I didn't ask about the occupancy levels; however, the CY Lake Placid, NY appeared to be %50+ occupied during the week based on the number of cars in the lot. As the weekend approached, when we were checking out, it appear to jump upto %75+ occupancy. Front Desk staff did indicate they have been busy since NY opened hotels to everyone about 5 weeks ago (previously was only essential workers).
Stayed at the FI Queensbury, NY prior to the CY and it appeared to be approx. 1/3 full during the week and 2/3's full over the weekend. Not a Marriott, but originally was going to stay at the HI Lake George Resort and they appeared to be near %100 full. Due to some issues with the HI, wound up staying at the FI Queensbury, NY instead.
CY Lake Placid looked like a mix of business and leisure travelers. FI Queensbury looked like almost all leisure travelers. FI Olean, NY was less than %20 occup
I haven't had any business travel since late February nor do I expect to have any the remainder of the year. All business travel is currently prohibited by my employer with very few exceptions and I expect that restriction to remain in place for the foreseeable future. Depending on the Covid-19 case levels, I may have a couple of more leisure trips to visit family before the end of the year.
