This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D amends the Schedule 13D initially filed on April 28, 2011 (together with all prior and current amendments thereto, this “ Schedule 13D ”).

Preliminary Note : The Reporting Persons (as defined below) are filing this Schedule 13D with respect to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “ Shares ”), of MHI Hospitality Corporation (the “ Company ”). As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons own, in aggregate, (i) warrants to purchase 152,000 Shares (the “ Warrants ”), which Warrants are currently exercisable, and (ii) 1,126.852 shares of Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “ Preferred Stock ”), of the Company.

The Reporting Persons are filing this Schedule 13D to report their respective beneficial ownership of Shares through the ownership of Warrants. All numbers and percentages contained in this Schedule 13D represent beneficial ownership of Shares (through the Warrants owned by the Reporting Persons as of the date hereof), unless stated otherwise. All percentages were calculated based on the 9,999,786 Shares outstanding as of May 2, 2012 (as reported by the Company in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) on May 2, 2012), plus the additional Shares that would be issued if the applicable Reporting Person exercised all of the Warrants it owns as of the date hereof. The percentages do not assume the exercise of Warrants held by any other persons.

Item 4 . Purpose Of The Transaction

Item 4 is supplemented to report the following:

Pursuant to Warrant Amendment No. 2, the Fund and Essex Illiquid, LLC agreed to cast votes or give consents with respect to any Shares held by them, excluding Issued Warrant Shares (as defined in the Warrant Agreement), in the same proportions as the votes cast or consents given (excluding abstentions) by all Shares, other than (i) Shares held by the Fund and Essex Illiquid, LLC, or their affiliates, and (ii) Shares which are not eligible to vote or give consents.

This summary of Warrant Amendment No. 2 is qualified in its entirety by the full terms and conditions of Warrant Amendment No. 2, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4.4 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 13, 2012, and which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
