About this episode

The episode discusses the declining hotel performance in July and highlights regional bright spots while preparing for upcoming shifts in September and October.

July hotel performance in the U.S. continued a downward trajectory, but hosts Isaac Collazo from STR and Jan Freitag from CoStar Group talked about some regional bright spots -- namely Canada and a handful of U.S. markets.
