Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We are involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including, but not limited to, disputes involving hotel-level contracts, employment litigation, compliance with laws, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, tax disputes and other general matters. We or our operators are defending these claims vigorously; however, no assurances can be given as to the outcome of any pending legal proceedings. We believe, based on currently available information, that the results of such proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, but might be material to our operating results for any period, depending, in part, upon the operating results for such period. We record a liability when a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. For more information, see Note 17 in Item 8. – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data .
