Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization	1. Organization Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (the “Lightstone REIT II”) is a Maryland corporation formed on April 28, 2008, which has qualified as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes since its taxable year ending December 31, 2009. The Lightstone REIT II was formed primarily for the purpose of engaging in the business of investing in and owning commercial and residential real estate properties located principally in North America, as well as other real estate-related securities, such as collateralized debt obligations, commercial mortgage-backed securities and mortgage and mezzanine loans secured, directly or indirectly, by the same types of properties which it may acquire directly. The Lightstone REIT II is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT, and substantially all of its current and future business is and will be conducted through Lightstone Value Plus REIT II LP (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership formed on April 30, 2008, in which Lightstone REIT II as the general partner, held a 99% interest as of March 31, 2019. The Lightstone REIT II and the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the ‘‘Company’’ and the use of ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘our,’’ ‘‘us’’ or similar pronouns refers to the Lightstone REIT II, its Operating Partnership or the Company as required by the context in which such pronoun is used. The Company is managed by Lightstone Value Plus REIT II LLC (the “Advisor”), an affiliate of The Lightstone Group, Inc. under the terms and conditions of an advisory agreement. The Lightstone Group, Inc. previously served as the Company’s sponsor (the “Sponsor”) during its initial public offering (the “Offering”) and follow-on offering (the “Follow-on Offering”, and collectively, “the Offerings”), which terminated on August 15, 2012 and September 27, 2014, respectively. Subject to the oversight of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”), the Advisor has primary responsibility for making investment decisions and managing the Company’s day-to-day operations. Through his ownership and control of The Lightstone Group, Inc., Mr. Lichtenstein is the indirect owner of the Advisor and the indirect owner and manager of Lightstone SLP II LLC, which has subordinated profits interests in the Operating Partnership. Mr. Lichtenstein also acts as the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. As a result, he exerts influence over but does not control Lightstone REIT II or the Operating Partnership. The Company does not have any employees. The Advisor receives compensation and fees for services related to the investment and management of the Company’s assets. The Sponsor has various majority owned and controlled affiliated property managers, which may manage certain of the properties the Company acquires. However, the Company also contracts with other unaffiliated third-party property managers, principally for the management of its hospitality properties. The Company’s shares of common stock are not currently listed on a national securities exchange. The Company may seek to list its shares of common stock for trading on a national securities exchange only if a majority of its independent directors believe listing would be in the best interest of its stockholders. The Company does not intend to list its shares at this time. The Company does not anticipate that there would be any market for its shares of common stock until they are listed for trading. In the event the Company does not obtain listing prior to the tenth anniversary of the completion or termination of the Follow-on Offering, which was terminated on September 27, 2014, its charter requires that the Board of Directors must either (i) seek stockholder approval of an extension or amendment of this listing deadline; or (ii) seek stockholder approval to adopt a plan of liquidation of the corporation. Assets Held for Sale During the first quarter of 2019, two of the Company’s limited service hotels, a Holiday Inn located in Opelika, Alabama and a Holiday Inn Express located in Auburn, Alabama (collectively, the “Alabama Hotels”) met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and therefore, their associated assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2019 (See Note 6). Noncontrolling Interests Partners of Operating Partnership On May 20, 2008, the Advisor contributed $2 to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 200 limited partner units in the Operating Partnership. The limited partner has the right to convert Operating Partnership common units into cash or, at the Company’s option, an equal number of shares of the common stock of the Company, as allowed by the limited partnership agreement. From the Company’s inception through the termination of the Follow-On Offering on September 27, 2014, Lightstone SLP II LLC, which is wholly owned by the Sponsor, contributed (i) cash of approximately $12.9 million and (ii) equity interests totaling 48.6 Other Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Subsidiaries Other noncontrolling interests consist of (i) a 2.5% membership interest held by Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (“Lightstone I”), a related party REIT also sponsored by the Company’s Sponsor, in a joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) formed between the Company and Lightstone I that currently owns 8 of our hotels as of March 31, 2019 and (ii) the membership interests held by minority owners in certain of our hotels.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lightstone REIT II and its Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries (over which the Company exercises financial and operating control). As of March 31, 2019, the Lightstone REIT II had a 99% general partnership interest in the common units of the Operating Partnership. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and related notes as contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary in the judgment of management for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. and Subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during a reporting period. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate, depreciable lives, and revenue recognition. Application of these assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 included herein has been derived from the consolidated balance sheet included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. The unaudited consolidated statements of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any other period. Revenue Recognition The following table represents the total revenues from hotel operations on a disaggregated basis: For the Three Months ended 2019 2018 Revenues Room $ 16,421 $ 18,247 Food, beverage and other 1,343 1,117 Total revenues $ 17,764 $ 19,364 Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted the final rule amending certain disclosure requirements that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded. In addition, the amendments expand the disclosure requirements on the analysis of stockholders' equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, an analysis of changes in each caption of stockholders' equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement. The rule was effective on November 5, 2018 and will be effective for the quarter that begins after the effective date. Since the Company already includes a year to date consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity in our interim financial statement filings, the adoption of this guidance will result in the inclusion of a quarter to date consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity in our second and third quarter interim financial statement filings and the inclusion of corresponding prior periods statement of stockholders’ equity for all periods presented. In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued an accounting standards update (“ASU”) that amends the existing lease accounting guidance and requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use lease asset for all leases on their balance sheets. Lessees of operating leases will continue to recognize lease expense in a manner similar to current accounting. The Company adopted the ASU on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach, whereby the Company applied the standard at the beginning of the period of adoption and has presented financial information for periods prior to January 1, 2019 in accordance with prior guidance. Upon adoption, the Company elected the following practical expedients provided by the standard: (i) an entity need not reassess whether any expired or existing contract is a lease or contains a lease, (ii) an entity need not reassess the lease classification of any expired or existing leases, (iii) an entity need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases and (iv) an entity need not allocate consideration to lease and non-lease components of a contract. The Company also elected the short-term lease exception provided for in the standard and therefore will only recognize right-of-use lease assets and related lease liabilities for leases with a term greater than one year. The implementation of the ASU had no cumulative effect on accumulated deficit and the adoption resulted in the recognition of right-of-use lease assets of $0.3 million and related lease liabilities of $0.3 million as of January 1, 2019. New Accounting Pronouncements The Company has reviewed and determined that other recently issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows, or do not apply to its current operations.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	3. Leases On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the ASU and elected the practical expedients which permitted it to not reassess its prior conclusions about lease identification, classification, and initial direct costs. The Company has operating leases related to land used as a parking lot and vehicles. These leases have remaining terms of 3 months to 3 years, Consequently on January 1, 2019, the Company recognized right-of-use lease assets of $0.3 million and related lease liabilities of $0.3 million. Since most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, we used our incremental borrowing rate of 5.7% calculated based on information available at adoption. As of March 31, 2019, the Company's right-of-use lease assets of $0.3 million are included in accounts receivable and other assets and its related lease liabilities of $0.3 million are presented in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company's total operating lease cost, which is included in property operating expenses on the Company's consolidated statements of operations, was $44 and the operating cash outflows from operating leases was $44. As of March 31, 2019, the weighted average operating lease term was 25 months. The adoption of this standard had minimal impact on the Company's statements of operations. The maturity of the lease liabilities for the Company’s operating leases is as follows: 2019 $ 124 2020 160 2021 51 2022 - 2023 - Thereafter - Total lease payments $ 335 Less: Imputed interest $ (32 ) Present value of lease liabilities $ 303

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliated Entities	4. Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliated Entities The entities listed below are partially owned by the Company. The Company accounts for these investments under the equity method of accounting as the Company exercises significant influence, but does not exercise financial and operating control over these entities. A summary of the Company’s investments in the unconsolidated affiliated entities is as follows: As of Entity Date of Ownership Ownership % March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Brownmill Various 48.58 % $ 4,975 $ 4,967 Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture March 27, 2018 50.00 % 12,489 12,754 Total investments in unconsolidated affiliated real estate entities $ 17,464 $ 17,721 Brownmill During 2010 through 2012, the Company entered into various contribution agreements with Lightstone Holdings LLC (‘‘LGH’’), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company’s Sponsor, pursuant to which LGH contributed to the Company an approximate aggregate 48.6% equity interest in exchange for the Company issuing an aggregate of 48 units of Subordinated Profits Interests, at $100,000 per unit (at an aggregate total value of $4.8 million), to Lightstone SLP II LLC. As of March 31, 2019, the Company owns a 48.6% membership interest in Brownmill. The Company’s interest in Brownmill is a non-managing interest. An affiliate of the Company’s Sponsor is the majority owner and manager of Brownmill. Profit and cash distributions are allocated in accordance with each investor’s ownership percentage. The Company accounts for its investment in Brownmill in accordance with the equity method of accounting. Brownmill owns two retail properties known as Browntown Shopping Center, located in Old Bridge, New Jersey, and Millburn Mall, located in Vauxhaull, New Jersey, which collectively, are referred to as the “Brownmill Properties.” Brownmill Financial Information The Company’s carrying value of its interest in Brownmill differs from its share of member’s equity reported in the condensed balance sheet of Brownmill due to the Company’s basis of its investment in excess of the historical net book value of Brownmill. The Company’s additional basis allocated to depreciable assets is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the appropriate assets.

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not recognize any impairment charges. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value: · Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. · Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. · Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, all of the Company’s debt securities were classified as Level 2 assets and there were no transfers between the level classifications during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The fair values of the Company’s investments in Corporate Bonds are measured using readily available quoted prices for similar assets. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of our investments in marketable debt securities with stated contractual maturity dates, accounted for as available-for-sale securities and classified by the contractual maturity date of the securities: As of Due in 1 year $ - Due in 1 year through 5 years 5,031 Due in 5 year through 10 years - Due after 10 years 3,395 Total $ 8,426 The Company did not have any other significant financial assets or liabilities, which would require revised valuations that are recognized at fair value. Margin loan The Company has access to a margin loan from a financial institution that holds custody of certain of the Company’s marketable securities. The margin loan is collateralized by the marketable securities in the Company’s account. The amounts available to the Company under the margin loan are at the discretion of the financial institution and not limited to the amount of collateral in its account. The margin loan bears interest at Libor plus 0.85% (3.11% as of March 31, 2019). As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the outstanding balance of the margin loan was approximately $ 4.9 5.1

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lightstone REIT II and its Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries (over which the Company exercises financial and operating control). As of March 31, 2019, the Lightstone REIT II had a 99% general partnership interest in the common units of the Operating Partnership. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and related notes as contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary in the judgment of management for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. and Subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during a reporting period. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate, depreciable lives, and revenue recognition. Application of these assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 included herein has been derived from the consolidated balance sheet included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. The unaudited consolidated statements of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any other period.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The following table represents the total revenues from hotel operations on a disaggregated basis: For the Three Months ended 2019 2018 Revenues Room $ 16,421 $ 18,247 Food, beverage and other 1,343 1,117 Total revenues $ 17,764 $ 19,364
New Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted the final rule amending certain disclosure requirements that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded. In addition, the amendments expand the disclosure requirements on the analysis of stockholders' equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, an analysis of changes in each caption of stockholders' equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement. The rule was effective on November 5, 2018 and will be effective for the quarter that begins after the effective date. Since the Company already includes a year to date consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity in our interim financial statement filings, the adoption of this guidance will result in the inclusion of a quarter to date consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity in our second and third quarter interim financial statement filings and the inclusion of corresponding prior periods statement of stockholders’ equity for all periods presented. In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued an accounting standards update (“ASU”) that amends the existing lease accounting guidance and requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use lease asset for all leases on their balance sheets. Lessees of operating leases will continue to recognize lease expense in a manner similar to current accounting. The Company adopted the ASU on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach, whereby the Company applied the standard at the beginning of the period of adoption and has presented financial information for periods prior to January 1, 2019 in accordance with prior guidance. Upon adoption, the Company elected the following practical expedients provided by the standard: (i) an entity need not reassess whether any expired or existing contract is a lease or contains a lease, (ii) an entity need not reassess the lease classification of any expired or existing leases, (iii) an entity need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases and (iv) an entity need not allocate consideration to lease and non-lease components of a contract. The Company also elected the short-term lease exception provided for in the standard and therefore will only recognize right-of-use lease assets and related lease liabilities for leases with a term greater than one year. The implementation of the ASU had no cumulative effect on accumulated deficit and the adoption resulted in the recognition of right-of-use lease assets of $0.3 million and related lease liabilities of $0.3 million as of January 1, 2019. New Accounting Pronouncements The Company has reviewed and determined that other recently issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows, or do not apply to its current operations.
