“Grand Rapids mixes midweek medical and conference travel with summer beach weekends on the Lake Michigan shore. ArtPrize brings a strong autumn event, and the Medical Mile keeps hospital travellers coming. I price downtown homes for midweek and events, and lakeshore homes for summer.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
The moves Alaa makes first when a hotel or host in Grand Rapids books a session, and the errors he corrects most often. Every one is set up inside your own pricing tool, so it keeps working after the call.
Set midweek rates for medical and conference visitors.
Price ArtPrize weeks as a premium.
Run lakeshore homes on summer weekend and weekly stays.
Build monthly rates for hospital contracts.
Lower January to March floors.

Lakeshore homes go quiet, so I move them to monthly stays, while downtown units lean on Medical Mile and convention weekdays with only modest weekend discounts.
Tulip Time in Holland is a short lakeshore spike in May; I price it on its own and treat Grand Valley and Calvin graduation weekends as smaller premiums downtown.
Beach homes in Grand Haven and Holland sell by the week; I protect Saturday turnovers and price the Coast Guard Festival in Grand Haven above the rest of the summer.
ArtPrize brings heavy downtown demand, so I confirm its dates and format each year, then price walkable units highest and keep lakeshore homes on autumn weekend rates.
Downtown relies on DeVos Place conventions and hospital visitors, so I keep weekday rates steady and price lakeshore homes for cosy weekend escapes with lower floors.
One person does the thinking on your account. Choose the kind of help your property in Grand Rapids needs; everything is remote, 1-on-1 and scheduled in your time zone.
If you own a downtown unit or a lakeshore home around Grand Rapids, I review how your weekday medical and convention demand, summer beach weeks and ArtPrize dates are priced, then build a plan with you that keeps both sides of the market earning through the long Michigan winter.
For Grand Rapids hosts I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with you: weekday rates for medical and convention guests, weekly summer rules on the lakeshore, and a monthly track for hospital travellers, with Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Furnished Finder kept in step.
Grand Rapids hotels balance conventions, medical travel and summer leisure. With my five-star hotel revenue background, I help with group and convention pricing around DeVos Place, extended-stay rates for hospital visitors and event controls for ArtPrize, so peak dates are not sold early at group discounts.

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!
Airbnb host
Yes, it brings strong autumn demand. Alaa prices those weeks as premiums.
Yes, hospital contracts create steady demand. Alaa builds monthly rates.
Yes. It brings visitors from across the Midwest for about a week in May, when the rest of the lakeshore is still quiet. I price those dates above ordinary spring weekends and set a two-night minimum on the Saturday, so the spike earns without blocking shorter stays on either side.
Often yes. From November to April, nightly demand on the lakeshore is thin, and a furnished monthly stay for a traveling nurse or relocating professional can cover the quiet season. I make sure any monthly agreement ends before late spring so the summer weeks stay open for families.
Yes. Alaa has optimized 100+ properties in and around Grand Rapids, from single Airbnb listings and small hotels to management companies running hundreds of units. Everything is remote on Zoom, scheduled in Eastern Time (UTC-5).
