HENDERSONVILLE, Tennessee—U.S. weekly hotel occupancy was the lowest for any week since late June, according to the latest data from STR through 31 October.

- Occupancy: 44.4% (-29.0%)
- Average daily rate (ADR): US$91.56 (-27.4%)
- Revenue per available room (RevPAR): US$40.70 (-48.4%)
With rising COVID-19 case numbers and less leisure travel, the U.S. saw a second consecutive week with fewer hotel guests. During October 25-31, room demand fell 1.3 million from the prior week, leading to the country’s lowest occupancy level (44.4%) since the week of June 14-20. str.com
