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. The Corporation owns, and is expected to continue to own, all of the issued and outstanding Class A common stock of ESH REIT, which, as of September 30, 2018 , represents approximately 57% 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. 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. Each outstanding share of Corporation common stock is attached to and trades with one share of ESH REIT Class B common stock. The Company is an integrated owner/operator of Extended Stay America branded hotels and is also engaged in franchising and managing extended stay hotels for third parties in the U.S. As of September 30, 2018 , the Company owned and operated 567 hotel properties in 40 U.S. states consisting of approximately 62,700 rooms, and franchised or managed 59 hotel properties for third parties consisting of approximately 6,200 rooms. All system-wide hotels are operated under the Extended Stay America brand. As of December 31, 2017, the Company owned and operated 624 hotel properties in 44 U.S. states consisting of approximately 68,600 rooms and managed three hotels under short-term management agreements. Hotel properties owned by the Company 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 the entities. The hotels are managed by ESA Management LLC (“ESA Management”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, which also manages hotels on behalf of third parties. The Extended Stay America brand is owned by ESH Hospitality Strategies LLC (“ESH Strategies”), also a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation. ESH Strategies licenses the brand and intellectual property related to our businesses to its subsidiaries, ESH Strategies Branding LLC and ESH Strategies Franchise LLC, which license them to the Operating Lessees and third parties, respectively. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the Corporation had approximately 188.5 million shares and 192.1 million shares of common stock outstanding, respectively. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , ESH REIT’s common equity consisted of the following: (i) approximately 250.5 million shares of Class A common stock outstanding (approximately 57% of its common equity), all of which were owned by the Corporation, and (ii) approximately 188.5 million shares and 192.1 million shares of Class B common stock outstanding, respectively, approximately 43% of its common equity. Paired Share Repurchase Program — In January and February 2018, the Boards of Directors of the Corporation and ESH REIT authorized an extension of the maturity date of the existing combined Paired Share repurchase program through December 31, 2018, and authorized an increase to the amount of the combined Paired Share repurchase program to up to $400 million of Paired Shares, each effective January 1, 2018. 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). As of September 30, 2018 , the Corporation and ESH REIT had repurchased and retired approximately 17.0 million Paired Shares for approximately $176.5 million and $105.4 million , respectively. 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 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 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. With respect to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and segments disclosure (see Note 11), certain prior period amounts have been presented for comparability to current period presentation.

Summary of Significant Accounti

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, 2017 included in the combined annual report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 27, 2018. 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, 2018 , the results of the Company’s operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and changes in equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 . Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance because of the impact of seasonal and short-term variations, as well as the impact of acquisitions, dispositions and hotel renovations. 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 determine the estimated useful lives of tangible assets as well as in the assessment of tangible and intangible assets for impairment (see Note 5), estimated liabilities for insurance reserves and income taxes and the grant-date fair value of certain equity-based awards. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Property Acquisitions —The purchase price of net tangible and identified intangible assets and liabilities are recorded based on their relative fair values on the date of acquisition. The fair value of acquired land, site improvements, building and improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment are determined on an “if-vacant” basis considering a variety of factors, including the physical condition and quality of the hotels, estimated rates and valuation assumptions consistent with current market conditions, independent appraisals and other relevant market data obtained in connection with the acquisition of the hotels. The results of operations of acquired hotel properties are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations since their dates of acquisition. 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 expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives which range from two to 49 years . Management assesses the performance of long-lived assets for potential impairment quarterly, as well as when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of property and equipment is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of a hotel property (or group of hotel properties) to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the hotel property (or group of hotel properties). Impairment is recognized when estimated future undiscounted cash flows, including proceeds from disposition, are less than the carrying value of the hotel property (or group of hotel properties). To the extent that a hotel property (or group of hotel properties) is impaired, the excess carrying amount over estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment charge and reduces income from operations. Fair value is determined based upon discounted cash flows of the hotel property (or group of hotel properties), bids, quoted market prices or independent appraisals, as considered necessary. 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, or multiple hotel properties, could occur in a future period in which conditions change (see Note 5). Revenue Generated from Owned and Operated Hotels — Revenue generated from owned and operated hotels consists of room revenues and other hotel revenues which are recognized when services are provided. Each room night consumed by a guest with a cancellable reservation represents a contract whereby the Company has a performance obligation to provide the room night at an agreed upon price. For room nights consumed by a guest with a non-cancellable reservation, the entire reservation period represents the contract term whereby the Company has a performance obligation to provide the room night or room nights at an agreed upon price. When a reservation is made, the Company deems that the parties have approved the contract in accordance with customary business practices and are committed to perform their respective obligations. At such time, each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred are identified, payment terms for services to be transferred are specified, the contract has commercial substance and, in most instances, it is probable the Company will collect substantially all consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for services. The Company and the guest agree upon a fixed rate at the time of booking; therefore, the sales price is identifiable and allocated to the Company’s single performance obligation. In certain instances, variable consideration may exist with respect to the transaction price such as discounts, coupons, price concessions and re-rates upon guest checkout. In evaluating its performance obligation, the Company bundles the obligation to provide the guest the room itself with other obligations (such as free WiFi, grab and go breakfast, access to on-site laundry facilities and parking) as the additional items are not distinct and separable because the guest cannot benefit from the additional amenities without the consumed room night. The Company's obligation to provide the additional items or services are not separately identifiable from the fundamental contractual obligation (i.e., providing the room and its contents). The Company has no performance obligations once a guest’s stay is complete. For cancellable reservations, the Company recognizes revenue as each performance obligation (i.e., each room night) is met. Such contract is renewed if the guest continues their stay. For non-cancellable reservations, the Company recognizes revenue over the term of the performance period (i.e., the reservation period) as room nights are consumed. For non-cancellable reservations, the room rate is typically fixed over the reservation period. The Company uses an output method based on performance completed to date (i.e, room nights consumed) to determine the amount of revenue to recognize on a daily basis if the length of a non-cancellable reservation exceeds one night as consumption of the room nights indicates when the services are transferred to the guest. Certain revenues generated from owned and operated hotels are generated through third party intermediaries or distribution channels. Regardless of the basis on which the Company is compensated (i.e., gross or net), the Company is responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide hotel service (i.e., the performance obligation) to the guest and retains inventory risk. In these instances, the Company does not have full discretion in establishing the guest’s price for the room and, in almost all instances, does not have access to the room rate charged to the guest. Since the Company controls the inventory and hotel services provided, and because third party intermediaries are typically not contractually required to consume or guarantee room night consumption, the Company has concluded that it is the principal in these transactions. As such, the Company is required to gross-up amounts received from these third party intermediaries such that revenue should equal the price charged to the guest. Third party intermediaries that pay the Company directly typically charge the guest additional fees, blend the room offering with other offerings at amounts which, to the Company, are not allocable, and may adjust the price without approval. As such, the Company is unable to calculate the specific room rate charged to the guest. Since any gross-up estimate the Company would make has significant uncertainty that ultimately would not be resolved, despite its role as principal, the Company records the net amount paid by certain third party intermediaries as room revenues. Revenue Generated from Franchise and Management Fees — The Company recognizes fees earned under franchise and management agreements with third parties as performance obligations are satisfied (i.e., services are provided). Franchise and management fees are typically based on a percentage of hotel revenues and, as a result, fees vary from period to period. A component of management fees includes a dollar-for-dollar reimbursement of hotel-level salaries, as applicable, and certain other costs. A portion of fees associated with a typical hotel management agreement is expected to be categorized as variable consideration. In the event that fees include variables that extend beyond the current period, the Company uses the most likely amount method to determine the amount of revenue to record based on a reasonable revenue forecast for the applicable hotel. The Company does not expect to have constraining estimates, as hotel revenues are obtained monthly and used to calculate franchise and management fees monthly. The Company uses an output method based on performance completed to date (i.e., franchise and management services performed) to determine the amount of revenue to recognize on a daily basis as services associated with the respective franchise and management fees are earned over time. Segments —The Company has two operating segments based on the management of its business, owned hotels and franchise and management. The Company assesses the performance of these segments on an individual basis (see Note 11). Recently Issued Accounting Standards Fair Value Measurement— In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update which modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement . This update will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and may be early adopted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. Intangibles-Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software— In August 2018, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license. This update will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and may be early adopted. The Company expects to apply this update prospectively, and does not expect adoption of this update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. Compensation—Stock Compensation— In June 2018, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which expands the scope of Topic 718, Stock Compensation to include share-based payments granted to non-employees in exchange for goods or services. The new guidance simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to non-employees for goods or services by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments granted to employees, with certain exceptions. Under the new guidance, non-employee share-based payment awards included within the scope of Topic 718 will be measured at the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments. In addition, classification of non-employee share-based payment awards will be subject to the requirements of Topic 718 unless modified after the good has been delivered and/or the service has been rendered and any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments have been satisfied. This approach will eliminate the requirement to reassess classification of such awards upon vesting. This update will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company expects to apply this amendment retrospectively, and does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award requires an entity to apply modification accounting. The Company adopted this update on January 1, 2018, using a prospective transition method. The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive Income— In February 2018, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”). This update will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the TCJA is recognized. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. Goodwill— In January 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standards update in which the guidance on testing for goodwill was updated to eliminate Step 2 in the determination on whether goodwill should be considered impaired. Annual and/or interim assessments are still required. This update will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and may be adopted early. The Company expects to apply this amendment prospectively, and does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. Statement of Cash Flows— In August and November 2016, the FASB issued accounting standards updates which provide 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. These updates also require amounts generally described as restricted cash to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted these updates on January 1, 2018, using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The adoption of these updates required cash outflows related to debt prepayment and extinguishment costs to be classified as financing activities, which totaled approximately $1.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 . For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , debt modification and extinguishment costs included within net cash provided by operating activities, as originally presented, totaled approximately $1.2 million and have been adjusted. An additional effect of the adoption of these accounting standards was to include restricted cash in the beginning and end of period balances instead of in investing activities, as they were previously. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , changes in restricted cash included within net cash used in investing activities, as originally presented, was approximately $0.2 million . Derivatives and Hedging— In August 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which changes the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedging results. This update expands and refines hedge accounting and aligns recognition and presentation of its effects within the financial statements. The Company adopted this update on January 1, 2018 and recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to reclassify a previously recorded loss of approximately $0.7 million from retained earnings to accumulated other comprehensive income. In addition to the cumulative-effect adjustment, impacts of adoption included the elimination of hedge ineffectiveness related to designated interest rate swaps, the presentation of all interest rate hedge related items that impact earnings in the interest expense line item in the consolidated statement of operations and an election to perform qualitative assessments of hedge effectiveness. 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. Since February 2016, the FASB has issued several additional accounting standards updates related to the new lease standard, including to provide various transition methods and optional practical expedients. For example, in July 2018, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which permits an additional (and optional) transition method that allows an entity to report the comparative periods presented in the period of adoption under current U.S. GAAP (ASC 840, Leases ). These updates will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company will adopt these updates on January 1, 2019, and expects to elect the following optional practical expedients related to (i) the identification and classification of leases that commenced before the effective date, (ii) initial direct costs for leases that commenced before the effective date, (iii) the ability to use hindsight in evaluating lessee options to extend or terminate a lease or to purchase the underlying asset, (iv) land easements, and (v) the evaluation of components of a contract. The election to apply these practical expedients means the Company will continue to account for leases that commenced before the effective date in accordance with current U.S. GAAP unless the lease is modified, except that the Company will recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all operating leases based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments that are disclosed under current U.S. GAAP. The Company is evaluating whether it will adopt the additional transition method described above, the result of which would be to apply the new lease standard at the adoption date. If such transition method is elected, the Company’s reporting for the comparative periods presented in the financial statements in which it adopts the new lease standard will continue to be presented in accordance with current U.S. GAAP. As of September 30, 2018 , using its incremental borrowing rate with respect to the future minimum lease payments under its operating leases, the Company has preliminarily estimated that the lease liability would be between approximately $11.5 million and $15.5 million and the right of use asset would be between approximately $3.5 million and $7.5 million , which includes adjustments for accrued lease payments, above market lease liabilities and lease incentives. The Company does not expect the adoption of these updates to have a material effect on its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. The recording of a lease obligation may increase total indebtedness for purposes of financial covenants within certain of the Company’s existing debt agreements; however, the Company currently does not expect this increase to cause instances of non-compliance with any of these covenants. Contractual Revenue— The Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , on January 1, 2018, to all contracts as of January 1, 2018, on a modified retrospective basis. The core principle of ASC 606 is that recognized revenue reflects consideration to which a company is entitled in exchange for specifically identified services. ASC 606 requires companies to use the following five-step model as part of the revenue recognition process: (1) identify the contract; (2) identify performance obligations; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when performance obligations are satisfied. Adoption of ASC 606 had no impact to the recognition of revenue in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and no cumulative effect adjustment was recognized upon adoption. Adoption of the standard resulted in enhanced revenue-related disclosures that provide information with respect to the Company’s analysis of certain contracts, significant judgments, the disaggregation of owned hotel room revenues by booking source and length of guest stay, outstanding contract liabilities and contract liabilities recognized as revenue (see Note 12). The Company elected to apply its contract review to portfolios of contracts with similar characteristics as the Company expects the effects of applying these contracts on a portfolio basis versus an individual basis would not be materially different in the context of the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. Contract portfolios reviewed include: (i) rooms sold on-site at the property, through the Company’s call center and website, (ii) rooms sold by the Company’s sales team, and (iii) rooms sold by traditional and online travel agents, including merchant and opaque arrangements. The Company elected not to disclose the transaction price related to future performance obligations due to the fact that the current expected duration of all material contracts for hotel stays are less than one year. Additionally, the Company elected to recognize revenue in the amount to which it has a right to bill third parties under their respective franchise and/or management agreements as it has a right to consideration from these third parties in an amount that corresponds directly with the third parties’ hotel revenues. Although ASC 606 did not have a material impact to the Company’s results of operations, the Company implemented changes to its processes and procedures related to revenue recognition and the control activities within them. These included the development of new policies based on the five-step model outlined above, training and ongoing contract review procedures with respect to the validation of information used in financial statement disclosures.

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. 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, 2017 included in the combined annual report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 27, 2018. 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, 2018 , the results of ESH REIT’s operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and changes in equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 . Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance because of acquisitions, dispositions and 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 determine the estimated useful lives of tangible assets as well as in the assessment of tangible assets for impairment (see Note 5) and estimated liabilities for insurance reserves. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Property Acquisitions —The purchase price of net tangible and identified intangible assets and liabilities are recorded based on their relative fair values on the date of acquisition. The fair value of acquired land, site improvements, building and improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment are determined on an “if-vacant” basis considering a variety of factors, including the physical condition and quality of the hotels, estimated rates and valuation assumptions consistent with current market conditions, independent appraisals and other relevant market data obtained in connection with the acquisition of the hotels. The results of operations of acquired hotel properties are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations since their dates of acquisition. 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 expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives which range from two to 49 years . Management assesses the performance of long-lived assets for potential impairment quarterly, 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 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 discounted cash flows of a group of hotel properties, bids, quoted market prices or independent appraisals, as considered necessary. 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, an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of a group of hotel properties could occur in a future period in which conditions change (see Note 5). Revenue Recognition —ESH REIT’s sole source of revenues is rental revenue derived from leases with subsidiaries of the Corporation. ESH REIT records rental revenues on a straight-line basis as they are earned during the lease terms. 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. This amount, approximately $2.3 million as of September 30, 2018 , decreased through the remainder of the initial lease terms to zero at October 31, 2018. The leases have been renewed and the minimum and percentage rents have been adjusted to reflect current arms-length terms. 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 revenues of the leased hotels, are recognized when such amounts are fixed and determinable (i.e., only when percentage rental revenue thresholds have been achieved). Recently Issued Accounting Standards Fair Value Measurement— In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update which modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement . This update will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and may be early adopted. ESH REIT does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. Compensation—Stock Compensation— In June 2018, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which expands the scope of Topic 718, Stock Compensation to include share-based payments granted to non-employees in exchange for goods or services. The new guidance simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to non-employees for goods or services by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments granted to employees, with certain exceptions. Under the new guidance, non-employee share-based payment awards included within the scope of Topic 718 will be measured at the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments. In addition, classification of non-employee share-based payment awards will be subject to the requirements of Topic 718 unless modified after the good has been delivered and/or the service has been rendered and any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments have been satisfied. This approach will eliminate the requirement to reassess classification of such awards upon vesting. This update will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. ESH REIT expects to apply this amendment retrospectively, and does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award requires an entity to apply modification accounting. ESH REIT adopted this update on January 1, 2018, using a prospective transition method. The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on ESH REIT’s consolidated financial statements. Goodwill— In January 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standards update in which the guidance on testing for goodwill was updated to eliminate Step 2 in the determination on whether goodwill should be considered impaired. Annual and/or interim assessments are still required. This update will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and may be adopted early. ESH REIT expects to apply this amendment prospectively, and does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. Statement of Cash Flows— In August and November 2016, the FASB issued accounting standards updates which provide 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. These updates also require amounts generally described as restricted cash to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts on the statement of cash flows. ESH REIT adopted these updates on January 1, 2018, using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The adoption of these updates required cash outflows related to debt prepayment and extinguishment costs to be classified as financing activities, which totaled approximately $1.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 . For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , debt modification and extinguishment costs included within net cash provided by operating activities, as originally presented, totaled approximately $1.2 million and have been adjusted. An additional effect of the adoption of these accounting standards was to include restricted cash in the beginning and end of period balances instead of in investing activities, as they were previously. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , changes in restricted cash included within net cash used in investing activities, as originally presented, was approximately $0.3 million . Derivatives and Hedging— In August 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which changes the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedging results. This update expands and refines hedge accounting and aligns recognition and presentation of its effects within the financial statements. ESH REIT adopted this update on January 1, 2018 and recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to reclassify a previously recorded loss of approximately $0.7 million from retained earnings to accumulated other comprehensive income. In addition to the cumulative-effect adjustment, impacts of adoption included the elimination of hedge ineffectiveness related to designated interest rate swaps, the presentation of all interest rate hedge related items that impact earnings in the interest expense line item in the consolidated statement of operations and an election to perform qualitative assessments of hedge effectiveness. 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. Since February 2016, the FASB has issued several additional accounting standards updates related to the new lease standard, including to provide various transition methods and optional practical expedients. For example, in July 2018, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which permits an additional (and optional) transition method that allows an entity to report the comparative periods presented in the period of adoption under current U.S. GAAP (ASC 840, Leases ). These updates will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. ESH REIT will adopt these updates on January 1, 2019, and expects to elect the following optional practical expedients related to (i) the identification and classification of leases that commenced before the effective date, (ii) initial direct costs for leases that commenced before the effective date, (iii) the ability to use hindsight in evaluating lessee options to extend or terminate a lease or to purchase the underlying asset, (iv) land easements, and (v) the evaluation of components of a contract. The election to apply these practical expedients means ESH REIT will continue to account for leases that commenced before the effective date in accordance with current U.S. GAAP unless the lease is modified, except that ESH REIT will recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all operating leases based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments that are disclosed under current U.S. GAAP. ESH REIT is evaluating whether it will adopt the additional transition method described above, the result of which would be to apply the new lease standard at the adoption date. If such transition method is elected, ESH REIT’s reporting for the comparative periods presented in the financial statements in which it adopts the new lease standard will continue to be presented in accordance with current U.S. GAAP. As of September 30, 2018 , using its incremental borrowing rate with respect to the future minimum lease payments under its operating leases, ESH REIT has preliminarily estimated that the lease liability would be between approximately $6.0 million and $10.0 million and the right of use asset would be between approximately $0.5 million and $4.5 million , which includes adjustments for accrued lease payments, above market lease liabilities and lease incentives. ESH REIT does not expect the adoption of these updates to have a material effect on its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. The recording of a lease obligation may increase total indebtedness for purposes of financial covenants within certain of ESH REIT’s existing debt agreements; however, ESH REIT currently does not expect this increase to cause instances of non-compliance with any of these covenants.

Hotel Acquisitions and Dispositions	HOTEL ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS ACQUISITIONS On May 30, 2018, the Company acquired a hotel from Legacy Rock Hill, LLC for cash consideration of approximately $13.0 million . Other than ordinary components of prorated net working capital, no liabilities were assumed in the purchase. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires that the consideration be allocated to acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their acquisition date fair values. The vast majority of the purchase price was allocated to building and improvements. Legal, professional and other costs directly related to the acquisition were approximately $(0.1) million and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively, and are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The purchase price allocation among the assets acquired is as follows (in thousands, except for estimated useful lives): Amount Estimated Land and site improvements $ 1,397 3-20 years Building and improvements 10,488 4-49 years Furniture, fixtures and equipment 1,115 2-10 years Total purchase price $ 13,000 For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , approximately $0.5 million and $0.6 million , respectively, in room and other hotel revenues and $0.1 million and $0.1 million , respectively, in income from operations are included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations related to this hotel. Prior to its acquisition by the Company, the hotel opened in late 2017. DISPOSITIONS 2018 Dispositions — In September 2018, the Company sold a total of 32 hotels in two separate transactions for $122.6 million . The carrying value of these hotels, including net working capital and allocable goodwill, net of impairment charges recorded prior to sale, was approximately $116.9 million . These transactions resulted in a total gain on sale of approximately $3.8 million , net of closing costs and adjustments, which is reported in gain on sale of hotel properties during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. In February 2018, the Company sold 25 hotels for approximately $112.1 million . The carrying value of these hotels, including net working capital and allocable goodwill, net of an impairment charge recorded prior to sale, was approximately $104.7 million . In March 2018, the Company sold one additional hotel for approximately $44.8 million . The carrying value of the hotel, including allocable goodwill, was approximately $13.1 million . These transactions resulted in a total gain on sale of approximately $37.8 million , net of closing costs and adjustments, which is reported in gain on sale of hotel properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. 2017 Dispositions — In May 2017, the Company sold its three Extended Stay Canada-branded hotels for 76.0 million Canadian dollars, or approximately $55.3 million . The carrying value of the hotels, including net working capital and allocable goodwill, net of an impairment charge recorded prior to sale, was approximately 56.7 million Canadian dollars, or approximately $41.2 million , prior to the evaluation of existing accumulated foreign currency translation loss.

Additionally, in September 2018, the Company acquired a hotel under construction from Legacy Greenville, LLC for cash consideration of approximately $12.3 million . Because the hotel had not opened at the date of acquisition, the transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of assets rather than a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations . The hotel is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2018. As of September 30, 2018 , these assets are included in development in process. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , the Company, using Level 3 unobservable inputs and, in certain instances, using Level 2 observable inputs recognized impairment charges of $0 and approximately $43.6 million , respectively. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company recognized impairment charges for 21 hotels, generally located in the Midwestern U.S., the majority of which were incurred in connection with evaluating the potential sale of certain non-core assets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , the Company recognized approximately $0 and $20.4 million , respectively, of impairment charges primarily related to its Canadian hotels. Quantitative information with respect to observable inputs consists of non-binding bids or, in certain instances, binding agreements to sell a hotel or portfolio of hotels to one or more third parties. Quantitative information with respect to unobservable inputs consists of internally developed cash flow models that include the following assumptions, among others: projections of revenues, expenses and hotel-related cash flows based on assumed long-term growth rates, demand trends, expected future capital expenditures and estimated discount rates that range from 6% to 10% and terminal capitalization rates that range from 7% to 11% . These assumptions are based on the Company’s historical data and experience, the Company’s budgets, industry projections and micro and macro general economic condition projections. The estimation and evaluation of future cash flows, in particular the holding period for real estate assets and asset composition and/or concentration within real estate portfolios, relies on judgments and assumptions regarding holding period, current and future operating and economic performance, and current and future market conditions. It is possible that such judgments and/or estimates will change; if this occurs, the Company may recognize additional impairment charges reflecting either changes in estimate, circumstance or the estimated market value of its assets.

The 2016 Term Facility amortizes in equal quarterly installments in amounts equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of such loan outstanding on the Third Repricing Amendment effective date, or approximately $12.2 million per year. The remaining balance is payable at maturity. In addition to scheduled amortization, subject to certain exceptions, mandatory prepayments of up to 50% of annual Excess Cash Flow, as defined, may be required based on ESH REIT's Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, as defined. Annual mandatory prepayments are due during the first quarter of the following year. No mandatory prepayments were required in the first quarter of 2018 based on ESH REIT's Excess Cash Flow for the year ended December 31, 2017. The 2016 Term Facility matures on August 30, 2023. ESH REIT has the option to voluntarily prepay outstanding loans under the 2016 Term Facility at any time upon three business days’ prior written notice for LIBOR loans or on one business day’s prior written notice for base rate loans. In February 2018, ESH REIT made a voluntary prepayment of $60.0 million and wrote off approximately $0.6 million of deferred financing costs related to the prepayment.

Prepayments made after November 22, 2018 are not subject to a prepayment penalty. 2016 ESH REIT Revolving Credit Facility — The 2016 ESH REIT Revolving Credit Facility provides for the issuance of up to $50.0 million of letters of credit.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal, ESH REIT incurs a fee of 0.35% or 0.175% on the unutilized revolver balance. ESH REIT is also required to pay customary letter of credit fees and agency fees. As of September 30, 2018 , ESH REIT had no letters of credit outstanding under the facility and available borrowing capacity of $350.0 million . The 2016 ESH REIT Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a springing financial covenant whereby the senior loan-to-value ratio may not exceed 45% when the aggregate principal amount of borrowings and letters of credit under the 2016 ESH REIT Revolving Credit Facility, excluding up to $30.0 million of letters of credit, is equal to or greater than 25% of the aggregate available principal amount of the 2016 ESH REIT Revolving Credit Facility on the applicable fiscal quarter end date. ESH REIT Senior Notes Due 2025 In May 2015 and March 2016, ESH REIT issued $500.0 million and $800.0 million , respectively, of its 5.25% senior notes due in 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) under an indenture (the “Indenture”) with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee, in private placements pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act. The 2025 Notes mature on May 1, 2025 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The 2025 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis by each of ESH REIT’s subsidiaries that guarantee ESH REIT’s obligations under the 2016 ESH REIT Credit Facilities. The 2025 Notes rank equally in right of payment with ESH REIT’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, and senior in right of payment to all future subordinated indebtedness, if any. The 2025 Notes are effectively junior to any of ESH REIT’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. ESH REIT may redeem the 2025 Notes at any time on or after May 1, 2020, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 102.625% of the principal amount, declining annually to 100% of the principal amount from May 1, 2023 and thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Prior to May 1, 2020, ESH REIT may redeem the 2025 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus a “make-whole” premium, as defined in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest. 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 Indenture also contains certain customary events of default, including, but not limited to, cross-defaults to certain other indebtedness. If an event of default occurs, the holders of the Notes and the Trustee are entitled to take various actions, including declaring the 2025 Notes immediately due and payable. As of September 30, 2018 , ESH REIT was in compliance with all covenants set forth in the Indenture. Corporation Revolving Credit Facility On August 30, 2016, the Corporation entered into a revolving credit facility (the “2016 Corporation Revolving Credit Facility”) of $50.0 million .

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 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. 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. 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. The Company recorded a provision for federal, state and foreign income taxes of approximately $15.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 , an effective rate of approximately 16.6% , as compared with a provision of approximately $20.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , an effective rate of approximately 23.5% . The Company recorded a provision for federal, state and foreign income taxes of approximately $35.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , an effective tax rate of approximately 17.0% , as compared with a provision of approximately $40.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , an effective rate of approximately 23.6% . The Company’s effective rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to ESH REIT’s status as a REIT under the provisions of the Code. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , the Company was subject to a federal statutory income tax rate of 35%. Due to the TCJA, the Company's federal income tax rate decreased to 21% , effective January 1, 2018. As of September 30, 2018 , the Company has not completed its accounting for all tax effects related to the enactment of the TCJA. The Company estimated the remeasurement of its net deferred tax asset based on the 21% federal corporate income tax rate and recorded provisional deferred income tax expense of approximately $4.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2017. The Company is still analyzing the TCJA and refining its calculations, including the TCJA’s effect on state income taxes, the transition rules applicable to the deductibility of certain types of expenses and certain other matters, all of which are subject to complex rules and continued interpretation. The Company expects to complete its analysis prior to filing its 2017 federal tax return, which will occur during the prescribed measurement period. At that time, which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company will conclude on further adjustments, if any, to be recorded in addition to the approximately $4.1 million provisional expense recorded during the fourth quarter of 2017. The Company’s income tax returns for the years 2015 to present are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and other tax returns for the years 2013 to present are subject to examination by other taxing authorities. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, Extended Stay America, Inc. was notified by the IRS that it would be subject to an audit for the 2016 tax year. As this audit is still in process, the timing of the resolution and any payments that may be required cannot be determined at this time. The Company believes that, to the extent a liability may exist, it is appropriately reserved.

Under the LTIPs, the Corporation and ESH REIT may issue to eligible employees or directors 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 8.0 million , of which no more than 4.0 million 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, 2018 , approximately 5.1 million Paired Shares were available for future issuance under the LTIPs. Equity-based compensation expense is recognized by amortizing the grant-date fair value 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 Corporation common stock and a portion is allocated to a share of ESH REIT Class B common stock. Equity-based compensation expense was approximately $1.8 million and $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, and approximately $6.0 million and $9.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

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 one to four years , subject to the grantee’s continued employment or service. 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 vesting period to reflect the probability of achievement of performance targets defined in the award agreements. These awards vest over a one -year period, 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. The grant-date fair value of awards with market vesting conditions is based on an independent third-party valuation. 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 companies identified in the award agreements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , 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 2.86 years Risk-free rate of return 2.37 % Expected dividend yield 4.61 %

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, 2017 included in the combined annual report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 27, 2018. 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, 2018 , the results of the Company’s operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and changes in equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 . Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance because of the impact of seasonal and short-term variations, as well as the impact of acquisitions, dispositions and hotel renovations.
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 determine the estimated useful lives of tangible assets as well as in the assessment of tangible and intangible assets for impairment (see Note 5), estimated liabilities for insurance reserves and income taxes and the grant-date fair value of certain equity-based awards. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Property Acquisitions	Property Acquisitions —The purchase price of net tangible and identified intangible assets and liabilities are recorded based on their relative fair values on the date of acquisition. The fair value of acquired land, site improvements, building and improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment are determined on an “if-vacant” basis considering a variety of factors, including the physical condition and quality of the hotels, estimated rates and valuation assumptions consistent with current market conditions, independent appraisals and other relevant market data obtained in connection with the acquisition of the hotels. The results of operations of acquired hotel properties are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations since their dates of acquisition.
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 expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives which range from two to 49 years . Management assesses the performance of long-lived assets for potential impairment quarterly, as well as when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of property and equipment is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of a hotel property (or group of hotel properties) to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the hotel property (or group of hotel properties). Impairment is recognized when estimated future undiscounted cash flows, including proceeds from disposition, are less than the carrying value of the hotel property (or group of hotel properties). To the extent that a hotel property (or group of hotel properties) is impaired, the excess carrying amount over estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment charge and reduces income from operations. Fair value is determined based upon discounted cash flows of the hotel property (or group of hotel properties), bids, quoted market prices or independent appraisals, as considered necessary. 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, or multiple hotel properties, could occur in a future period in which conditions change (see Note 5).
Segments	Segments —The Company has two operating segments based on the management of its business, owned hotels and franchise and management. The Company assesses the performance of these segments on an individual basis (see Note 11).
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards Fair Value Measurement— In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update which modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement . This update will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and may be early adopted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. Intangibles-Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software— In August 2018, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license. This update will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and may be early adopted. The Company expects to apply this update prospectively, and does not expect adoption of this update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. Compensation—Stock Compensation— In June 2018, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which expands the scope of Topic 718, Stock Compensation to include share-based payments granted to non-employees in exchange for goods or services. The new guidance simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to non-employees for goods or services by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments granted to employees, with certain exceptions. Under the new guidance, non-employee share-based payment awards included within the scope of Topic 718 will be measured at the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments. In addition, classification of non-employee share-based payment awards will be subject to the requirements of Topic 718 unless modified after the good has been delivered and/or the service has been rendered and any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments have been satisfied. This approach will eliminate the requirement to reassess classification of such awards upon vesting. This update will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company expects to apply this amendment retrospectively, and does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award requires an entity to apply modification accounting. The Company adopted this update on January 1, 2018, using a prospective transition method. The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive Income— In February 2018, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”). This update will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the TCJA is recognized. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. Goodwill— In January 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standards update in which the guidance on testing for goodwill was updated to eliminate Step 2 in the determination on whether goodwill should be considered impaired. Annual and/or interim assessments are still required. This update will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and may be adopted early. The Company expects to apply this amendment prospectively, and does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. Statement of Cash Flows— In August and November 2016, the FASB issued accounting standards updates which provide 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. These updates also require amounts generally described as restricted cash to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted these updates on January 1, 2018, using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The adoption of these updates required cash outflows related to debt prepayment and extinguishment costs to be classified as financing activities, which totaled approximately $1.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 . For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , debt modification and extinguishment costs included within net cash provided by operating activities, as originally presented, totaled approximately $1.2 million and have been adjusted. An additional effect of the adoption of these accounting standards was to include restricted cash in the beginning and end of period balances instead of in investing activities, as they were previously. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , changes in restricted cash included within net cash used in investing activities, as originally presented, was approximately $0.2 million . Derivatives and Hedging— In August 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which changes the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedging results. This update expands and refines hedge accounting and aligns recognition and presentation of its effects within the financial statements. The Company adopted this update on January 1, 2018 and recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to reclassify a previously recorded loss of approximately $0.7 million from retained earnings to accumulated other comprehensive income. In addition to the cumulative-effect adjustment, impacts of adoption included the elimination of hedge ineffectiveness related to designated interest rate swaps, the presentation of all interest rate hedge related items that impact earnings in the interest expense line item in the consolidated statement of operations and an election to perform qualitative assessments of hedge effectiveness. 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. Since February 2016, the FASB has issued several additional accounting standards updates related to the new lease standard, including to provide various transition methods and optional practical expedients. For example, in July 2018, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which permits an additional (and optional) transition method that allows an entity to report the comparative periods presented in the period of adoption under current U.S. GAAP (ASC 840, Leases ). These updates will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company will adopt these updates on January 1, 2019, and expects to elect the following optional practical expedients related to (i) the identification and classification of leases that commenced before the effective date, (ii) initial direct costs for leases that commenced before the effective date, (iii) the ability to use hindsight in evaluating lessee options to extend or terminate a lease or to purchase the underlying asset, (iv) land easements, and (v) the evaluation of components of a contract. The election to apply these practical expedients means the Company will continue to account for leases that commenced before the effective date in accordance with current U.S. GAAP unless the lease is modified, except that the Company will recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all operating leases based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments that are disclosed under current U.S. GAAP. The Company is evaluating whether it will adopt the additional transition method described above, the result of which would be to apply the new lease standard at the adoption date. If such transition method is elected, the Company’s reporting for the comparative periods presented in the financial statements in which it adopts the new lease standard will continue to be presented in accordance with current U.S. GAAP. As of September 30, 2018 , using its incremental borrowing rate with respect to the future minimum lease payments under its operating leases, the Company has preliminarily estimated that the lease liability would be between approximately $11.5 million and $15.5 million and the right of use asset would be between approximately $3.5 million and $7.5 million , which includes adjustments for accrued lease payments, above market lease liabilities and lease incentives. The Company does not expect the adoption of these updates to have a material effect on its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. The recording of a lease obligation may increase total indebtedness for purposes of financial covenants within certain of the Company’s existing debt agreements; however, the Company currently does not expect this increase to cause instances of non-compliance with any of these covenants. Contractual Revenue— The Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , on January 1, 2018, to all contracts as of January 1, 2018, on a modified retrospective basis. The core principle of ASC 606 is that recognized revenue reflects consideration to which a company is entitled in exchange for specifically identified services. ASC 606 requires companies to use the following five-step model as part of the revenue recognition process: (1) identify the contract; (2) identify performance obligations; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when performance obligations are satisfied. Adoption of ASC 606 had no impact to the recognition of revenue in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and no cumulative effect adjustment was recognized upon adoption. Adoption of the standard resulted in enhanced revenue-related disclosures that provide information with respect to the Company’s analysis of certain contracts, significant judgments, the disaggregation of owned hotel room revenues by booking source and length of guest stay, outstanding contract liabilities and contract liabilities recognized as revenue (see Note 12). The Company elected to apply its contract review to portfolios of contracts with similar characteristics as the Company expects the effects of applying these contracts on a portfolio basis versus an individual basis would not be materially different in the context of the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. Contract portfolios reviewed include: (i) rooms sold on-site at the property, through the Company’s call center and website, (ii) rooms sold by the Company’s sales team, and (iii) rooms sold by traditional and online travel agents, including merchant and opaque arrangements. The Company elected not to disclose the transaction price related to future performance obligations due to the fact that the current expected duration of all material contracts for hotel stays are less than one year. Additionally, the Company elected to recognize revenue in the amount to which it has a right to bill third parties under their respective franchise and/or management agreements as it has a right to consideration from these third parties in an amount that corresponds directly with the third parties’ hotel revenues. Although ASC 606 did not have a material impact to the Company’s results of operations, the Company implemented changes to its processes and procedures related to revenue recognition and the control activities within them. These included the development of new policies based on the five-step model outlined above, training and ongoing contract review procedures with respect to the validation of information used in financial statement disclosures.

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. 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, 2017 included in the combined annual report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 27, 2018. 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, 2018 , the results of ESH REIT’s operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and changes in equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 .

Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives which range from two to 49 years . Management assesses the performance of long-lived assets for potential impairment quarterly, 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 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 discounted cash flows of a group of hotel properties, bids, quoted market prices or independent appraisals, as considered necessary. 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, an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of a group of hotel properties could occur in a future period in which conditions change (see Note 5).
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition —ESH REIT’s sole source of revenues is rental revenue derived from leases with subsidiaries of the Corporation. ESH REIT records rental revenues on a straight-line basis as they are earned during the lease terms. 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. This amount, approximately $2.3 million as of September 30, 2018 , decreased through the remainder of the initial lease terms to zero at October 31, 2018. The leases have been renewed and the minimum and percentage rents have been adjusted to reflect current arms-length terms. 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 revenues of the leased hotels, are recognized when such amounts are fixed and determinable (i.e., only when percentage rental revenue thresholds have been achieved).
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards Fair Value Measurement— In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update which modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement .

Statement of Cash Flows— In August and November 2016, the FASB issued accounting standards updates which provide 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. These updates also require amounts generally described as restricted cash to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts on the statement of cash flows. ESH REIT adopted these updates on January 1, 2018, using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The adoption of these updates required cash outflows related to debt prepayment and extinguishment costs to be classified as financing activities, which totaled approximately $1.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 . For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , debt modification and extinguishment costs included within net cash provided by operating activities, as originally presented, totaled approximately $1.2 million and have been adjusted. An additional effect of the adoption of these accounting standards was to include restricted cash in the beginning and end of period balances instead of in investing activities, as they were previously. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , changes in restricted cash included within net cash used in investing activities, as originally presented, was approximately $0.3 million . Derivatives and Hedging— In August 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which changes the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedging results. This update expands and refines hedge accounting and aligns recognition and presentation of its effects within the financial statements. ESH REIT adopted this update on January 1, 2018 and recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to reclassify a previously recorded loss of approximately $0.7 million from retained earnings to accumulated other comprehensive income.

Since February 2016, the FASB has issued several additional accounting standards updates related to the new lease standard, including to provide various transition methods and optional practical expedients. For example, in July 2018, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which permits an additional (and optional) transition method that allows an entity to report the comparative periods presented in the period of adoption under current U.S. GAAP (ASC 840, Leases ). These updates will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. ESH REIT will adopt these updates on January 1, 2019, and expects to elect the following optional practical expedients related to (i) the identification and classification of leases that commenced before the effective date, (ii) initial direct costs for leases that commenced before the effective date, (iii) the ability to use hindsight in evaluating lessee options to extend or terminate a lease or to purchase the underlying asset, (iv) land easements, and (v) the evaluation of components of a contract. The election to apply these practical expedients means ESH REIT will continue to account for leases that commenced before the effective date in accordance with current U.S. GAAP unless the lease is modified, except that ESH REIT will recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all operating leases based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments that are disclosed under current U.S. GAAP. ESH REIT is evaluating whether it will adopt the additional transition method described above, the result of which would be to apply the new lease standard at the adoption date. If such transition method is elected, ESH REIT’s reporting for the comparative periods presented in the financial statements in which it adopts the new lease standard will continue to be presented in accordance with current U.S. GAAP. As of September 30, 2018 , using its incremental borrowing rate with respect to the future minimum lease payments under its operating leases, ESH REIT has preliminarily estimated that the lease liability would be between approximately $6.0 million and $10.0 million and the right of use asset would be between approximately $0.5 million and $4.5 million , which includes adjustments for accrued lease payments, above market lease liabilities and lease incentives. ESH REIT does not expect the adoption of these updates to have a material effect on its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations or cash flows.
