Hotel revenue management consulting is an independent review followed by a plan. I look at 12 to 24 months of your own data, shop your comp set, and find where rates, restrictions or channels are costing you money. Unlike outsourcing, I do not make your daily decisions; your team does, with a better plan.
This is my view of Coeur d'Alene. Coeur d'Alene is a lake town with a short, valuable summer, and Spokane is a city with events and Gonzaga. Ironman in June and Hoopfest in Spokane are the dates that fill both, and lakefront access decides most of the summer price in Coeur d'Alene. Winter depends on ski weekends at Schweitzer and Silver Mountain.
If you own a Coeur d'Alene lake house or a Spokane home, I review your water-access tier, your summer week structure and your event calendar, then give you a written plan for each month. Owners with homes in both cities get separate plans, because the demand drivers barely overlap.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Coeur d'Alene.
A review of the last 12 to 24 months: pricing decisions, rate architecture, restrictions, channel mix and cost, comp-set position, pace and the systems behind them, with every gap ranked by value.
Base rates and floors per room type, BAR levels tied to occupancy and pace, seasonal and event calendars and restrictions, written as a 12-month calendar your team can run.
Which channels to sell on, at what rate and with which promotions, so the mix protects margin: OTAs, corporate, wholesale, metasearch and direct.
A demand forecast, an annual budget, weekly pace reports and a workshop for your team, plus honest advice on revenue systems before you sign for one.

Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
I set Spokane floors around Gonzaga home games and hospital travel, and price Coeur d'Alene homes for weekend ski trips to Silver Mountain and Schweitzer rather than weekday leisure.
Bloomsday in early May is the first real spike in Spokane, and Gonzaga commencement follows, so I price those dates individually while keeping lake homes modest until the water warms.
Ironman weekend and late-June Hoopfest each get their own rate and minimum stay; I open both early because athletes and basketball teams plan lodging months ahead.
Lake homes carry the year here, so I protect week-long bookings, price Fourth of July as a top band and avoid discounting late, as Northwest families book right up to arrival.
Couples and golfers replace families, so I drop weekly minimums to two or three nights and use weekend rates that still respect the lake view, without summer pricing.
I lift a few December weekends for the holiday lights cruise and Spokane holiday events, and otherwise accept lower occupancy instead of selling lake homes for less than they cost to run.
Price lakefront and lake-access homes as clearly separate tiers in summer.
Price Ironman Coeur d'Alene and Hoopfest weekends as event premiums, opened early.
Use weekly stays for lake homes in July and August.
Add Gonzaga graduation and big basketball weekends for Spokane homes.
Lower winter floors, with ski weekends priced a little higher.
Performance has flattened
RevPAR is stuck while the market around you moves on.
Opening, renovating or rebranding
A new positioning needs a pricing and distribution strategy built from scratch.
An owner wants a second opinion
You need the operator's numbers checked by someone outside the hotel.
You have a team but want a better plan
Someone prices today and wants an audit, a calendar and training.
Thirty minutes on your property, your market and where you think revenue leaks. I scope the work and confirm the price before starting.
With read-only access to your PMS, channel manager and extranets I analyse the data, shop your comp set and talk to whoever sets rates today.
A written report and a working session: the gaps ranked by value, the strategy to close them and a 12-month calendar.
Step 4
I can set the strategy up in your systems, train your team and check in monthly, or run it for you as outsourced management.
Every engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-price. After a free discovery call you get the scope and the price in writing before any work starts. Training days and monthly check-ins are quoted separately.

Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.
Property manager
Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!

For hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. How Spokane and Coeur d'Alene listings compare in the channel manager, because a 40-minute drive splits them into two markets and many owners only check comparables in one.
Busiest in Coeur d'Alene: June to August lake season, Ironman in June, and Hoopfest in Spokane. June: Ironman weekend and late-June Hoopfest each get their own rate and minimum stay; I open both early because athletes and basketball teams plan lodging months ahead. July to August: Lake homes carry the year here, so I protect week-long bookings, price Fourth of July as a top band and avoid discounting late, as Northwest families book right up to arrival. For hotel revenue management consulting, my audit tests whether your current rates and restrictions capture these windows, and the 12-month calendar I hand over sets them in advance.
Summer lakefront premiums, event weekends, and winter floors. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Coeur d'Alene calendar before I make it. July to August: Lake homes carry the year here, so I protect week-long bookings, price Fourth of July as a top band and avoid discounting late, as Northwest families book right up to arrival.
Ironman in June and Hoopfest in Spokane are the dates that fill both, and lakefront access decides most of the summer price in Coeur d'Alene. Winter depends on ski weekends at Schweitzer and Silver Mountain. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Coeur d'Alene.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Coeur d'Alene the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price Ironman Coeur d'Alene and Hoopfest weekends as event premiums, opened early. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Coeur d'Alene sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. April to May: Bloomsday in early May is the first real spike in Spokane, and Gonzaga commencement follows, so I price those dates individually while keeping lake homes modest until the water warms.

Spokane South Hill and Browne's Addition: Historic homes near downtown attract event visitors and hospital families; I price them on Spokane's calendar of Gonzaga, Hoopfest and Bloomsday, not on lake season. Downtown Coeur d'Alene and Sherman Avenue and Hayden Lake and the north shore get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Coeur d'Alene, not the market average.
