DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

     Lodgian, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby amends its Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-124456) initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2005 (the “Registration Statement”) registering 2,948,222 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) for the Company’s Amended and Restated 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, by deregistering all of the Common Stock registered on the Registration Statement that has not been sold or otherwise remains unissued.

     On January 22, 2010, the Company, LSREF Lodging Investments, LLC, (“Purchaser”), and LSREF Lodging Merger Co., Inc., an affiliate of Purchaser (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which on April 19, 2010 Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving corporation and continuing its separate existence under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on April 19, 2010, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Company, other than any shares owned by the Company, Purchaser or Merger Sub and other than shares owned by stockholders properly demanding appraisal rights, were cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive $2.50 in cash, without interest. Therefore, the Company has ceased to be a publicly traded company, and in connection with the Merger, the Company is terminating all of its offerings of securities pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement.

     In accordance with the undertaking contained in Part II, Item 9(a)(3) of the Registration Statement pursuant to Item 512(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Company files this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to terminate the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and to remove from registration all of the Common Stock which remains unissued under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof, if any.
