Advito principal and VP Bob Brindley attributed the California changes to market rationalization. "There's some additional capacity. You had, I think, a little bit of an Airbnb impact because prices were getting very, very high. The demand was still there," Brindley said of the hotel market in California in 2016, "but the market was just a little bit less crazy than it was the year before."
The effect of Airbnb is but one of the factors that make 2017 a difficult year to assess for hotel costs. Add to it President Donald Trump's attempts, unsuccessful thus far, to restrict U.S. visitation from certain Muslim-majority countries, plus changes in the ratio of hotel rooms to demand.

As such, Brindley said, rates in corporate-negotiated hotel programs are up on average from 2016, but not sharply so. "In general, what we saw overall in the sourcing programs for the 2017 season is that it's still a supplier-driven market, but it's not quite as much of a supplier-driven market as the last two years were," Brindley said. "Demand is still growing; it has a slow trend up. There's been a little bit more additional capacity in the market, and that's tempered some of the rate increases."

Per-Room Hotel development costs
In the U.S. cities, we have bifurcated extended –stay hotels in two categories, midscale and upscale, and we have added a lifestyle/soft-brand category. Lastly, we had a large sample of dual- or triple-branded hotels in our data set. The growing popularity of these dual- and triple-branded hotels warranted a separate category. Most of these dual-branded budgets included a limited-service hotel and a select-service hotel, and the limited-service property usually offered an extended-stay product. The averages and medians reflect a broad range of development projects across the U.S., including projects in areas with low barriers to entry and in high-priced urban and resort destinations.
In conclusion, the average rate of hotels per night in largest cities of U.S. such as New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, Houston, Chicago, is $260.27. It is assumed that this average rate will increases in next few years.
