Why are hotels so expensive this week?
Hotel prices jump when a big convention, game, concert or holiday fills the city. HotelSpike lists the events behind the spike, straight from official calendars, so you can pick cheaper dates or at least know why.

How it works
We read convention center, venue, team and tourism calendars, keep the real events, and rate each one High, Medium or Low using published attendance where it exists. Then we show which weeks look crowded and which look quieter. Read the method.
