June 7-13, 2020 vs. June 9-15, 2019
Occupancy: -43.4% to 41.7%
ADR: -33.9% to $89.09
RevPAR: -62.6% to $37.15
Previous weekly nationwide occupancy levels were: 39.3 percent (May 31-June 6), 36.4 percent (May 24-30), 35.3 percent (May 17-23), 32.3 percent (May 10-16), 30.3 percent (May 3-9), 28.8 percent (April 26-May 2), 26.2 percent (April 19-25), 24.4 percent (April 12-18), and 22 percent (April 5-11).
“Powered by the slow and steady rise in weekly demand, the industry clawed its way above 40 percent occupancy,” said Alison Hoyt, STR’s senior director of consulting and analytics. “That was still down substantially from the comparable week last year (73.6 percent) but an obvious improvement from the country’s low point in mid-April. As we have noted, the drive-to destinations with access to beaches, mountains, and parks continue to lead the early leisure recovery. With more consistent demand, we’re beginning to see more pricing confidence in those areas as well.”
