of the reverse share split, every two common shares were converted into one common share, reducing the number of issued and outstanding common shares from 372.2 million to 186.1 million on the effective date. The common shares have the same respective voting rights, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions as set forth in the amended and restated articles of incorporation in effect immediately prior to the effective date of the reverse share split. All common shares and per share amounts for all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect the reverse share split. Issuance of Common Shares and Stock Options On September 1, 2016, in connection with the completion of the merger, as described in Note 2, the Company issued a total of 48.7 million common shares to Apple Ten shareholders. Based on the $19.62 per share closing price of the Company’s common shares on August 31, 2016 (the date the merger was approved), the total estimated value of the common shares issued by the Company in the merger was approximately $956.1 million. In connection with the issuance of these shares, the Company incurred approximately $1.2 million in issuance costs including legal, accounting and reporting services. These costs were recorded by the Company as a reduction of shareholders’ equity. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, all of Apple Ten’s outstanding stock options were exchanged for stock options to acquire a total of 203,041 common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $19.17 per share. Share Repurchases In connection with the Listing, the Board of Directors approved a modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer to purchase up to $200 million in value of the Company’s common shares (the “Tender Offer”), which commenced on May 18, 2015 and expired on June 22, 2015. Upon expiration, the Company accepted for purchase approximately 10.5 million of its common shares, at a purchase price of $19.00 per common share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $200 million, excluding fees and expenses related to the Tender Offer. The total common shares accepted for purchase represented approximately 97% of the common shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn at the purchase price of $19.00 per common share. Payment for shares accepted for purchase occurred on June 24, 2015, and the shares purchased were retired. The Company incurred approximately $0.6 million in costs related to the Tender Offer which were recorded as a reduction to shareholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company funded the Tender Offer and all related costs primarily from borrowings under its $965 million credit facility. During 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $500 million through July 7, 2016. Effective July 8, 2015, as part of the implementation of the program, the Company established a written trading plan (“2015 Plan”) that provided for share repurchases in open market transactions that was intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. To be able to more effectively respond to market conditions, the Company terminated the 2015 Plan in January 2016. From implementation through the termination of the 2015 Plan, the Company purchased approximately 1.3 million of its common shares under the 2015 Plan, at a weighted-average market purchase price of approximately $17.62 per common share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $22.4 million, including the purchase of approximately 20,000 of its common shares in January 2016, at a weighted-average market purchase price of approximately $18.10 per common share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $0.4 million and approximately 1.2 million of its common shares in the third quarter of 2015 at a weighted-average market purchase price of approximately $17.59 per common share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $21.2 million. In June 2016, the Board of Directors approved a one-year extension of the share repurchase program authorizing share repurchases up to an aggregate of $475 million. The program may be suspended or terminated at any time by the Company. If not terminated earlier, the program will end in July 2017. Effective September 2, 2016, as part of the implementation of this program, the Company established a written trading plan (“2016 Plan”) that provides for share repurchases up to an aggregate of $400 million in open market transactions that is intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing of share repurchases and the number of common shares to be repurchased under the 2016 Plan will depend upon prevailing market conditions, regulatory requirements and other factors. The 2016 Plan does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be suspended at any time at its discretion. The Company had not repurchased any common shares under the 2016 Plan as of September 30, 2016. Repurchases under the 2015 Plan have been funded, and the Company intends to fund repurchases under the 2016 Plan, with availability under its revolving credit facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company redeemed approximately 0.8 million common shares at a price of $18.40 per common share, or a total of approximately $14.9 million under its previous share redemption program that was terminated following the April 2015 redemption.

Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans [Text Block]	9. Compensation Plans In May 2014, the Board of Directors adopted the Company’s 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”), and in May 2015, the Company’s shareholders approved the Omnibus Plan. In February 2016, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (“Compensation Committee”) approved an executive incentive plan (“2016 Incentive Plan”), effective January 1, 2016, and established incentive goals for 2016. Under the 2016 Incentive Plan, participants are eligible to receive a bonus based on the achievement of certain 2016 performance measures, consisting of operational performance metrics (including targeted Modified Funds from Operations per share, Comparable Hotels revenue per available room growth and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA Margin growth) and shareholder return metrics (including shareholder return relative to a peer group and total shareholder return). The components of the operational performance metrics and shareholder return metrics are equally weighted and the two metrics each account for 50% of the total target incentive compensation. The range of potential aggregate payouts under the 2016 Incentive Plan is $0 - $15 million. Based on performance through September 30, 2016, the Company has accrued approximately $2.8 million as a liability for potential executive bonus payments under the 2016 Incentive Plan, which is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016 and in general and administrative expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. As a result of lower anticipated 2016 performance, during the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company reduced the previously recorded accrual by approximately $0.8 million, resulting in a reduction to general and administrative expense for the period. Approximately 25% of awards under the 2016 Incentive Plan, if any, will be paid in cash, and 75% will be issued in stock under the Omnibus Plan, two-thirds of which would vest at the end of 2016 and one-third of which would vest at the end of 2017. During 2015, a comparable executive incentive plan was approved by the Compensation Committee (“2015 Incentive Plan”) that was effective January 1, 2015, and the Company recorded approximately $2.6 million and $5.8 million in general and administrative expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. Share Based Compensation Awards During the first quarter of 2016, the Company issued 304,345 common shares earned under the 2015 Incentive Plan (net of shares surrendered to satisfy tax withholding obligations) at $19.87 per share, or approximately $6.0 million in share based compensation. Of the total shares issued, 146,279 shares were unrestricted at the time of issuance, and the remaining 158,066 restricted shares will vest on December 31, 2016. Of the total 2015 share based compensation, approximately $4.5 million was recorded as a liability as of December 31, 2015, which was included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and the remaining $1.6 million, which is subject to vesting on December 31, 2016, will be recognized as compensation expense proportionately throughout 2016. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized approximately $0.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of share based compensation expense related to the unvested restricted share awards.

(“Apple Eight”), now part of the Company, filed a class action against the Company and several individual directors on behalf of all then-existing shareholders and former shareholders of Apple Seven and Apple Eight, now part of the Company, who purchased additional shares under the Apple REITs’ Dividend Reinvestment Plans (“DRIP”) between July 17, 2007 and February 12, 2014 (Susan Moses, et al. v. Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc., et al., On March 9, 2015, the Court entered a Memorandum and Order dismissing all claims. On April 6, 2015, Plaintiff filed a Second Amended Class Action Complaint asserting a breach of contract claim. Defendants moved to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on April 29, 2015 and briefing on the motion was completed on May 27, 2015. On September 30, 2016, the Court denied defendants’ Motion to Dismiss the breach of contract claim and dismissed the claim for breach of an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Defendants filed their Answer on October 14, 2016 and an initial conference is scheduled for February 7, 2017. The Company believes that Plaintiff’s claims are without merit and intends to defend this case vigorously. At this time, the Company cannot reasonably predict the outcome of these proceedings or provide a reasonable estimate of the possible loss or range of loss due to these proceedings, if any. Quinn v. Knight, et al. On July 19, 2016, a purported shareholder of Apple Ten, now part of the Company, commenced a derivative action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, captioned and numbered Quinn v. Knight, et al, Case No. 3:16-cv-610 (the "Complaint"). The Complaint names as defendants the members of Apple Ten's board of directors (the "Directors"), certain officers of Apple Ten and the Company (collectively, the "Officers"), the Company and, as a nominal defendant, Apple Ten. The Complaint makes various allegations against the Directors, the Officers and the Company, including that (i) the Directors breached their fiduciary duties of loyalty and good faith in approving the merger by, among other things, a conflicted process that favored certain insiders and including materially false, incomplete and misleading statements in the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus in connection with the merger and (ii) the Company and the Officers aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. The Complaint sought to enjoin the shareholder vote on the merger, and currently seeks damages, rescission, costs and attorney's fees. On July 22, 2016, plaintiff filed a motion for expedited proceedings. On August 5, 2016, the Court scheduled a hearing for August 26, 2016 on the plaintiff's motion to enjoin the shareholder vote on the merger. Plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction was denied following the hearing on August 26, 2016 and the shareholder vote on the merger occurred as originally scheduled on August 31, 2016. On November 2, 2016, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the litigation for $32 million, which settlement remains subject to final court approval. The Company has included the settlement amount in accounts payable and other liabilities in its consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016 and in transaction costs in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company anticipates that, should the settlement be completed, approximately $10 million to $15 million of the settlement amount would be funded from insurance proceeds and other parties to the settlement. Since specific amounts have not been agreed to at this time these anticipated amounts have not been recognized in the Company’s financial statements.

Subsequent Events [Text Block]	11. Subsequent Events In October 2016, the Company paid approximately $22.3 million, or $0.10 per outstanding common share, in distributions to its common shareholders. In October 2016, the Company declared a regular monthly cash distribution of $0.10 per common share for the month of November 2016. The distribution is payable on November 15, 2016. In October 2016, the Company entered into separate contracts for the sale of two properties (the Dallas, Texas Hilton hotel and the Chesapeake, Virginia Marriott hotel) for a total gross sales price of approximately $66.3 million. See Note 3 for more information on these contracts. In October 2016, the Company entered into a contract for the potential purchase of a hotel to be constructed in Phoenix, Arizona, for a gross purchase price of $44.1 million. The hotel is planned to be a Hampton Inn & Suites which is expected to contain 210 guest rooms. Although the Company is working towards acquiring this hotel, there are many conditions to closing that have not yet been satisfied, and there can be no assurance that a closing on this hotel will occur. In November 2016, the Company entered into a $70.0 million secured mortgage loan agreement with a commercial lender, jointly secured by three properties. The mortgage loan has an annual fixed interest rate of 3.55% and a maturity date of December 1, 2026. At closing, the Company used the proceeds from this mortgage to reduce the borrowings on its revolving credit facility and to pay loan origination costs.

The Company is a self-advised REIT that invests in income-producing real estate, primarily in the lodging sector, in the United States. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The Company has no foreign operations or assets and its operating structure includes only one reportable segment. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Although the Company has interests in potential variable interest entities through its purchase commitments, it is not the primary beneficiary as the Company does not have any elements of power in the decision making process of these entities, and therefore does not consolidate the entities. As of September 30, 2016, the Company owned 236 hotels with an aggregate of 30,299 rooms located in 33 states. On May 18, 2015, the Company’s common shares were listed and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “APLE” (the “Listing”).

Although the Company is working towards acquiring these three hotels, there are many conditions to closing that have not yet been satisfied and there can be no assurance that a closing on these hotels will occur under the outstanding purchase contracts. The following table summarizes the location, brand, date of purchase contract, expected number of rooms, refundable (if the seller does not meet its obligations under the contract) contract deposits paid, and gross purchase price for each of the contracts outstanding at September 30, 2016. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

The table shows the expected number of rooms upon hotel completion and the expected franchise brands. Assuming all conditions to closing are met, the purchases of these hotels are expected to close in the first half of 2017. If the seller meets all of the conditions to closing, the Company is obligated to specifically perform under the contract. As the property is under construction, at this time, the seller has not met all of the conditions to closing. (b) The Home2 Suites and Hilton Garden Inn hotels in Birmingham, AL are part of an adjoining two-hotel complex located on the same site.

As part of this termination, the Company paid the fair value of the swap, approximately $0.1 million, to satisfy the outstanding liability at the time of termination. (2) In May 2015 and July 2015, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with a commercial bank for the same notional amounts as its $212.5 million term loan and its $110 million term loan. In April 2016, the Company entered into forward interest rate swap agreements with a commercial bank, which beginning on September 30, 2016 effectively fixes the interest rate on the $50 million term loan and $100 million term loan. See Note 5 for more information on the term loans. Each of these swaps has been designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes. (3) In May 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a commercial bank for the same notional amount as a $24 million variable-rate mortgage loan. On August 10, 2016, the lender exercised its option to convert the loan to a fixed-rate mortgage loan at 4.37% (the same annual fixed-rate as the swapped mortgage loan prior to the conversion) and simultaneously assumed the swap at no cost or further liability to the Company. Prior to the conversion, the swap was designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes and the change in fair value, which resulted in an unrealized loss totaling approximately $1.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016, was recorded to other comprehensive income (loss). As a result of the conversion, the outstanding liability as of June 30, 2016 totaling approximately $1.0 million was recorded to other comprehensive income (loss) as an unrealized gain during the three months ended September 30, 2016.

[1]	On June 15, 2016, the Company repaid the related mortgage note and terminated this swap agreement. As part of this termination, the Company paid the fair value of the swap, approximately $0.1 million, to satisfy the outstanding liability at the time of termination.
[2]	In May 2015 and July 2015, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with a commercial bank for the same notional amounts as its $212.5 million term loan and its $110 million term loan. In April 2016, the Company entered into forward interest rate swap agreements with a commercial bank, which beginning on September 30, 2016 effectively fixes the interest rate on the $50 million term loan and $100 million term loan. See Note 5 for more information on the term loans. Each of these swaps has been designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes.
[3]	In May 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a commercial bank for the same notional amount as a $24 million variable-rate mortgage loan. On August 10, 2016, the lender exercised its option to convert the loan to a fixed-rate mortgage loan at 4.37% (the same annual fixed-rate as the swapped mortgage loan prior to the conversion) and simultaneously assumed the swap at no cost or further liability to the Company. Prior to the conversion, the swap was designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes and the change in fair value, which resulted in an unrealized loss totaling approximately $1.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016, was recorded to other comprehensive income (loss). As a result of the conversion, the outstanding liability as of June 30, 2016 totaling approximately $1.0 million was recorded to other comprehensive income (loss) as an unrealized gain during the three months ended September 30, 2016 .

Related Party Transaction, Description of Transaction		To efficiently manage cash disbursements, the Company or ARG may make payments for the other company. Under the cash management process, each company may advance or defer up to $1 million at any time. Each quarter, any outstanding amounts are settled between the companies. This process allows each company to minimize its cash on hand and reduces the cost for each company. The amounts outstanding at any point in time are not significant to either of the companies. Prior to the merger, Apple Ten, A10A and ARG (for activities both related and unrelated to Apple Ten) were part of the cost sharing structure and participated in this cash management process.
