The hotel leads its competitive set with an 79.8% occupancy level, and its historically strong occupancy is directly attributed to the hotel's consistent repeat business in the form of rate contracts with Northwest Airlines, American Airlines, US Airways and Continental Airlines, Its "Park-N-Fly" business also ensures continued high occupancy levels, as does its very successful military recruiting station marketing.
