The master servicer is Wells Fargo & Co. and the sponsor is PIA Investments Ltd., the investment arm of Pakistan International Airlines, Bloomberg data show. The loan matures on Nov. 9 and was added to the watch list on Sept. 9, according to Morningstar Inc. (MORN)’s Structured Credit Ratings business.

Revenue from the hotel’s 1,015 rooms dropped to $57.7 million in 2009 from $81 million the previous year because of the slowdown in the economy and a decline in business travel demand, Morningstar said in an e-mailed note. Net cash flow decreased to $7.8 million in 2009 and 2010 from $30.1 million in 2008, according to Chicago-based Morningstar.

“We are concerned by the dramatic drop in reported net cash flow,” Morningstar said in the note.
