Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include, but are not limited to, the estimated useful lives of long-lived assets and estimates of future cash flows used to test a long-lived asset for recoverability and the fair values of the long-lived assets. The Trust’s operations are affected by numerous factors, including the economy and its effect on the travel and hospitality industries and competition in the hotel industry. The Trust cannot predict if any of the above items will have a significant impact in the future, nor can it predict what impact, if any, the occurrence of these or other events might have on the Trust’s operations and cash flows.
Liquidity Disclosure [Policy Text Block] | LIQUIDITY Our principal source of cash to meet our cash requirements, including distributions, is our share of the Partnership’s cash flow, cash flows from the Albuquerque, New Mexico property and the Yuma, Arizona property. The Partnership’s principal source of cash flows is Hotel operations for the one hotel property it owns and from its partial ownership of the Tucson, Arizona and Ontario, California properties. Our liquidity, including our ability to make distributions to our shareholders, will depend upon our ability and the Partnership’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow from Hotel operations and to service our debt. Hotel operations are significantly affected by occupancy and room rates. Occupancy increased from the first nine months of fiscal year 2013 to the nine months of fiscal year 2014, while rates decreased. Results are also significantly impacted by overall economic conditions and, specifically, conditions in the travel industry. Unfavorable changes in these factors could negatively impact hotel room demand and pricing, which would reduce the Trust’s profit margins on rented studio suites. During fiscal year 2014, capital improvements are expected to be reduced by approximately $725,000 from the prior year and we expect increased cash flow from the reduction of principal and interest payments on the Ontario property. Additionally, we have a $600,000 bank line of credit which matures on June 23, 2014. As of October 31, 2013, the Trust had $600,000 drawn on this line of credit. With anticipated improved operating income, anticipated additional capital offerings, increased cash flow from the reduction of principal and interest payments on the Ontario property, and the anticipated business loan (see Note 11), management believes that it will have enough cash on hand to meet all of our financial obligations as they become due for at least the next year. In addition, our management is analyzing other strategic options available to us, including the refinancing of another property or raising additional funds through additional non-controlling interest sales; however, such transactions may not be available or available on terms that are favorable to the Trust. We anticipate a moderate improvement in the weak overall economic situation that negatively affected results in fiscal years 2012 and 2013, which could result in higher revenues and operating margins. Challenges in fiscal year 2014 are expected to continue to include continued competition for all types of business in the markets in which we operate and our ability to maintain room rates while maintaining market share.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block] | REVENUE RECOGNITION Room, food and beverage, management and licensing fees, and other revenue are recognized as earned as services are provided and items are sold. Sales taxes collected are excluded from gross revenue.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | INCOME PER SHARE Basic and diluted income per Share of Beneficial Interest is computed based on the weighted-average number of Shares of Beneficial Interest and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Dilutive securities are limited to the Class A and Class B units of the Partnership, which are convertible into 3,693,972 shares of the Beneficial Interest, as discussed in Note 1. At the beginning of each period, the aggregate weighted-average of these Shares of Beneficial Interest for units of the Partnership would have been 3,693,972 and 3,694,894. Due to the net losses attributable to controlling interest, these Shares of Beneficial Interest issuable upon conversion of the Class A and Class B Partnership units were anti-dilutive during both nine month and three month periods ended October 31, 2013 and 2012. Therefore no reconciliation of basic and diluted income per share is presented.

- Definition Disclosure of accounting policy for reporting when there is a substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time (generally a year from the balance sheet date). Disclose: (a) pertinent conditions and events giving rise to the assessment of substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, (b) the possible effects of such conditions and events, (c) management's evaluation of the significance of those conditions and events and any mitigating factors, (d) possible discontinuance of operations, (e) management's plans (including relevant prospective financial information), and (f) information about the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities. If management's plans alleviate the substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosure of the principal conditions and events that initially raised the substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern would be expected to be considered. Disclose whether operations for the current or prior years generated sufficient cash to cover current obligations, whether waivers were obtained from creditors relating to the company's default under the provisions of debt agreements and possible effects of such conditions and events, such as: whether there is a possible need to obtain additional financing (debt or equity) or to liquidate certain holdings to offset future cash flow deficiencies. Disclose appropriate parent company information when parent is dependent upon remittances from subsidiaries to satisfy its obligations. + References No definition available. + Details

- Definition Disclosure of accounting policy for revenue recognition. If the entity has different policies for different types of revenue transactions, the policy for each material type of transaction is generally disclosed. If a sales transaction has multiple element arrangements (for example, delivery of multiple products, services or the rights to use assets) the disclosure may indicate the accounting policy for each unit of accounting as well as how units of accounting are determined and valued. The disclosure may encompass important judgment as to appropriateness of principles related to recognition of revenue. The disclosure also may indicate the entity's treatment of any unearned or deferred revenue that arises from the transaction. + References Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 235 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 3 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6367646&loc=d3e18780-107790 Reference 2: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 235 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 1 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6367646&loc=d3e18726-107790 Reference 3: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher SEC -Name Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) -Number Topic 13 -Section B -Paragraph Question 1 Reference 4: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 605 -SubTopic 10 -Section S99 -Paragraph 1 -Subparagraph (SAB TOPIC 13.B.Q1) -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=27012821&loc=d3e214044-122780 Reference 5: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 235 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 4 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6367646&loc=d3e18823-107790 + Details
