In order for these full service properties to compete in markets with significant downward pressure on occupancy, rates were lowered in the fourth quarter. Declines in RevPAR were experienced at six of the nine comparable full service properties. There was a significant decrease in RevPAR for the company's comparable select service hotels of 8.0%, to $36.87 for the three months ended December 31, 2012 from $40.09 for the same period in 2011. Occupancy declined from 49.9% to 45.2%, with its impact being tempered by an improvement in ADR from $80.37 to $81.53. Several hotels experienced significant declines due to local market and demand conditions and the hotels with positive performance did not achieve results significant enough to offset the declines. For the year, the company's comparable full service hotels maintained the level of RevPAR achieved in 2011 increasing by only 0.1%, to $62.56 for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $62.50 for the same period in 2011. This consistency in RevPAR was due to an increase in occupancy from 60.1% for the year ended December 31, 2011 to 61.4% in 2012, a relative increase of 2.2%, tempered by a decline in ADR from $103.99 to $101.95 or 2.0%. The improvement in RevPAR that was achieved at the company's comparable full service properties was across five of the nine hotels. There was a decrease in RevPAR for the company's comparable select service hotels of 3.7%, to $41.25 for the year nded December 31, 2012 from $42.82 in 2011.
