Trump's hotel had an average monthly occupancy rate of about 50% through November 2017, according to data provided to CNN covering the first 11 months of 2017. Despite the low occupancy, the Trump hotel charged nightly room rates that were 40% higher on average than those same nearly two dozen hotels. STR declined to confirm or comment on the specific numbers for the Trump hotel in DC, citing the firm's confidentiality policy. "All STR hotel property-level reports are confidential and contain proprietary information," an STR spokesman said. A Trump business rents the building that houses the Trump hotel from the General Services Administration.
