The headline earnings strength was tempered by broad softness across the portfolio, with comparable RevPAR falling 2.1% to $155 as occupancy slipped 1.6 percentage points to 75.5% and ADR edged down 0.5% to $205, conditions CEO Leslie Hale attributed to a softer lodging environment rather than company-specific weakness. Disciplined cost controls and the continued ramp of brand conversions helped cushion margin pressure, with comparable Hotel EBITDA margins compressing 90 basis points to 31.1%. Looking ahead, management guided toward the low end of its full-year outlook, calling for Adjusted FFO per diluted share of $1.38 to $1.58, citing anticipated Q3 softness from calendar shifts and tough citywide comparables, while pointing to favorable Q4 tailwinds as a potential offset.
