Reno Room Occupancy Slips

RENO -- Room occupancy for hotels and motels in the Reno area slipped slightly in September, partly because of a quirk of the calendar.

Occupancy was 74.4 percent, off 1.8 percent from September 2002.

The average room rate was $63.60, off 76 cents or 1.2 percent from the previous September.

Reno Hilton spokesman Steve Trounday said most of Labor Day weekend fell in August, and it's traditionally a weekend that brings higher occupancy and higher rates.

The Hilton bucked the trend, with higher rates and greater occupancy than a year earlier.
