2021 Washington County Hotel Performance

Washington County’s hotel industry grew throughout 2021 with the addition of new hotels and an upswing in hotel occupancy levels.

Hotel Performance Shows Measured Improvement

Washington County’s hotels continue to show improvement from the unprecedented lows of calendar year 2020, according to STR. While room occupancy, average daily room rates and revenue per available room have increased, hotel performance still hasn’t caught up to pre-pandemic volumes.

Particular improvement has been shown on weekend performance, while mid-week performance reflects the continued stall of business travel.

Washington County Hotel performance is tracking slightly ahead of similar measures in the United States and for overall Oregon hotel performance.
