That led to a decline of 4.2 percent in total occupancy rates from 88.5 percent last year to 84.3 percent this year. The av- erage daily room rate also fell 90 cents or 1.5 percent to $60.98. Revenue per avail- able room (RevPAR) also dropped 6.1 percent to $51.41. Last April the RevPAR came in at $54.76.
