There are some annual numbers available, but I don't think you'll find
quarterly numbers other than in some high-priced market reports:


Hotel Occupancy levels in the US:

63 percent in 2005

61 percent in 2004

projected to grow to 64 percent in 2006. 


Are these figures of use to you?

Unfortunately, I need the breakdown by quarter.
