According to data released by Smith Travel Research, Alliance Hospitality’s revenue per available room increased 5.8% percent compared to last year, soundly surpassing the Competitive Set as a portfolio for Quarter 1 2013. Year to Date through April the growth continues with Alliance Hospitality revenue per available room increasing 8.9% over last year and 6.7% over the Competitive Set as a portfolio.
