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, 2021, InnSuites Hospitality Trust (the “Trust”, “IHT”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a publicly traded unincorporated Ohio real estate investment trust (REIT) with two hotels IHT owns and manages. The Trust and its shareholders directly in and through a Partnership, own interests in two hotels with an aggregate of 270 hotel suites in Arizona and New Mexico, both (the “Hotels”) operated under the federally trademarked name “InnSuites Hotels” or “InnSuites” as well as operating under the brand name “Best Western”. The Trust and its shareholders hold a $1 million 6% convertible note in UniGen Power Inc., (“UPI”), $60,000 in UPI private company stock, and hold warrants to make further UPI stock purchases in the future. 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. The Trust considers its Tucson, Arizona hotel and our hotel located in a subsidiary of Albuquerque, New Mexico to be moderate or limited service hotels. IHT provides management services and marketing. Our Tucson, Arizona Hotel and our Hotel located in Albuquerque, New Mexico are moderate limited service hotels. Both hotels offer swimming pools, fitness centers, business centers, and complimentary breakfast and high speed internet. In addition, the Hotels offer social areas and modest conference facilities. The Trust is the sole general partner of RRF Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and owned a 75.89% in the Partnership as of January 31, 2021 and January 31, 2020, respectively. The Trust’s weighted average ownership for the Fiscal Years ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, was 75.89%. As of January 31, 2021, the Partnership owned a 51.01% interest in an InnSuites® hotel located in Tucson, Arizona. The Trust owns a direct 20.67% interest in an InnSuites® hotel located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. InnSuites Hotels Inc.(“IHI”), a subsidiary, manages the Hotels’ daily operations under 2 management agreements. The Trust also provides the use of the “InnSuites” trademark to the Hotels through wholly-owned IHI. All expenses and reimbursements between the Trust, IHI and the Partnership have been eliminated in consolidation. The Trust classified the Hotels as operating assets, but these assets are available for sale. At this time, the Trust is unable to predict when, and if, any of these will be sold. Neither the Tucson Hotel nor the Albuquerque Hotel is currently listed but the Trust is willing to consider offers for the Hotel. Each of the Hotels is being marketed at a price that management believes is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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.

The Trust has evaluated subsequent events through the date of the filing of its Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Other than those events disclosed, the Trust is not aware of any other significant events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to the filing of this report that would have a material impact on the Trust’s financial statements. As the general partner of the Partnership, the Trust exercises unilateral control over the Partnership. The Trust owns all the issued and outstanding classes of shares of InnSuites Hotels Inc. Therefore, the financial statements of the Partnership and InnSuites Hotels Inc. are consolidated with the Trust, and all significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810-10-25, Albuquerque Suite Hospitality, LLC has been determined to be a variable interest entity with the Trust as the primary beneficiary (see Note 5 – “Variable Interest Entity”). Therefore, the financial statements of Albuquerque Suite Hospitality, LLC, are consolidated with the Trust, and all significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The financial statements of the Partnership and Tucson Hospitality Properties, LLLP are consolidated with the Partnership and 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 limited partner holding the units. 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 January 31, 2021 and 2020, 211,708 Class A Partnership units were outstanding, representing 1.60% of the total Partnership units, respectively. Additionally, as of January 31, 2021 and 2020, 2,974,038 Class B Partnership units were outstanding to and owned by James Wirth, the Trust’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Wirth’s affiliates, representing 22.51% ownership in the Partnership. If all the Class A and B Partnership units were converted on January 31, 2021 and 2020, the limited partners in the Partnership would receive 3,185,746 Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust. As of January 31, 2021, and 2020, 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 quarterly distributions coming from the Tucson Hotel as well as cash flow; quarterly distributions and cash flow from the Albuquerque, New Mexico property, management fees charged to Trust, repayments of intercompany loans for the Tucson and Albuquerque Hotels and more recently, sales and/or refinance of certain hotels. 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 well as to generate funds from repayment of loans and sale of assets. The Covid-19 Virus (the “Virus”) has disrupted the quarterly distributions from both the Albuquerque and Tucson hotels. Another source of cash is derived from the management fees of the Albuquerque, Tucson, and Tempe Hotels, although the Tempe Hotel was sold in December 2020. At a future date, the Trust may receive cash from the operations and/or full or partial sale of its Unigen diversification investment. As of January 31, 2021, the Trust had a related party Demand/Revolving Line of Credit/Promissory Note with an amount payable of approximately $1,595,000. 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 $2,000,000, which is available through December 31, 2021, and renews annually. This is a two-way Line of Credit, with both the Trust and an Affiliate lender having access to draw on the credit amount of up to $2,000,000 for either party. As of January 31, 2021, the Trust had an amount receivable of the Advances to Affiliate credit facility of approximately $0. As of January 31, 2021, the Trust had three Revolving lines of Credit of $250,000 with the Republic Bank of Arizona. The lines had a zero balance as of January 31, 2021. The Trust plans within the next year or sooner to prepare to be in a position to seek refinancing the Tucson Hotel property, which would facilitate repayment of up to $3,754,000 of the Tucson Hotel loan and with favorable interest rates. We anticipate this refinance may be completed in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022. With approximately $1,703,000 of cash as of January 31, 2021, the availability of the combined $2,000,000 Advance to Affiliate credit facilities, and the $250,000 Revolving Line of Credit with Republic Bank, the Trust believes that it has and will have enough cash on hand to meet all of the financial obligations as they become due for twelve months from the date of filing this 10-K. In addition, management is analyzing other strategic options available to the Trust, including the sale or refinance of one or both Hotel properties. 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 selling properties, 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 Arizona Hotel experiences the highest occupancy in the first fiscal quarter (the winter high season) and, to a lesser extent, the fourth fiscal quarter. The second fiscal quarter tends to be the lowest occupancy period at this Arizona Hotel. This seasonality pattern can be expected to cause fluctuations in the Trust’s quarterly revenues. The Hotel located in Albuquerque, New Mexico historically experience its most profitable periods during the second and third fiscal quarters (the summer high 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 travel disruptions, labor force shortages and cash flow issues. Further, if an adverse event such as an actual or threatened virus pandemic, terrorist attack, international conflict, data breach, regional economic downturn or poor weather should occur at either of its two hotels, the adverse impact to the Trust’s revenues and profit could be significant. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2019-12 Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). The amendments in the update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing the following exceptions:
| 1. | Exception to the incremental approach for intra-period tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items (for example, discontinued operations or other comprehensive income).
| 2. | Exception to the requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for equity method investments when a foreign subsidiary becomes and equity method investment,
| 3. | Exception to the ability not to recognize a deferred tax liability for foreign subsidiary when a foreign equity method investment becomes a subsidiary.
| 4. | Exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year.
The amendments in the update also simplify the accounting for income tases by doing the following:
| 1. | Requiring that an entity recognize a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income-based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as non-income-based tax.
| 2. | Requiring that an entity evaluate when a step up in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered part of the business combination in which the book goodwill was originally recognized and when it should be considered a separate transaction.
| 3. | Specifying that an entity is not required to allocate the consolidated amount of current and deferred tax expense to a legal entity that is not subject to tax in its separate financial statements. However, an entity may elect to do (on entity-by-entity basis) for a legal entity that is both not subject to tax and disregarded by the taxing authority.
| 4. | Requiring that an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effect tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date.
| 5. | Making minor Codification improvements for income taxes relating to employee stock ownership plans and investments in qualified affordable housing projects accounted for by using the equity method.
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.
