More than half of hotels are still short-staffed despite 70% raising pay

AHLA's March 2026 survey of 246 hotel owners found more than half understaffed even though 70% are offering higher wages. Cost of goods and supplies (71%) outranked labor costs (65%) as the most cited financial pressure.

  • 01Cost of goods and supplies (71%) outranked labor costs (65%) among hotel owners' most frequently cited financial pressures in AHLA's 2026 survey.
  • 02Higher wages are offered by 70% of surveyed hotels; a separate AHLA and Hireology survey fielded between Dec. 6, 2024, and Jan. 3, 2025, put that figure at 47%.

65% of North American hotels reported staffing shortages in 2025 as AI moves into ops

65% of North American hotels reported staffing shortages in 2025 as AI moves into ops

A BCG and NYU SPS analysis says 65% of North American hotels reported staffing shortages in 2025. Labor costs rose 11.2% year over year. The report says hotel discovery is shifting to AI assistants, pushing operators to build machine-readable content and integrated data.

  • 01If AI assistants surface only a short list of hotels, content and rate shopping shifts from “best page” SEO to “best answer” data hygiene across channels.
  • 02The biggest blocker to scaling AI in hotels is still plumbing: nearly half of hoteliers report difficulty accessing critical business information, according to Hotel Management.
  • 03Operational AI claims can be tested quickly: housekeeping cycle time and food waste are already instrumented at many brands, so baselines and reporting cadence can be set in the statement of work before deploying.

Hotels Face Branded-Search Interception as Google Reshapes Booking

Hospitality Technology reported that third-party sites bidding on hotel brand names can intercept guests before they reach a hotel's own checkout, citing Operto research.

  • 01Hospitality Technology cited Operto research finding that a competing third-party ad appears on roughly three-quarters of branded hotel searches, with an average of nine such sites bidding on a given hotel's name
  • 02The same report attributed roughly 8% of direct-booking loss to this interception, noting these bookings can be misclassified as ordinary OTA business in PMS reports
