PricesWe used the median nightly price in Engine hotel searches, with taxes and fees included. These are prices people saw in search, not bookings or Engine's negotiated prices.
A typical WednesdayLuckily, all three holidays were on Wednesdays in 2025, which gave us clean comparisons. We skipped the weeks right around Christmas and New Year's.
10% ruleWe only call a city cheaper or more expensive if it moved at least 10% against both the weeks before and after. About 1 in 10 normal Wednesdays move that much by chance.
Thin dataWe left a night out when it had thin data, fewer than five companies, or one company making up over half the searches. Full methodology.
