Johnstown Comfort Suites files for bankruptcy after foreclosure notice

JOHNSTOWN — The Comfort Inn and Suites in Johnstown has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, a month after its creditors issued a $6.4 million foreclosure demand.

The hotel, a subsidiary of Fort Collins-based hotel developer and operator Spirit Hospitality LLC, declared assets of $14.17 million and liabilities of $10.27 million, according to documents filed to the Bankruptcy Court of Colorado.

Spirit claims the hotel had gross revenues of just less than $1.2 million so far in 2020, compared to just more than $2.76 million in 2018 and 2019 each.

Rocky Mountain Health Plans (RMHP), part of the UnitedHealthcare family, has pledged its commitment to uplift these communities through substantial investments in organizations addressing the distinct needs of our communities.

Businesses in Chapter 11 bankruptcy are attempting to reorganize debts while continuing to operate, with the goal of emerging as a healthier company. That’s in contrast to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, where the business is liquidated and the proceeds are split between creditors.

The hotel was given a foreclosure notice from its creditor FirstBank exactly a month ago for being behind on a $6.72 million loan with 5.1% interest in 2016. Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC) is listed as a second mortgage holder within the bankruptcy filing, valued at $3.46 million.

Spirit Hospitality itself made multiple unsecured claims worth just more than $325,000, claiming the hotel owes it back pay on a loan, liability insurance and management fees.

The documents show Spirit values the hotel at $13 million based on its own appraisal.

Spirit representatives did not respond to a request for comment Thursday morning.
