Methodology

Each market's figure is the median of advertised prices we observed (at least 6 per market), from public sources. Quartiles show the middle half. Dates are when we observed the price.

Sources by category

Public lodging advertised rate observations

Coverage and freshness

172 market summaries shown. Dates are source observations, not live quotes. We track 207 markets; 176 had a current input on 2026-10-30. Markets not shown lack a current sample that clears the rules. Data as of 2026-10-30; not a live feed.

Limitations

Prices are per night for a Friday check-in, two-night stay, before taxes and fees, and depend on the stay dates sampled. The sample includes properties collected from booking-site search results for the town, hotels as well as motels. These screens measure asking prices, not realized revenue, asset value or profit. Samples, not a census or a recommendation; markets or rows we don't show may still have activity. No individual listings, transactions or personal details are published.
