Consistent with the increase in hotel operating revenues, hotel operating expenses increased primarily due to the acquisitions consummated since June 30, 2011, as mentioned above.

Similarly, real estate and personal property tax and property insurance increased $308, or 6.3%, in the three months ended June 30, 2012 when compared to the same period in 2011 due to our acquisitions, which was partially offset by reductions resulting from our rigorous management of this expense along with a general overall increase in tax assessments and tax rates as the economy improves.
On February 23, 2012, we closed on the sale of 14 of our previously mentioned non-core hotel properties, and on May 8, 2012, we closed on the sale of the remaining 4 non-core hotel properties.
