As anticipated ahead of Halloween, U.S. hotel performance fell week over week, according to STR's latest data. For the week of Oct. 24-30, occupancy reached 58.9 percent, down 5.7 percent from the comparable week in 2019. Average daily rate reached $127.70, up 1.5 percent from 2019, and revenue per available room reached $75.28, down 4.3 percent from 2019.
Even with a drop in performance levels from previous weeks, comparisons with the matching week in 2019 improved because Halloween that year fell on a Thursday and created a more significant disruption in business travel and groups.
