Our Guiding Principles
We strive to be the preeminent lodging REIT, focused on consistently delivering superior, risk-adjusted returns to stockholders through active asset management and a thoughtful external growth strategy while maintaining a strong and flexible balance sheet.

Strong and Flexible Balance Sheet
- Preserve a strong and flexible balance sheet with a targeted leverage ratio of 3x to 5x
- Maintain strong liquidity across the lodging cycle and access to multiple types of financing
