I don't know. I haven't raised rates. I think people are sick of sitting home or maybe the economy is improving. Wouldn't that be great!

We believe now is the time to be aggressive with rates!

As a Small motel near Yellowtone Park our rates let us stay as one of the best deals in the area.

Grow a set people. Our market is running 80%+ the last 2 months, and it will continue for the next 2. It's time to shed the bottom feeders.

It depends on the market

Occp is up but consumer confidence is waining due to lack of leadership in Wash, wait and see is the mantra of the day.

doing ok now, but concerned about RFP season

afraid of the hotel down the road!!

Rates increased when you exceed market share.

things are improving well enough, why rock the boat.

due to more hotels on the market verry exspansive Airfares and weak world wide crisis

We are an independent hotel in Branson, MO and the economy has hit us hard. Our guest 'squeak' when they walk in the door! They are looking for the best deal and will go up and down the road checking prices. We desperately need to increase our prices to cover the cost of all amenities customers are demanding now. This is a different market than the large upper scale hotels that are in the locale of large conventions etc and can set their price. There are also pricing wars on marquees that are happening that drive the price down.

Economy

We are raising rates to keep up with our comp set hotels that are. We need to get our ADR up because we are an extended stay hotel.

Supply & demand allow it

we raise our $10this year and all went well

do not want to push away potential business
