According to Sonesta Simply Suites' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, occupancy is a measure of the utilization of capacity in their system of hotels. Occupancy for Brand Hotels, in the aggregate, represents total paid rooms occupied in the relevant Brand Hotels divided by total available rooms in those Brand Hotels.

For the 12 franchised Sonesta Simply Suites hotels analyzed in 2024, the median occupancy was 72.2%, with a range from 53.5% to 94.0%. This means that half of the franchised hotels had an occupancy rate above 72.2%, and half were below. The range indicates the lowest and highest occupancy rates among the hotels studied.

For the 50 company-owned hotels, the median occupancy was 69.6% with a range of 44.5% to 90.3%.
