Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] |
Stock Incentive Plans | Stock Incentive Plans We are authorized to issue up to 6,082,664 shares of our common stock under our 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”), of which we have issued or committed to issue 846,517 shares as of December 31, 2018. In addition to these shares, additional shares of common stock could be issued in connection with the performance stock unit awards as further described below. The 2016 Plan replaced the 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended (the "2004 Plan"). We no longer make share grants and issuances under the 2004 Plan, although awards previously made under the 2004 Plan that are outstanding will remain in effect in accordance with the terms of that plan and the applicable award agreements. Restricted Stock Awards Restricted stock awards issued to our officers and employees generally vest over a three-year period from the date of the grant based on continued employment. We measure compensation expense for the restricted stock awards based upon the fair market value of our common stock at the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and is included in corporate expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. A summary of our restricted stock awards from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018 is as follows:
| Number of Shares |  | Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested balance at January 1, 2016 | 474,567 |  |  | $ | 12.72 |
Granted | 461,281 |  |  | 8.94 |
Forfeited | (126,610 | ) |  | 10.08 |
Vested | (241,698 | ) |  | 11.83 |
Unvested balance at December 31, 2016 | 567,540 |  |  | 10.62 |
Granted | 324,502 |  |  | 11.19 |
Forfeited | (16,669 | ) |  | 10.80 |
Vested | (244,411 | ) |  | 11.29 |
Unvested balance at December 31, 2017 | 630,962 |  |  | 10.66 |
Granted | 349,091 |  |  | 10.19 |
Forfeited | (51,061 | ) |  | 10.44 |
Vested | (287,148 | ) |  | 11.02 |
Unvested balance at December 31, 2018 | 641,844 |  |  | $ | 10.25 |
The remaining share awards are expected to vest as follows: 310,117 during 2019, 215,368 during 2020, and 116,359 during 2021. As of December 31, 2018, the unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards was $4.0 million and the weighted-average period over which the unrecognized compensation expense will be recorded is approximately 21 months. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, we recorded $3.1 million, $3.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to restricted stock awards. Performance Stock Units Performance stock units (“PSUs”) are restricted stock units that vest three years from the date of grant. Each executive officer is granted a target number of PSUs (the “PSU Target Award”). For the PSUs issued in 2014 and 2015 and vested in 2017 and 2018, respectively, the actual number of shares of common stock issued to each executive officer was subject to the achievement of certain levels of total stockholder return relative to the total stockholder return of a peer group of publicly-traded lodging REITs over a three-year performance period. There is no payout of shares of our common stock if our total stockholder return falls below the 30th percentile of the total stockholder returns of the peer group. The maximum number of shares of common stock issued to an executive officer is equal to 150% of the PSU Target Award and is earned if our total stockholder return is equal to or greater than the 75th percentile of the total stockholder returns of the peer group. For PSUs issued in 2016 and vesting in 2019, the calculation of total stockholder return relative to the total stockholder return of a peer group over a three-year performance period remained in effect for 75% of the number of PSUs to be earned in the performance period. The remaining 25% is determined based on achieving improvement in market share for each of our hotels over the three-year performance period. For the PSUs issued in 2017 and 2018 and vesting in 2020 and 2021, respectively, the calculation of total stockholder return relative to the total stockholder return of a peer group over a three-year performance period applies to 50% of the number of PSUs to be earned in the performance period. The remaining 50% is determined based on achieving improvement in market share for each of our hotels over the three-year performance period. We measure compensation expense for the PSUs based upon the fair market value of the award at the grant date. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the three-year performance period and is included in corporate expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The grant date fair value of the portion of the PSUs based on our relative total stockholder return is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation performed by a third-party valuation firm. The grant date fair value of the portion of the PSUs based on improvement in market share for each of our hotels is the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. The determination of the grant-date fair values of outstanding awards based on our relative total stockholder return included the following assumptions:
Award Grant Date |  | Volatility |  | Risk-Free Rate |  | Fair Value at Grant Date
February 26, 2016 |  | 24.3 | % |  | 0.93 | % |  | $ | 8.42 |
February 26, 2017 |  | 26.7 | % |  | 1.46 | % |  | $ | 10.89 |
March 2, 2018 |  | 26.9 | % |  | 2.40 | % |  | $ | 9.52 |
April 2, 2018 |  | 26.9 | % |  | 2.37 | % |  | $ | 9.00 |
A summary of our PSUs from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018 is as follows:
| Number of Units |  | Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested balance at January 1, 2016 | 676,359 |  |  | $ | 11.41 |
Granted | 310,398 |  |  | 8.54 |
Additional units from dividends | 38,324 |  |  | 9.37 |
Vested (1) | (242,096 | ) |  | 9.85 |

(1) | The number of shares of common stock earned for the PSUs vested in 2016 was equal to 89.5% of the PSU Target Award.
(2) | There was no payout of shares of our common stock for PSUs that vested on February 27, 2017, as our total stockholder return fell below the 30th percentile of the total stockholder returns of the peer group over the three-year performance period.
(3) | The number of shares of common stock earned for the PSUs vested in 2018 was equal to 51.75% of the PSU Target Award.
