The July report from PKF Consulting makes for good reading. More importantly, operators continued topushup the average daily room rate, which increased 6.9% to $118.44. Therewere 6 sub-markets in the County with occupancy rates above 80% in July:Marina del Rey (89.3%), Santa Monica (87.9%), South Bay (87.8%), LAX(86.5%), Hollywood (84.0%), and the San Fernando Valley (81.6%). AndValencia came in at an amazing 92.7%. Business was also good in Orange County during July, asconstructionwinds down in and around Anaheim (finally!). The occupancy rate was80.9%,compared with 77.2% last year. And the average daily room rate was up6.9%to $111.25. Out of five sub-markets in the County, only one was belowthe80% level, and that was Orange County Airport at 79.2%. PKF's next report (August) will give us an idea of what theDemocratic National Convention meant to the Los Angeles hotelindustry. And don't forget. Disneyland II is coming.
