          Apple REIT Eight, Inc. (which is referred to below as the “Company”) is filing this report in accordance with Item 8.01 of Form 8-K.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

          On October 19, 2011, the Company, through four of its wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into four secured loan agreements (the “Loan Agreements”) with Cantor Commercial Real Estate Lending, L.P. Each loan is secured by one of the Company’s hotels. The hotels securing the Loan Agreements are: the two Courtyard® by Marriott® hotels in Virginia Beach, Virginia, the Courtyard® by Marriott® hotel in Charlottesville, Virginia and the Courtyard® by Marriott® hotel in Carolina Beach, North Carolina. Interest will be payable monthly on the outstanding balance of each loan at an annual rate 6.015%. The Loan Agreements mature in October 2016 and will amortize based on a 25 year term with a balloon payment due at maturity.

          At closing the Company used the total proceeds of the loans ($60 million) to extinguish its $25 million term loan with Branch Banking and Trust Company, to reduce the outstanding balance on its $75 million line of credit and to pay transaction costs.

          The Loan Agreements contain representations, financial and other affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and remedies typical for these types of Loan Agreements.

          The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete statement of the terms and conditions under the Loan Agreements.
