'Ceased Operations - Other Reasons' typically refers to closures that are not due to termination, non-renewal, or reacquisition by the franchisor.

While the number is relatively small, it underscores the need for careful planning, diligent management, and a strong understanding of the local market conditions to ensure the long-term success of an Embassy Suites franchise.
