Robust performance at our Sunnyvale and San Diego assetswas offset by supply growth in Seattle and Los Angeles alongwith severe weather impacting demand along the coast

Lodging fundamentals on the West Coast are expected toremain compelling in 2019, driven by strong demand fromdomestic and international leisure travelers and growth intechnology and life sciences companies in the regions

Our Sunnyvale hotels reported weighted average RevPARgrowth of 7.4% as they captured increased demand fromlarge corporate accounts such as Amazon, Google and Apple.Large Google and Apple events in Q2 will help to continue todrive growth at these properties

In Q1 2019, our comparable South Florida portfoliofaced a difficult Hurricane Irma-relief comp, but wasable to generate positive RevPAR growth

The reacceleration of Miami remains intact, but near-term growth will continue to face headwinds from there-opening of hurricane-damaged hotels in PuertoRico and the Caribbean along with the ramp up of theMiami Beach Convention Center

Our Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club and Parrot Key Hotel& Villas are currently ramping with Q1 2019 ADRperformance comparable to prior peak periods for themarket

Despite revenues tracking towards prior peak,operating margins are in ramp-up mode and weremain confident in our ability to progressively closethis gap as we track towards stabilization

Despite continued market headwinds in the first quarter,our comparable portfolio generated slightly positiveRevPAR growth and outperformed the market by 330 basispoints

Our growth was driven by performance at our St. Gregoryin Dupont Circle, which is ramping following its holisticrenovation in 2018

The second quarter will remain soft for the market withthe Easter shift to April resulting in Congress out of sessionwhile the city has just 1 major convention versus 3 lastyear and new supply continues to enter the market

HT Manhattan Supply Forecast Accuracy

| Page 25

HT’s estimate of 3.0% supply growth in Manhattan for 2018 was just 10 basis points higherthan the actual growth whereas the consultant forecasts missed the mark by 530 basispoints and 290 basis points, respectively

Over the past 5 years, HT’s forecasts have been markedly more accurate in comparison toother industry forecasts when forecasting supply growth in Manhattan

Consultant’s forecasts tend to be higher than the supply actually delivered as supply tendsto decrease due to delays and natural attrition that push projects into subsequent years

Airbnb: Shadow Supply Decelerating

| Page 27

Over the past two years, Airbnb has evolved from a significant disruptor to Lodging to a diminishing threatwith the rate of growth decelerating

Growth in Airbnb units has declined across the U.S. as a result of legislations in major cities leveling theplaying field versus its hotel competition

Each of our core markets have enacted legislation to heavily tax or eliminate illegal listings on home-sharing sites with a focus on eliminating commercial landlords. These legislations have resulted in adecrease in listings

Regulations passed in New York City and Boston are currently being contested in court after Airbnb filed a lawsuitclaiming the bills are unconstitutional

Home & Villas by Marriott’s bespoke offering is geared towards the higher-end leisure traveler with longerstay requirements in markets where Marriott has less of a footprint. The program’s target locations are inunique, high-end destinations and not urban centers where are our portfolio is primarily focused

Home & Villas is kicking off with 2,000 homes internationally which compares to more than 7,000 hotels and over1.3 million rooms in the current Marriott system(1)
