On this week’s episode of Short Term Rental Management, Luke shares a Disney/Universal trip debrief as a barometer for U.S. travel, noting lighter morning crowds, busier afternoons, and a stark contrast in customer service. He ties those observations to today’s market—rates likely easing, Main Street feeling pinched—and advises STR operators to prioritize competitive nightly pricing over splashy amenities, consider temporary cleaner-fee adjustments, and focus on delivering a clean, reliable guest experience.
