Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

During the Lodgian, Inc. earnings call for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, which is scheduled to take place at 11:00 a.m. on August 4, 2005, W. Thomas Parrington, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, is expected to discuss certain financial information regarding a subset of the Company’s hotel portfolio. The subset is compromised of 59 hotels. These 59 hotels are the hotels classified by the Company as Continuing Operations hotels, which exclude the hotels held for sale. This subset also excludes the two Florida hotels that are closed due to hurricane damage, two Kansas hotels that will be sold or surrendered to the lender and 12 hotels that are currently under renovation or have had a franchise change in 2005.

These 59 hotels performed as follows during the second quarter 2005:

RevPar was up 10.1%.

Total revenues were up 9.5%.

Gross contribution was up 8.1% but our margin was down 81 basis points.

Net Operating Income generated by these hotels was up 5.7% but our margin was down 94 basis points.

Our food and beverage margin dropped on lower restaurant sales, increased workers’ compensation costs, increased group medical expenses and higher operating expenses.

Our rooms margin dropped 50 basis points due to increased brands standards, workers’ compensation costs and group medical expenses.

Repairs and maintenance, utilities, real estate taxes, and insurance were all in line with last year as a percent of revenues.

Franchise related expenses, which are driven by room revenues, were up 16 basis points primarily due to room revenues being a greater percentage of total revenues.

Advertising and promotion expenses were up 13 basis points as part of our plan to drive additional revenues.
