Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the combined consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Refer to the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, as certain note disclosures contained in such audited financial statements have been omitted from these interim consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which includes amendments that change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations and
require additional disclosures about discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic
shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the entity’s results and operations would qualify as discontinued operations. In
addition, ASU 2014-08 expands the disclosure requirements for disposals that meet the definition of a discontinued operation and requires entities to disclose information about disposals of individually significant components that do not meet
the definition of discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that
begin after December 15, 2014. The Company has elected to early adopt ASU 2014-08, effective January 1, 2014. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2014, the operations reflected in discontinued operations are only related to the net lease assets that were classified as held for sale at December 31, 2013 and the select service lodging properties classified as held for sale at September 30, 2014. All other asset disposals are now included as a component of income from continuing operations.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective, although it will not affect the accounting for rental related revenues. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on its combined consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2013 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2014 presentations. The reclasses primarily represent reclassifications of revenue and expenses to discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and reclassifications of assets and liabilities to held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013.

Involuntary Conversion of Assets

On August 24, 2014, Napa, California experienced a 6.0 magnitude earthquake that impacted two lodging properties. The Company recorded involuntary losses of $8,328 which represents the book value of the properties and equipment written off for the property damage. As it is probable that the Company will receive insurance proceeds to compensate for the property damages, the Company also recorded an offsetting insurance recovery receivable of $8,328. Any amount expected to be received above the recorded involuntary loss will be treated as a gain and will not be recorded until contingencies are resolved. The involuntary loss and insurance recovery income were recorded in other income on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
The Company will not record an insurance recovery receivable for business interruption losses until the recovery is estimable and it is probable that the Company will be compensated to the extent of estimated business interruption losses. Any proceeds in excess of estimated business interruption losses will be recorded upon receipt.
