Hotel Performance December 20-26

COVID-19 has directly affected the hotel industry throughout the United States, and Washington County is no exception. This time of year traditionally is a “soft” period for area hotels. However, we are still seeing decreases directly tied to the decrease in business and leisure travel due to COVID-19 and related travel restrictions and recommendations.

For the week of December 20-26, Washington County’s hotel occupancy averaged 35%, a 26.6% decrease from the same period last year. The average daily room rate (ADR) during the same period was $80.51, an 11.5% decrease from the same period in 2019.

The following graphs illustrate the weekly occupancy and ADR trends from October 10-December 26.
