Average hotel room prices in New York City have exploded now that 20% of hotels have been converted into shelters for illegal aliens.
The average hotel room rate in the city reached a record high of $301 a night since 1 out of every 5 hotels have turned into migrant shelters since 2022, the New York Times reported last week.
“About 135 of the city’s roughly 680 hotels entered the shelter program, with many congregated in Midtown Manhattan, Long Island City in Queens and near Kennedy International Airport — all traditional magnets for tourists,” The Times reported.
“Participating hotels are paid up to $185 a night per room, according to the city. Not a single one has converted back into a traditional hotel.“
