Business, Organization and Basis of Consolidation	BUSINESS, ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION Extended Stay America, Inc. (the “Corporation”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on July 8, 2013. ESH Hospitality, Inc. (“ESH REIT”) was formed as a limited liability company in the state of Delaware on September 16, 2010 and was converted to a corporation on November 5, 2013. On November 18, 2013, the Corporation and ESH REIT completed an initial public offering of 32.5 million Paired Shares. A "Paired Share" consists of one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Corporation, that is attached to and trades as a single unit with one share of Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of ESH REIT. The Corporation owns, and is expected to continue to own, all of the issued and outstanding Class A common stock of ESH REIT, which currently represents approximately 55% of the outstanding common stock of ESH REIT. Due to its controlling interest in ESH REIT, the Corporation consolidates the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows of ESH REIT. The term, “the Company,” as used herein refers to the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, including ESH REIT. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the Company owned and operated 626 hotel properties in 44 U.S. states, consisting of approximately 68,900 rooms, and three hotels in Canada consisting of 500 rooms. The hotel properties are owned by wholly-owned subsidiaries of ESH REIT and are operated by wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Corporation (the “Operating Lessees”) pursuant to leases between ESH REIT and the Operating Lessees. The hotels are managed by ESA Management LLC (“ESA Management”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation. The substantial majority of the hotels are operated under the core brand, Extended Stay America. The three hotels in Canada are operated under the brand Extended Stay Canada. The brands are owned by ESH Hospitality Strategies LLC (“ESH Strategies”), also a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation. In December 2015, the Boards of Directors of the Corporation and ESH REIT authorized a combined Paired Share repurchase program for up to $100 million of Paired Shares. In February 2016, the Boards of Directors of the Corporation and ESH REIT authorized an increase of the combined Paired Share repurchase program from $100 million to up to $200 million of Paired Shares. The program expires on December 31, 2016. Repurchases may be made at management's discretion from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means (including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans). Depending on market conditions and other factors, these repurchases may be commenced or suspended without prior notice. As of September 30, 2016 , the Corporation and ESH REIT repurchased and retired approximately 4.6 million Corporation common shares and ESH REIT Class B common shares for approximately $42.6 million and $27.0 million , respectively. As of September 30, 2016 , the Corporation had approximately 200.2 million shares of common stock outstanding, approximately 35.6% of which were owned by the public and approximately 64.4% of which were owned by Centerbridge Partners, L.P., Paulson & Co. Inc. and the Blackstone Group, L.P. and their affiliates (collectively, the “Sponsors”) and senior management, including certain directors. As of September 30, 2016 , ESH REIT’s common equity consisted of the following: (i) approximately 250.5 million shares of Class A common stock outstanding (approximately 55% of its common equity), all of which were owned by the Corporation, and (ii) approximately 200.2 million shares of Class B common stock outstanding (approximately 45% of its common equity), approximately 35.6% of which were owned by the public and approximately 64.4% of which were owned by the Sponsors and senior management, including certain directors. As of December 31, 2015, the Corporation had approximately 204.6 million shares of common stock outstanding, approximately 36.9% of which were owned by the public and approximately 63.1% of which were owned by the Sponsors and senior management, including certain directors. As of December 31, 2015, ESH REIT’s common equity consisted of the following: (i) approximately 250.5 million shares of Class A common stock outstanding, all of which were owned by the Corporation, and (ii) approximately 204.6 million shares of Class B common stock outstanding, approximately 36.9% of which were owned by the public and approximately 63.1% of which were owned by the Sponsors and senior management, including certain directors. Basis of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”), and include the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. Third party equity interests in consolidated subsidiaries are presented as noncontrolling interests. Despite the fact that each share of Corporation common stock is paired on a one-for-one basis with each share of ESH REIT Class B common stock, the Corporation does not own the ESH REIT Class B common stock; therefore, ESH REIT Class B common stock represents a third party equity interest. As such, the rights associated with the ESH REIT Class B common stock, along with other third party equity interests in ESH REIT, which include 125 shares of preferred stock, are presented as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Changes in ownership interests in a consolidated subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Entity Information [Line Items]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Interim Presentation— Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. However, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in the combined annual report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 23, 2016. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring items) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2016 , the results of the Company’s operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 and changes in equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 . Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance because of the impact of seasonal and short-term variations, including the impact of our hotel renovation program. Use of Estimates —The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management used significant estimates to estimate the useful lives of tangible assets as well as the assessment of tangible and intangible assets, including goodwill, for impairment, estimated liabilities for insurance reserves and the grant-date fair value of certain equity-based awards. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Property and Equipment —Property and equipment additions are recorded at cost. Major improvements that extend the life or utility of property or equipment are capitalized and depreciated over a period equal to the shorter of the estimated useful life of the improvement or the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives which range from three to 49 years . Management assesses the performance of long-lived assets for potential impairment at least annually, as well as when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of property and equipment is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of a hotel property to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by each hotel property. Impairment is recognized when estimated future undiscounted cash flows, including proceeds from disposition, are less than the carrying value of each hotel property. To the extent that a hotel property is impaired, the excess carrying amount over its estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment charge and reduces income from operations. Fair value is determined based upon the discounted cash flows of the hotel property, quoted market prices or independent appraisals, as considered necessary. The Company recognized an impairment charge related to property and equipment of approximately $ 2.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and $ 9.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 (see Note 5). The estimation of future undiscounted cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies upon assumptions regarding current and future economic and market conditions. If such conditions change, then an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of a hotel property could occur in a future period in which conditions change. Segments —The Company’s hotel operations represent a single operating segment based on the way the Company manages its business. The Company’s hotels provide similar services, use similar processes to sell those services and sell those services to similar classes of customers. The amounts of long-lived assets and net revenues outside the U.S. are not significant for any period presented. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Statement of Cash Flows— In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update which provides additional clarity on the classification of specific events on the statement of cash flows. These events include debt prepayment and extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from settlement of insurance claims, distributions received from equity method investees, and beneficial interests in securitization transactions. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early application permitted. The adoption of this update will require cash outflows related to debt prepayment and extinguishment costs to be classified as financing activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, debt prepayment and extinguishment costs included within net cash provided by operating activities totaled approximately $3.9 million . Compensation—Stock Compensation— In March 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, and certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early application permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. Derivatives and Hedging— In March 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as a hedging instrument does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early application permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. Leases— In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which introduces a lessee model that requires a right-of-use asset and lease obligation to be presented on the balance sheet for all leases, whether operating or financing. The update eliminates the requirement in current U.S. GAAP for an entity to use bright-line tests in determining lease classification. The update also requires lessors to increase the transparency of their exposure to changes in value of their residual assets and how they manage that exposure. This update will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and must be applied using a modified retrospective approach, which will require adjustment to all comparative periods presented. The adoption of this update will require the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease obligation for the Company’s ground leases and office lease (see Note 12). As of September 30, 2016 , the future minimum lease payments under these operating leases totaled approximately $95.0 million . Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software— In April 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which clarifies the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. This update provides guidance to customers regarding whether a cloud computing arrangement includes the sale or license of software or, alternatively, the sale of a service. The Company adopted this update on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Consolidation—Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis— In February 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which amends the consolidation requirements under U.S. GAAP, changing the analysis performed by a company to determine whether it has a variable interest in an entity and when to consolidate such entities. The Company adopted this update on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Income Statement-Extraordinary and Unusual Items— In January 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to simplify income statement presentation by eliminating the concept of extraordinary items. The Company adopted this update on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Contractual Revenue— Since May 2014, the FASB has issued several accounting standards updates which amend existing revenue recognition accounting standards. These updates are based on the principle that revenue is recognized when an entity transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. These updates also require more detailed disclosure to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. These updates are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently assessing the impact these updates will have on its consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring items) necessary to present fairly ESH REIT’s financial position as of September 30, 2016 , the results of ESH REIT’s operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 and changes in equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 . Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance because of the impact of accounting for contingent rental payments under lease arrangements. Use of Estimates —The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management used significant estimates to estimate the useful lives of tangible assets as well as the assessment of tangible assets and goodwill for impairment and estimated liabilities for insurance reserves. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Property and Equipment —Property and equipment additions are recorded at cost. Major improvements that extend the life or utility of property or equipment are capitalized and depreciated over a period equal to the shorter of the estimated useful life of the improvement or the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives which range from three to 49 years . Management assesses the performance of long-lived assets for potential impairment at least annually, as well as when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of a group of assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of property and equipment is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of a group of hotel properties (groups of hotel properties align with hotels as they are grouped under ESH REIT’s operating leases) to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by each group of hotel properties. Impairment is recognized when estimated future undiscounted cash flows, including proceeds from disposition, are less than the carrying value of each group of hotel properties. To the extent that a group of hotel properties is impaired, their excess carrying amount over their estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment charge and reduces income from operations. Fair value is determined based upon the discounted cash flows of a group of hotel properties, quoted market prices or independent appraisals, as considered necessary. No impairment charges were recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 or 2015 (see Note 5). The estimation of future undiscounted cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies upon assumptions regarding current and future economic and market conditions. If such conditions change, then an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of a group of hotel properties could occur in a future period in which conditions change. Revenue Recognition —ESH REIT’s sole source of revenues is rental revenue derived from leases with the Operating Lessees. ESH REIT records rental revenues on a straight-line basis as they are earned during the lease terms. Rents receivable from Extended Stay America, Inc. on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets represent rental amounts contractually due from the Operating Lessees. Deferred rents receivable from Extended Stay America, Inc. on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets represent the cumulative difference between straight-line rental revenues recognized and rental revenues contractually due. As scheduled rent payments begin to exceed straight-line rental revenue, this amount, approximately $40.6 million as of September 30, 2016 , will gradually decrease through the remainder of the lease terms until it is zero at the end of the lease terms in October 2018. Lease rental payments received prior to rendering services are included in unearned rental revenues from Extended Stay America, Inc. on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contingent rental revenues, specifically percentage rental revenues related to hotel revenues of the Operating Lessees, are recognized when such amounts are fixed and determinable (i.e., only when percentage rental revenue thresholds have been achieved). Segments —ESH REIT’s business represents a single operating segment based on the way ESH REIT manages its business. ESH REIT’s hotels provide similar services, use similar processes to sell those services and sell those services (i.e., lease the hotel properties) to similar classes of customers. The amounts of long-lived assets and net revenues outside the U.S. are not significant for any period presented. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Statement of Cash Flows— In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update which provides additional clarity on the classification of specific events on the statement of cash flows. These events include debt prepayment and extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from settlement of insurance claims, distributions received from equity method investees, and beneficial interests in securitization transactions. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early application permitted. The adoption of this update will require cash outflows related to debt prepayment and extinguishment costs to be classified as financing activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, debt prepayment and extinguishment costs included within net cash provided by operating activities totaled approximately $3.9 million . Compensation—Stock Compensation— In March 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, and certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early application permitted. ESH REIT does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. Derivatives and Hedging— In March 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as a hedging instrument does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early application permitted. ESH REIT does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. Leases— In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which introduces a lessee model that requires a right-of-use asset and lease obligation to be presented on the balance sheet for all leases, whether operating or financing. The update eliminates the requirement in current U.S. GAAP for an entity to use bright-line tests in determining lease classification. The update also requires lessors to increase the transparency of their exposure to changes in value of their residual assets and how they manage that exposure. This update will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and must be applied using a modified retrospective approach, which will require adjustment to all comparative periods presented. The adoption of this update will require the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease obligation for ESH REIT’s ground leases (see Note 10). As of September 30, 2016 , the future minimum lease payments under these operating leases totaled approximately $84.9 million . Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software— In April 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which clarifies the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. This update provides guidance to customers regarding whether a cloud computing arrangement includes the sale or license of software or, alternatively, the sale of a service. ESH REIT adopted this update on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on ESH REIT’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Consolidation—Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis— In February 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which amends the consolidation requirements under U.S. GAAP, changing the analysis performed by a company to determine whether it has a variable interest in an entity and when to consolidate such entities. ESH REIT adopted this update on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on ESH REIT’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Income Statement-Extraordinary and Unusual Items— In January 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to simplify income statement presentation by eliminating the concept of extraordinary items. ESH REIT adopted this update on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on ESH REIT’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Outstanding Indebtedness ESH REIT Credit Facilities On August 30, 2016, ESH REIT entered into a new credit agreement providing for senior secured credit facilities (collectively the "2016 ESH REIT Credit Facilities") consisting of a $1,300.0 million senior secured term loan facility (the "2016 Term Facility") and a $350.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "2016 ESH REIT Revolving Credit Facility"). Subject to the satisfaction of certain criteria, borrowings under the 2016 ESH REIT Credit Facilities may be increased by an amount of up to $600.0 million , plus additional amounts, so long as, after giving effect to the incurrence of such incremental facility and the application of proceeds thereof, its pro-forma senior loan-to-value ratio is less than or equal to 45% . Obligations under the 2016 ESH REIT Credit Facilities are guaranteed by certain existing and future material domestic subsidiaries of ESH REIT, other than those owning real property, subject to customary exceptions. Obligations under the 2016 ESH REIT Credit Facilities are secured, subject to certain exceptions, including an exception for real property, by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of ESH REIT and the guarantors. The 2016 ESH REIT Credit Facilities contain a number of restrictive covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, limit ESH REIT’s ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to incur additional debt, modify existing debt, create certain liens, pay dividends and distributions, make certain investments and other restricted payments, enter into affiliate transactions, amend or modify certain material operating leases and management agreements, sell assets or merge, consolidate or transfer all or substantially all of their assets.

Upon a Change of Control, as defined, holders of the 2025 Notes have the right to require ESH REIT to redeem the 2025 Notes at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Indenture contains a number of customary covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, limit ESH REIT’s ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to incur additional debt, create certain liens, pay dividends or distributions, make certain investments and other restricted payments, enter into affiliate transactions, sell assets or merge, consolidate or transfer all or substantially all of their assets.

The facility contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default. If an event of default occurs, the Corporation is entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the facility and all other actions that a creditor is permitted to take following a default.

Derivative Instruments	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS The Company from time to time uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate risks. The Company’s primary objective in holding derivatives is to reduce the volatility of cash flows and earnings associated with changes in interest rates. The Company’s derivatives expose it to credit risk to the extent that counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreement. The Company seeks to mitigate such risks by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions. In addition, the potential risk of loss with any one counterparty resulting from this type of credit risk is monitored. Management does not expect material losses as a result of defaults by counterparties. In September 2016, ESH REIT entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap at a fixed rate of 1.175% to manage its exposure to interest rate risk on a portion of its variable rate debt. The notional amount of the interest rate swap as of September 30, 2016 was $500.0 million , which reduces by $50.0 million every six months until September 2021. The swap is designated and accounted for as an effective cash flow hedge, as the notional amount, interest rate and payment dates in the interest rate swap match those of the hedged cash flows. The fair value of the interest rate swap as of September 30, 2016 was approximately $(0.6) million and is reported in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES The Company’s taxable income includes the taxable income of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and distribution income related to its ownership of approximately 55% of ESH REIT. ESH REIT has elected to be taxed and expects to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. A REIT is a legal entity that holds real estate assets and is generally not subject to federal and state income taxes. In order to maintain qualification as a REIT, ESH REIT is required to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income, excluding net capital gain, to its shareholders each year. In addition, ESH REIT must meet a number of complex organizational and operational requirements. If ESH REIT were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it would be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and generally would be precluded from qualifying as a REIT for the subsequent four taxable years following the year during which it lost its REIT qualification. Even in qualifying as a REIT, ESH REIT may be subject to state and local taxes in certain jurisdictions, and is subject to federal income and excise taxes on undistributed income. ESH REIT intends to distribute its taxable income to the extent necessary to optimize its tax efficiency including, but not limited to, maintaining its REIT status, while retaining sufficient capital for its ongoing needs. Accordingly, ESH REIT expects to distribute approximately 100% of its taxable income for the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2015, the expectation was to distribute approximately 95% of ESH REIT’s taxable income. As a result of this change, during the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recognized a benefit of approximately $(1.8) million with respect to the reversal of net deferred tax liabilities recorded as of December 31, 2015, which represented the previously estimated 5% of taxable income to be retained by ESH REIT. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , the Company recognized a benefit of approximately $(0.8) million and $(8.5) million , respectively, attributable to a December 2015 statutory law change in the way earnings and profits are computed at ESH REIT. The effect of the change was the reversal of a deferred tax liability related to the Corporation’s anticipated receipt of future ESH REIT nontaxable distributions. In January 2016, ESH REIT paid a special distribution of approximately $86.5 million . Approximately $77.4 million of the special distribution was deductible in 2015; the remaining approximately $9.1 million is deductible in 2016. The special distribution is subject to current taxation to the Corporation as a distribution in 2016 at the time of receipt. In 2015 , ESH REIT distributed approximately 95% of its taxable income and utilized its federal net operating loss carryforward of approximately $18.6 million . As a result, in 2015, ESH REIT incurred minimal current federal income tax in the form of alternative minimum tax. The Company recorded a provision for federal, state and foreign income taxes of approximately $15.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 , an effective rate of approximately 21.8% , as compared with a provision of approximately $21.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 , an effective rate of approximately 26.8% . The Company recorded a provision for federal, state and foreign income taxes of approximately $26.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , an effective rate of approximately 16.4% , as compared with a provision of approximately $48.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , an effective rate of approximately 24.2% . The Company’s effective rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to ESH REIT’s status as a REIT under the provisions of the Code. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 , the Company’s effective rate was impacted by the approximate $(0.8) million benefit discussed above; in addition to discrete provision to return adjustments of approximately $(2.0) million recognized upon the filing of an income tax return. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , the effective rate was impacted by the approximate $(1.8) million and $(8.5) million benefits discussed above; in addition to discrete provision to return adjustments of approximately $(2.0) million recognized upon the filing of an income tax return and $0.8 million of expense related to restricted stock units settled during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 .

Equity-Based Compensation	EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION The Corporation and ESH REIT each maintain a long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”), as amended and restated in 2015, approved by their shareholders. Under the LTIPs, the Corporation and ESH REIT may issue to eligible employees or directors restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) or other equity-based awards, in respect of Paired Shares, with service, performance or market vesting conditions. The aggregate number of Paired Shares that may be the subject of awards under the LTIPs shall not exceed 8,000,000 , of which no more than 4,000,000 may be granted as incentive stock options. Each of the Corporation’s and ESH REIT’s LTIP has a share reserve of an equivalent number of shares of Corporation common stock and ESH REIT Class B common stock. As of September 30, 2016 , approximately 4,052,000 Paired Shares were available for future issuance under the LTIPs. Equity-based compensation expense is recognized by amortizing the grant-date fair value of the equity-based awards, less estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each award. A portion of the grant-date fair value of all equity-based awards is allocated to a share of common stock of the Corporation and a portion is allocated to a share of ESH REIT Class B common stock. Equity-based compensation expense was approximately $3.0 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , and approximately $8.6 million and $7.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2016 , unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding equity-based awards and the related weighted-average period over which it is expected to be recognized subsequent to September 30, 2016 , is presented in the following table. Total unrecognized compensation expense will be adjusted for actual forfeitures.

Service-Based Awards The Corporation granted approximately 517,000 service-based awards during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , with a weighted-average grant-date fair value per award of $14.09 . ESH REIT granted approximately 15,000 service-based awards during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , with a grant-date fair value per award of $14.08 . The grant-date fair value of awards with service vesting conditions is based on the closing price of a Paired Share on the date of grant. Service-based awards vest over a period of two to four years , subject to the grantee’s continued employment or service. Performance-Based Awards The Corporation granted approximately 166,000 awards with performance vesting conditions during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , with a grant-date fair value per award of $14.07 . The grant-date fair value of awards with performance vesting conditions is based on the closing price of a Paired Share on the date of grant. Equity-based compensation expense with respect to these awards is adjusted over the remainder of the fiscal year to reflect the probability of achievement of performance targets defined in the award agreements. These awards vest over the remainder of the fiscal year, subject to the grantee’s continued employment, with the ability to earn Paired Shares in a range of 0% to 200% of the awarded number of RSUs based on the achievement of defined performance targets. As of September 30, 2016 , all awards with performance vesting conditions are expected to be satisfied at less than 100% of their target level. The Corporation granted approximately 441,000 awards with market vesting conditions during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , with a grant-date fair value per award of $12.03 . These awards vest at the end of a three -year period, subject to the grantee’s continued employment, with the ability to earn Paired Shares in a range of 0% to 150% of the awarded number of RSUs based on the total shareholder return of a Paired Share relative to the total shareholder return of other publicly traded lodging companies identified in the award agreements. The grant-date fair value of awards with market vesting conditions is based on an independent third-party valuation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , the grant-date fair value of awards with market vesting conditions was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model with the following key assumptions: Expected holding period 2.85 years Risk-free rate of return 0.88 % Expected dividend yield 5.91 %

Equity-Based Compensation	EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION The Corporation and ESH REIT each maintain a long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”), as amended and restated in 2015, approved by their shareholders. Under the LTIPs, the Corporation and ESH REIT may issue to eligible employees or directors restricted stock awards ("RSAs"), restricted stock units ("RSUs") or other equity-based awards, in respect of Paired Shares, with service, performance or market vesting conditions. The aggregate number of Paired Shares that may be the subject of awards under the LTIPs shall not exceed 8,000,000 , of which no more than 4,000,000 may be granted as incentive stock options. Each of the Corporation’s and ESH REIT’s LTIP has a share reserve of an equivalent number of shares of Corporation common stock and ESH REIT Class B common stock. As of September 30, 2016 , approximately 4,052,000 Paired Shares were available for future issuance under the LTIPs. Equity-based compensation expense is recognized by amortizing the grant-date fair value of the equity-based awards, less estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each award. The fair value of equity-based awards is based on the closing price of a Paired Share on the date of grant. A portion of the grant-date fair value of all equity-based awards is allocated to a share of Corporation common stock and a portion is allocated to a share of ESH REIT Class B common stock. Expense related to the portion of the grant-date fair value with respect to a share of Corporation common stock is recorded as a payable due to the Corporation. Expense related to the portion of the grant-date fair value with respect to a share of Class B common stock of ESH REIT is recorded as an increase to additional paid in capital. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , ESH REIT incurred approximately $0.6 million and $1.5 million , respectively, of equity-based compensation expense (which included approximately $0.5 million and $1.4 million paid to the Corporation). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , ESH REIT incurred approximately $0.3 million and $1.0 million , respectively, of equity-based compensation expense (which included approximately $0.2 million and $0.6 million paid to the Corporation). Equity-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2016 , there was approximately $0.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding equity-based awards, which is expected to be recognized subsequent to September 30, 2016 over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.9 years. Total unrecognized compensation expense will be adjusted for actual forfeitures. ESH REIT will have to pay more or less for a share of the Corporation common stock than it would have otherwise paid at the time of grant as the result of regular market changes in the value of a Paired Share between the time of grant and the time of settlement. An increase in the value allocated to a share of Corporation common stock due to market changes in the value of a Paired Share between the time of grant and the time of settlement is recorded as a distribution to the Corporation. A decrease in the value allocated to a share of Corporation common stock due to market changes in the value of a Paired Share between the time of grant and the time of settlement is recorded as additional paid in capital from the Corporation. The Corporation accounts for awards issued under its LTIP in a manner similar to that of ESH REIT. As such, for all LTIP awards granted by the Corporation, ESH REIT will receive compensation for the fair value of the Class B shares on the date of settlement of such Class B shares by ESH REIT. As of September 30, 2016 , ESH REIT is expected to issue, and be compensated in cash for, approximately 1,918,000 shares of Class B common stock of ESH REIT in future periods for RSUs issued by the Corporation, assuming performance-based awards vest at less than 100% of their target level and no additional forfeitures. RSA/RSU activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , was as follows: Number of RSAs/RSUs (in thousands) Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value Outstanding RSAs/RSUs - January 1, 2016 244 $ 9.71 RSAs/RSUs granted in 2016 15 $ 14.08 RSAs/RSUs settled in 2016 (228 ) $ 9.18 RSAs/RSUs forfeited in 2016 — $ — Outstanding RSAs/RSUs - September 30, 2016 31 $ 16.00 Vested RSAs/RSUs - September 30, 2016 — $ — Nonvested RSAs/RSUs - September 30, 2016 31 $ 16.00

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	9 Months Ended

Entity Information [Line Items]
Interim Presentation	Interim Presentation— Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. However, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in the combined annual report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 23, 2016. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring items) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2016 , the results of the Company’s operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 and changes in equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 . Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance because of the impact of seasonal and short-term variations, including the impact of our hotel renovation program.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates —The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management used significant estimates to estimate the useful lives of tangible assets as well as the assessment of tangible and intangible assets, including goodwill, for impairment, estimated liabilities for insurance reserves and the grant-date fair value of certain equity-based awards. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment —Property and equipment additions are recorded at cost. Major improvements that extend the life or utility of property or equipment are capitalized and depreciated over a period equal to the shorter of the estimated useful life of the improvement or the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives which range from three to 49 years . Management assesses the performance of long-lived assets for potential impairment at least annually, as well as when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of property and equipment is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of a hotel property to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by each hotel property. Impairment is recognized when estimated future undiscounted cash flows, including proceeds from disposition, are less than the carrying value of each hotel property. To the extent that a hotel property is impaired, the excess carrying amount over its estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment charge and reduces income from operations. Fair value is determined based upon the discounted cash flows of the hotel property, quoted market prices or independent appraisals, as considered necessary. The Company recognized an impairment charge related to property and equipment of approximately $ 2.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and $ 9.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 (see Note 5). The estimation of future undiscounted cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies upon assumptions regarding current and future economic and market conditions. If such conditions change, then an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of a hotel property could occur in a future period in which conditions change.
Segments	Segments —The Company’s hotel operations represent a single operating segment based on the way the Company manages its business. The Company’s hotels provide similar services, use similar processes to sell those services and sell those services to similar classes of customers. The amounts of long-lived assets and net revenues outside the U.S. are not significant for any period presented.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards Statement of Cash Flows— In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update which provides additional clarity on the classification of specific events on the statement of cash flows. These events include debt prepayment and extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from settlement of insurance claims, distributions received from equity method investees, and beneficial interests in securitization transactions. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early application permitted. The adoption of this update will require cash outflows related to debt prepayment and extinguishment costs to be classified as financing activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, debt prepayment and extinguishment costs included within net cash provided by operating activities totaled approximately $3.9 million . Compensation—Stock Compensation— In March 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, and certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early application permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. Derivatives and Hedging— In March 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as a hedging instrument does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early application permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. Leases— In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which introduces a lessee model that requires a right-of-use asset and lease obligation to be presented on the balance sheet for all leases, whether operating or financing. The update eliminates the requirement in current U.S. GAAP for an entity to use bright-line tests in determining lease classification. The update also requires lessors to increase the transparency of their exposure to changes in value of their residual assets and how they manage that exposure. This update will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and must be applied using a modified retrospective approach, which will require adjustment to all comparative periods presented. The adoption of this update will require the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease obligation for the Company’s ground leases and office lease (see Note 12). As of September 30, 2016 , the future minimum lease payments under these operating leases totaled approximately $95.0 million . Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software— In April 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which clarifies the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. This update provides guidance to customers regarding whether a cloud computing arrangement includes the sale or license of software or, alternatively, the sale of a service. The Company adopted this update on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Consolidation—Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis— In February 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which amends the consolidation requirements under U.S. GAAP, changing the analysis performed by a company to determine whether it has a variable interest in an entity and when to consolidate such entities. The Company adopted this update on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Income Statement-Extraordinary and Unusual Items— In January 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to simplify income statement presentation by eliminating the concept of extraordinary items. The Company adopted this update on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Contractual Revenue— Since May 2014, the FASB has issued several accounting standards updates which amend existing revenue recognition accounting standards. These updates are based on the principle that revenue is recognized when an entity transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. These updates also require more detailed disclosure to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. These updates are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently assessing the impact these updates will have on its consolidated financial statements.

ESH REIT believes the disclosures made are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. However, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in the combined annual report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 23, 2016. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring items) necessary to present fairly ESH REIT’s financial position as of September 30, 2016 , the results of ESH REIT’s operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 and changes in equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 . Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance because of the impact of accounting for contingent rental payments under lease arrangements.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates —The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management used significant estimates to estimate the useful lives of tangible assets as well as the assessment of tangible assets and goodwill for impairment and estimated liabilities for insurance reserves. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment —Property and equipment additions are recorded at cost. Major improvements that extend the life or utility of property or equipment are capitalized and depreciated over a period equal to the shorter of the estimated useful life of the improvement or the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives which range from three to 49 years . Management assesses the performance of long-lived assets for potential impairment at least annually, as well as when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of a group of assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of property and equipment is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of a group of hotel properties (groups of hotel properties align with hotels as they are grouped under ESH REIT’s operating leases) to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by each group of hotel properties. Impairment is recognized when estimated future undiscounted cash flows, including proceeds from disposition, are less than the carrying value of each group of hotel properties. To the extent that a group of hotel properties is impaired, their excess carrying amount over their estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment charge and reduces income from operations. Fair value is determined based upon the discounted cash flows of a group of hotel properties, quoted market prices or independent appraisals, as considered necessary. No impairment charges were recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 or 2015 (see Note 5). The estimation of future undiscounted cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies upon assumptions regarding current and future economic and market conditions. If such conditions change, then an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of a group of hotel properties could occur in a future period in which conditions change.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition —ESH REIT’s sole source of revenues is rental revenue derived from leases with the Operating Lessees. ESH REIT records rental revenues on a straight-line basis as they are earned during the lease terms. Rents receivable from Extended Stay America, Inc. on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets represent rental amounts contractually due from the Operating Lessees. Deferred rents receivable from Extended Stay America, Inc. on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets represent the cumulative difference between straight-line rental revenues recognized and rental revenues contractually due. As scheduled rent payments begin to exceed straight-line rental revenue, this amount, approximately $40.6 million as of September 30, 2016 , will gradually decrease through the remainder of the lease terms until it is zero at the end of the lease terms in October 2018. Lease rental payments received prior to rendering services are included in unearned rental revenues from Extended Stay America, Inc. on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contingent rental revenues, specifically percentage rental revenues related to hotel revenues of the Operating Lessees, are recognized when such amounts are fixed and determinable (i.e., only when percentage rental revenue thresholds have been achieved).
Segments	Segments —ESH REIT’s business represents a single operating segment based on the way ESH REIT manages its business. ESH REIT’s hotels provide similar services, use similar processes to sell those services and sell those services (i.e., lease the hotel properties) to similar classes of customers. The amounts of long-lived assets and net revenues outside the U.S. are not significant for any period presented.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards Statement of Cash Flows— In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update which provides additional clarity on the classification of specific events on the statement of cash flows. These events include debt prepayment and extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from settlement of insurance claims, distributions received from equity method investees, and beneficial interests in securitization transactions. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early application permitted. The adoption of this update will require cash outflows related to debt prepayment and extinguishment costs to be classified as financing activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, debt prepayment and extinguishment costs included within net cash provided by operating activities totaled approximately $3.9 million . Compensation—Stock Compensation— In March 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, and certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early application permitted. ESH REIT does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. Derivatives and Hedging— In March 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as a hedging instrument does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early application permitted. ESH REIT does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. Leases— In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which introduces a lessee model that requires a right-of-use asset and lease obligation to be presented on the balance sheet for all leases, whether operating or financing. The update eliminates the requirement in current U.S. GAAP for an entity to use bright-line tests in determining lease classification. The update also requires lessors to increase the transparency of their exposure to changes in value of their residual assets and how they manage that exposure. This update will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and must be applied using a modified retrospective approach, which will require adjustment to all comparative periods presented. The adoption of this update will require the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease obligation for ESH REIT’s ground leases (see Note 10). As of September 30, 2016 , the future minimum lease payments under these operating leases totaled approximately $84.9 million . Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software— In April 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which clarifies the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. This update provides guidance to customers regarding whether a cloud computing arrangement includes the sale or license of software or, alternatively, the sale of a service. ESH REIT adopted this update on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on ESH REIT’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Consolidation—Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis— In February 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which amends the consolidation requirements under U.S. GAAP, changing the analysis performed by a company to determine whether it has a variable interest in an entity and when to consolidate such entities. ESH REIT adopted this update on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on ESH REIT’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Income Statement-Extraordinary and Unusual Items— In January 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to simplify income statement presentation by eliminating the concept of extraordinary items. ESH REIT adopted this update on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on ESH REIT’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
