Our extended stay portfolio experienced a 4.6% decline in REF PAR year-over-year. Consistent with a trend from previous quarters, our longer-term extended stay occupancy, stays of seven-plus nights, has been declining due to the loss of non-repeat project-based room nights. While synesthesis actually pivoted to shorter-term stays of these hotels to fill occupancy, the increased room nights were not enough to offset the reduced rates.

As we have discussed previously, we continually evaluate opportunities to optimize our portfolio, specifically trimming our lodging portfolio of lower-performing hotels that have been a headwind to overall EBITDA. After careful analysis, we have begun to market 22 Senesta hotels totaling 2,832 keys for disposition, including nine Senesta ES Suites, five Simply Suites, seven Senesta Selects, and one full-service Senesta Hotel. These hotels have a net book value of $162 million and an aggregate reported negative EBITDA of $4.7 million during 2023. In addition, each of these hotels were slated for renovation in future years, which should reduce our overall capex spend. We expect that aggregate REVPAR and hotel EBITDA margins for the remaining hotel portfolio will improve with the removal of this subset of hotels.

Sure. It's mostly related to leisure travel, but we're also seeing a slowdown in business travel. Business travel still is probably - in our portfolio at least, around 70 to 80% of where it was in 2019. And in previous quarters, we had continued to see that tick up, and that's really slowed down and flattened out.

But we looked very hard at 10 to 15 hotels in different areas of Miami, most in South Beach, but also Brickell and Coral Gables and Coconut Grove. It's challenging to find an opportunity that kind of works for SVC, given our cost of capital and given our yield hurdles.

You know, I think it's a combination. I think it's a lot of the reasons that you pointed out. You know, it is the revenge travel component, you know, that we saw in 2021 and 2022. I think just right now people have less money to spend on discretionary travel. You know, interest rates are up. You know, people are spending more on car payments and other things.
