Exhibit 99.1

DEAR SHAREHOLDER, Greetings from Apple REIT Eight, Inc. The first quarter of this year was marked by solid improvements in operations across our portfolio of 51 hotels. Demand for lodging continues to strengthen, evident in our higher occupancy levels and nightly rates as compared to the same period of 2011, and I am optimistic this momentum will continue throughout 2012.



For the first quarter of 2012, our hotels achieved an average occupancy rate of 69 percent, an average daily rate (ADR) of $107 and revenue per available room (RevPAR) of $74. As compared to results from the same period of 2011, occupancy was up approximately five percent, ADR was up approximately one percent and RevPAR was up by six percent. The summer travel season is upon us and we anticipate it will provide additional opportunities for revenue growth. As various events, from college graduations and sporting events to area festivals and celebrations, occur within our markets, our team will continue to strive towards an optimal balance of occupancy and ADR to maximize RevPAR.

The Company achieved funds from operations (FFO) during the first quarter of 2012 that totaled approximately $6.8 million, or $0.07 per share. FFO for the same period last year totaled $6.7 million, or $0.07 per share. Over the first three months of the year, the Company paid distributions of $0.14 per share. The current annualized distribution rate for the Company is $0.55 per share. Our annualized distribution rate is closely monitored, taking into account varying economic cycles and capital improvements as well as current and projected hotel performance, and although we strive for consistency over the life of our program, we may make adjustments as needed, based on available

cash resources. For reference, a shareholder who has been an investor in Apple REIT Eight since the time of the Company’s first distribution payment has received distributions of approximately $3.70 per share, through April 30, 2012.

As always, we encourage our shareholders to know their investment and stay informed by reviewing information on our website at www.applereiteight.com, as well as our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which can be found on their web site at www.sec.gov.

The conservative strategy of Apple REIT Eight is evident in the strength of our balance sheet and our portfolio of attractive Marriott®- and Hilton®-branded hotels. Our team is committed to maximizing shareholder value and confident our steady approach to hotel ownership and capital management will enable us to meet our goals over the long term. I am confident 2012 will be a good year for the Company. As always, thank you for your investment in Apple REIT Eight.

 

Sincerely,

 

-s- Glade M. Knight

 

Glade M. Knight,

 

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

(A) Funds from operations (FFO) is defined as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles – GAAP) excluding gains and losses from sales of depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization. The company considers FFO in evaluating property acquisitions and its operating performance and believes that FFO should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income and cash flows as a measure of the company’s activities in accordance with GAAP. FFO is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.

The financial information furnished reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position at March 31, 2012 and the results of operations for the interim period ended March 31, 2012. Such interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the full year. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes appearing in the Apple REIT Eight, Inc. 2011 Annual Report.
