HENDERSONVILLE, Tennessee—The U.S. hotel industry reported mixed results in the three key performance metrics during the week of 30 October through 5 November 2016, according to data from STR.
In year-over-year comparisons, the industry’s occupancy fell 3.5% to 64.0%. Average daily rate (ADR) increased 1.6% to US$123.17. Revenue per available room (RevPAR) decreased 1.9% to US$78.82.
Opposite from last week, STR analysts cite a negative effect on results due to a Halloween calendar shift. The holiday was not included in the comparable week from 2015.
