The impairment charge for the Hilton Santa Cruz Scotts Valley was based on the income approach which utilized a discounted cash flow methodology, supported by the market approach. These valuation techniques are considered Level 3 techniques under the fair value hierarchy.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded impairment charges of $59.3 million. We recorded impairment charges of $35.9 million for the Hilton Costa Mesa and $23.4 million for the Embassy Suites Portland as a result of reduced estimated cash flows resulting from changes to the expected holding periods of these hotel properties.
