In year-over-year comparisons, occupancy increased 7.5 percent to 57.4 percent, average daily rate was up 2.1 percent to US$94.37, and revenue per available room rose 9.7 percent to US$54.16.
This was the 13th consecutive week the U.S. reported overall ADR increases. Before this trend emerged, ADR in decreased 74 of the past 76 weeks.
"Thirteen consecutive weeks of ADR improvement show that the industry now trusts the positive demand trends that emerged earlier in the year," said Chad Church, director of special services at STR. " Hoteliers have raised their rates, and the consumer continues to travel.
"We're currently in the midst of the easiest year-over-year comparison weeks for ADR in 2010," Church continued. "After experiencing double-digit ADR declines throughout September 2009, we expect to continue to see positive gains in the near term."
