Palm Sunday was the week before Passover. In that time. Passover was a major pilgrimage festival, when Jews from around the Roman Empire felt an obligation to travel to Jerusalem, and when many Jews from around Judea and Galilee did make the pilgrimage. A week before the festival, significant numbers of Jews would have been making their way into Jerusalem, although the peak flow would have happened in the following days, and various rooms for rent would have been starting to fill up.
