Explanation:

The Hotel's liabilities are the financial obligations that Luxury Suites Hostels owes the debt providers for funding its assets.  They are divided into two: current and non-current or long-term liabilities.  The obligations that are expected to be settled within the next one year are classified as current.  The other obligations which are not expected to be settled within one year are called noncurrent or long-term liabilities.  Liabilities are forms of leverage or gearing that a company employs to help her in generating profits for equity stockholders.
