Supertel Hospitality, Inc. Announces Sale of Two Economy Hotels
NORFOLK, NE, Feb 14, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Supertel Hospitality, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPPR), a real estate investment
trust (REIT), today announced that it sold the 63-room Guesthouse Inn
in Ellenton, Florida for $1.26 million, and the 120-room Days Inn
North in Fredericksburg, Virginia for $2.05 million. Supertel
purchased the Ellenton Guesthouse property in June 1998 as part of a
three hotel portfolio. The Fredericksburg (North) Days Inn was
purchased in July 2007. The hotels were no longer classified as core
assets primarily due to age and chain scale classification. The
company will use the proceeds to reduce corporate debt and for
general corporate purposes.
The sale of the hotels demonstrates the company's continued
commitment to the business plan which calls for the divesture of
non-core properties to provide funding for the acquisition of
premium-branded, select-service hotels.
