Despite the lower revenues, hotel direct operating margin for the quarter was 14.3% — only 60 basis points lower than the prior-year period. System-wide RevPAR (which includes franchised hotels) on a comparable basis for the quarter decreased 12.7%, caused by a 520 basis point decrease in occupancy and a 3.0% decrease in ADR.
Franchise and management revenue was $0.3 million, or $0.1 million lower than the prior-year period due to a lower number of franchisees in the system. Entertainment revenue was $2.5 million, a decrease of $0.7 million compared to the same quarter in 2008.
