Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation | 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION As of January 31, 2020, InnSuites Hospitality Trust (the “Trust”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a publicly traded company with hotels IHT owns and hotels IHT manages. The Trust and its shareholders own interests directly in and through a partnership interest, two hotels with an aggregate of 270 suites in Arizona and New Mexico (the “Hotels”) operated under the federally trademarked name “InnSuites Hotels” or “InnSuites. Hotel Operations: Full service hotels often contain upscale full-service facilities with a large volume of full service accommodations, on-site full-service restaurant(s), and a variety of on-site amenities such as swimming pools, a health club, children’s activities, ballrooms and on-site conference facilities. Moderate or limited service hotels are small to medium-sized hotel establishments that offer a limited amount of on-site amenities. Most moderate or limited service establishments may still offer full service accommodations but lack leisure amenities such as an on-site restaurant or a swimming pool. The Trust considers its Tucson, Arizona hotel and our hotel located in Albuquerque, New Mexico to be moderate or limited service hotels. IHT provides management services on a wide variety of hotels. The Trust is the sole general partner of RRF Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and owned a 74.94% and 74.80% interest in the Partnership as of January 31, 2020 and 2019. The Trust’s weighted average ownership for the years ended January 31, 2020 and 2019 was 75.89% and 72.53%. As of January 31, 2019, the Partnership owned a 51.01% interest in an InnSuites® hotel located in Tucson, Arizona. The Trust owns a direct 20.33% interest in an InnSuites® hotel located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Under certain management agreements, InnSuites Hotels Inc., a subsidiary, manages the Hotels’ daily operations. The Trust also provides the use of the “InnSuites” trademark to the Hotels through wholly-owned InnSuites Hotels. All such expenses and reimbursements between the Trust, InnSuites Hotels and the Partnership have been eliminated in consolidation. On August 1, 2015, the Trust finalized and committed to a plan to sell all the hotel properties. As of May 1, 2016, the Trust listed all the Hotel properties with a local real estate hotel broker, and management believed that each of the assets was being marketed at a price that was reasonable in relation to its current fair value. The Trust believes that the plan to sell these assets will not be withdrawn. Through the Trust’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 31, 2016 filed with the SEC on December 14, 2016, the Trust classified all the Hotel properties as Assets Held for Sale. As of October 31, 2016, the Trust has decided to reclassify these assets back into operations as many of these assets have been marketed for sale for more than one year. At this time, the Trust is unable to predict when, and if, any of these Hotel properties will be sold. The Trust continues to list these properties with local real estate hotel brokers and believes that each of the assets is being marketed at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. On October 24, 2018, the Yuma Hospitality Properties LLLP (the “Yuma entity”) was sold to an unrelated third party for $16,050,000 (see Note 25). IBC Technology Segment; IBC Hospitality Technologies: In fiscal 2019 the Trust sold its wholly owned subsidiary, InnDependent Boutique Collection (“IBC”, “IBC Hotels”, “IBC Hotels, LLC”, “IBC Hospitality” or “IBC Hospitality Technologies”), which had a network of approximately 2,000 unrelated hospitality properties; providing reservation services with proprietary software, plus exclusive marketing distribution and services. The sale occurred in August 2018, and the transaction date was July 2018. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and include all assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the Trust and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain items have been reclassified to conform to the current fiscal year presentation. The Trust exercises unilateral control over the Partnership and the entities listed below. Therefore, the financial statements of the Partnership and the entities listed below are consolidated with the Trust, and all significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT The Partnership Agreement of the Partnership provides for the issuance of two classes of Limited Partnership units, Class A and Class B. Class A and Class B Partnership units are identical in all respects, except that each Class A Partnership unit is convertible into one newly-issued Share of Beneficial Interest of the Trust at any time at the option of the particular limited partner. The Class B Partnership units may only become convertible, each into one newly-issued Share of Beneficial Interest of the Trust, with the approval of the Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion. On both January 31, 2020 and 2019, 211,708 Class A Partnership units were issued and outstanding, representing 1.66% of the total Partnership units. Additionally, as of both January 31, 2020 and 2019, 2,974,038 Class B Partnership units were outstanding to James Wirth, the Trust’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Wirth’s affiliates. If all of the Class A and B Partnership units were converted on January 31, 2020, the limited partners in the Partnership would receive 3,185,746 Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust. As of both January 31, 2020, and 2019, the Trust owns 10,025,771 general partner units in the Partnership, representing 75.89% of the total Partnership units. LIQUIDITY The Trust’s principal source of cash to meet its cash requirements, including distributions to its shareholders, is our share of the Partnership’s cash flow, quarterly distributions from the Albuquerque, New Mexico property and more recently, sales of non-controlling interests in certain of our Hotels. The Partnership’s principal source of cash flow is quarterly distributions from the Tucson, Arizona property. The Trust’s liquidity, including our ability to make distributions to its shareholders, will depend upon the ability of the Trust and the Partnership’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow from hotel operations and to service debt. As of January 31, 2020, the Trust had a related party Demand/Revolving Line of Credit/Promissory Note with an amount receivable of approximately $-0-. The Demand/Revolving Line of Credit/Promissory Note accrues interest at 7.0% per annum and requires interest only payments. The Demand/Revolving Line of Credit/Promissory Note has a maximum borrowing capacity to $1,000,000, which is available through June 30, 2021, and automatically renews year to year, unless either party gives six month advance notice to terminate. As of August 1, 2020, the outstanding net balance receivable on the Demand/Revolving Line of Credit/Promissory Note was $-0-. As of January 31, 2020, the Trust had an Advance to Affiliate credit facilities with an aggregate maximum borrowing capacity of $1,000,000, which is available through June 30, 2021, and automatically renews year to year, unless either party gives six month advance notice to terminate. As of January 31, 2020, the Trust had an amount receivable of the Advances to Affiliate credit facility of approximately $1,000,000. As of August 1, 2020, the amount receivable from the Advance to Affiliate credit facility was approximately $1,000,000. With approximately $1,225,000 of cash and short term investments, as of January 31, 2020, the availability of a $1,000,000 related party Demand/Revolving Line of Credit/Promissory Note, and the availability of the combined $1,000,000 Advance to Affiliate credit facilities, $250,000 of available line of credit facilities with our banks,the Trust believes that we will have enough cash on hand to meet all of its financial obligations as they become due for at least the next year. In addition, management of the Trust is analyzing other strategic options available to it, including the refinancing of the Tucson property or raising additional funds through additional non-controlling interest sales; however, such transactions may not be available on terms that are favorable to the Trust, or at all. There can be no assurance that the Trust will be successful in obtaining extensions, refinancing debt or raising additional or replacement funds, or that these funds may be available on terms that are favorable to it. If the Trust is unable to raise additional or replacement funds, it may be required to sell certain of our assets to meet liquidity needs, which may not be on terms that are favorable. SEASONALITY OF THE HOTEL BUSINESS The Hotels’ operations historically have been somewhat seasonal. The Tucson Hotel experience its highest occupancy in the first fiscal quarter and, to a lesser extent, the fourth fiscal quarter. The second fiscal quarter tends to be the lowest occupancy period at the Tucson Hotel. This seasonality pattern can be expected to cause fluctuations in the Trust’s quarterly revenues. The hotel located in New Mexico historically experience their most profitable periods during the second and third fiscal quarters (the summer season), providing some balance to the general seasonality of the Trust’s hotel business. The seasonal nature of the Trust’s business increases its vulnerability to risks such as labor force shortages and cash flow issues. Further, if an adverse event such as an actual or threatened terrorist attack, international conflict, data breach, regional economic downturn or poor weather conditions should occur during the first or fourth fiscal quarters, the adverse impact to the Trust’s revenues could likely be greater as a result of its southern Arizona seasonal business. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes existing guidance on accounting for leases in Leases (Topic 840) and generally requires all leases, including operating leases, to be recognized in the statement of financial position as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities by lessees. The provisions of ASU 2016-02 are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach and are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10 “Codification Improvements of Topic 842, Leases” and ASU No. 2018-11,“Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements.” ASU 2018-11 provides companies another transition method in addition to the existing transition method by allowing entities to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The consideration in the contract is allocated to the lease and nonlease components on a relative standalone price basis (for lessees) or in accordance with the allocation guidance in the new revenue standard (for lessors). ASU 2018-11 also provides lessees with a practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component. If a lessee makes that accounting policy election, it is required to account for the nonlease components together with the associated lease component as a single lease component and to provide certain disclosures. Lessors are not afforded a similar practical expedient. The Trust implemented ASU 2016-02 during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020 and is reflected in our financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The update simplifies how the entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount. This update is effective for annual or interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Trust currently has no intangible assets. In June 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The amendments in this ASU became effective for us beginning February 1, 2019. Adoption by the Trust did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. On Dec. 18, 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2019-12, which affects general principles within Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments of ASU 2019-12 are meant to simplify and reduce the cost of accounting for income taxes. The FASB has stated that the ASU is being issued as part of its Simplification Initiative, which is meant to reduce complexity in accounting standards by improving certain areas of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) without compromising information provided to users of financial statements. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years (and interim periods within those fiscal years) beginning after Dec. 15, 2020. The Trust is evaluating the impact of ASU-2019-12, but currently believes it will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
