Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides hotel revenue management consulting for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Cooperstown, United States, one to one, remotely and in Eastern Time (UTC-5). In Cooperstown, I price June to mid-August (tournament weeks) and Induction Weekend (late July) as the peak and January to April and November to December as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar. Hotel revenue management consulting is a fixed-scope, fixed-price engagement quoted after a free discovery call, based on room count, room types, channels and scope. An audit with a strategy roadmap is a single project fee, usually delivered in four to eight weeks.

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 Cooperstown. Cooperstown has one of the most unusual demand patterns in the country. All summer, Dreams Park brings youth baseball teams and their families for week-long tournaments with fixed arrival days, and Hall of Fame Induction Weekend in July fills the village. In winter, the market nearly closes. The whole year is decided by how well summer weeks are priced and sold.
For a Cooperstown owner I study how your home matches the tournament week schedule, its bed capacity and its distance to the fields and the village. Then we set summer week pricing, a plan for Induction Weekend, and a realistic off-season approach, whether that is monthly tenants or shoulder-season weekends.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Cooperstown.
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 offer furnished monthly stays to hospital staff at Bassett, college faculty in Oneonta and contractors, and use this quiet time to load next summer's tournament weeks at confident rates.
Hartwick College and SUNY Oneonta commencements plus early lake visitors give some weekends a lift, so I price graduation dates individually and keep other weekends simple.
Each Dreams Park week is a product of its own; I sell them whole, matched to the team arrival day, and price weeks that overlap with Glimmerglass performances a little higher.
I keep the weekend separate from the surrounding tournament week where possible, with a three-night minimum, because fans and returning Hall of Famers outbid baseball families for those nights.
Couples come for the lake, the Farmers' Museum, Brewery Ommegang and autumn colour, so I switch to two-night weekend stays and lower weekday floors to keep the calendar moving.
I set modest holiday weekend rates for family visits and Christmas in the village, then return to monthly offers once the short December spike passes.
Match stays to the Dreams Park tournament week schedule and check-in day.

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.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. Strong work!
Airbnb host
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 far the home is from Dreams Park in Hartwick versus the village, since a short drive to the fields matters more to tournament families than a lake view.
Busiest in Cooperstown: June to August for the Dreams Park tournament weeks and Hall of Fame Induction Weekend in July, with the summer Glimmerglass Festival alongside. June to mid-August (tournament weeks): Each Dreams Park week is a product of its own; I sell them whole, matched to the team arrival day, and price weeks that overlap with Glimmerglass performances a little higher. Induction Weekend (late July): I keep the weekend separate from the surrounding tournament week where possible, with a three-night minimum, because fans and returning Hall of Famers outbid baseball families for those nights. 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.
Week-long tournament minimum stays through the summer, Induction-weekend surge pricing, and off-season monthly positioning for a market that all but closes in winter.

Induction Weekend (late July): I keep the weekend separate from the surrounding tournament week where possible, with a three-night minimum, because fans and returning Hall of Famers outbid baseball families for those nights.
