Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Restricted Cash—Under certain management and debt agreements for our hotel properties existing at September 30, 2020, escrow payments are required for insurance, real estate taxes and debt service. In addition, for certain properties based on the terms of the underlying debt and management agreements, we escrow 4% to 5% of gross revenues for capital improvements. Management Fees—Under hotel management agreements for our hotel properties existing at September 30, 2020, we pay a monthly hotel management fee equal to the greater of approximately $14,000 per hotel (increased annually based on consumer price index adjustments) or 3% of gross revenues, or in some cases 2.5% to 7.0% of gross revenues, as well as annual incentive management fees, if applicable. These management agreements expire from December 2023 through December 2065, with renewal options. If we terminate a management agreement prior to its expiration, we may be liable for estimated management fees through the remaining term, liquidated damages or, in certain circumstances, we may substitute a new management agreement. Income Taxes—We and our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the federal jurisdiction and various states. Tax years 2016 through 2019 remain subject to potential examination by certain federal and state taxing authorities. Litigation—On October 24, 2019, the Company provided notice to Accor of the material breach of its responsibilities under the Accor management agreement for the Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile at 20 East Chestnut Street in Chicago, Illinois. On November 7, 2019, Accor filed a complaint against Ashford TRS Chicago II in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, seeking a declaratory judgment that no breach has occurred. Accor’s complaint was dismissed on or about February 27, 2020. On January 6, 2020, Ashford TRS Chicago II filed a complaint against Accor in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, alleging breach of the Accor management agreement and seeking declaration of its right to terminate the Accor management agreement. On July 20, 2020, Accor filed an Amended Answer and Counterclaims against Ashford TRS Chicago II. Accor asserts two causes of action: First, Accor asserts a counterclaim for declaratory judgment that Accor correctly calculated the amount payable to Ashford TRS Chicago II under the management agreement to “cure” Accor’s performance test failure (the “Cure Amount”). Second, Accor asserts a counterclaim for breach of contract on the basis that Ashford TRS Chicago II breached the management agreement by wrongfully maintaining that the Cure Amount for the 2018 and 2019 Performance Test failure is $1,031,549 instead of $535,120. One of the Company’s hotel management companies is currently involved in litigation regarding its employment policies and practices at multiple California hotels, including one of the Company’s hotels. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the litigation could result in an unfavorable outcome, in which case the Company could experience a loss. The litigation commenced in 2016 and is currently scheduled to go to trial in the first quarter of 2021. The litigation may be settled before trial, in which case the Company estimates that the Company’s potential loss could range between $300,000 and approximately $500,000. If the litigation is resolved at trial, the Company does not believe the potential loss is reasonably estimable at this time. As of September 30, 2020, no amounts have been accrued. In June 2020, each of the Company, Ashford Trust, Ashford Inc., and Lismore, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc. (collectively with the Company, Ashford Trust, Ashford Inc. and Lismore, the “Ashford Companies”), received an administrative subpoena from the SEC. The Company’s administrative subpoena requires the production of documents and other information since January 1, 2018 relating to, among other things, (1) related party transactions among the Ashford Companies (including the Lismore Agreement between the Company and Lismore pursuant to which the Company engaged Lismore to negotiate the refinancing, modification or forbearance of certain mortgage debt) or between any of the Ashford Companies and any officer, director or owner of the Ashford Companies or any entity controlled by any such person, and (2) the Company’s accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls related to such related party transactions. In addition, in October 2020, Mr. Monty J. Bennett, chairman of our board of directors, received an administrative subpoena from the SEC requiring testimony and the production of documents and other information substantially similar to the requests in the subpoenas received by the Ashford Companies. The Company and Mr. Monty J. Bennett are responding to the administrative subpoenas. A class action lawsuit has been filed against one of the Company’s hotel management companies alleging violations of certain California employment laws, which class action affects two hotels owned by subsidiaries of the Company. The court has entered an order granting class certification with respect to: (1) a statewide class of non-exempt employees of our manager who were allegedly deprived of rest breaks as a result of our manager’s previous policy requiring its employees to stay on premises during rest breaks; and (2) a derivative class of non-exempt former employees of our manager who were not paid for allegedly missed breaks upon separation from employment. Notices to potential class members are being prepared. Upon receipt, recipients of the notice will have 60 days to opt out of the class. While we believe it is reasonably possible that we may incur a loss associated with this litigation, because the class size has not yet been determined and there is uncertainty under California law with respect to a significant legal issue, we do not believe any potential loss to the Company is reasonably estimable at this time. As of September 30, 2020, no amounts have been accrued. We are engaged in other various legal proceedings which have arisen but have not been fully adjudicated. The likelihood of loss from these legal proceedings are based on definitions within the contingency accounting literature. Based on estimates of the range of potential losses associated with these matters, management does not believe the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. However, the final results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and if we fail to prevail in one or more of these legal matters, and the associated realized losses exceed our current estimates of the range of potential losses, our consolidated financial position or results of operations could be materially adversely affected in future periods.
