So let me start by asking you, uh, to just give us a general overview of what you're seeing in the hospitality industry today from a top line and a bottom-line perspective.
1:45
Top line is, is, is doing fairly well.
1:49
Uh, we, we all are aware that, uh, um, revpar is, is growing, but very, very modestly, and for the most part, that's attributable to the average rate side of the equation.
2:04
So generally speaking, gross revenues are pretty steady Eddie and doing well.
2:11
Where a lot of owners and operators are having challenges in certain assets and certain markets is bringing it down to the bottom line.
2:21
And we've all heard a lot about labor, the cost of labor, uh, in union markets, uh, uh, work rules.
2:29
The lack of labor is putting tremendous pressure on, uh, those costs within the lodging industry.
