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 Hood River. Hood River is a wind-sports town with orchards and Mount Hood nearby. Summer wind season brings adventure travellers, blossom time and Harvest Fest add spring and autumn peaks, and Mount Hood skiing helps winter. Wind season guests often decide based on the forecast, so some bookings arrive late. I keep summer weekends firm and allow a little flexibility in the final week.
If you own a home in Hood River or across the Gorge, I review your permit position, how the wind season, orchard festivals and Mount Hood winter are priced, and build a plan with you that keeps weekends strong and fills the long winter in town.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Hood River.
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.

Town demand drops, so I lower floors and sell homes toward Mount Hood Meadows and Cooper Spur as ski bases, with weekend premiums only when the mountain is open.
Blossom time on the Fruit Loop lifts April weekends; I price those Saturdays above March and keep weekdays open to Portland couples on short breaks.
Wind starts and waterfall hikes peak; I raise weekends and keep weekday rates moderate, since many sailors still decide on the forecast a few days out.
The windiest weeks bring visitors from across the country, so I hold weekend minimums, open longer stays early for travelling kiters and keep the last-minute rule light.
Late wind, harvest and Harvest Fest in October keep weekends strong; I price festival weekend above other October weekends and step weekdays down.
Price June to September weekends with minimum stays.
Add Blossom time and Harvest Fest weekends.
Price homes with gear storage higher.
Add Mount Hood ski weekends in winter.
Lower November to February floors in town.
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 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 the listing describes the drive to the Event Site, the Hook and the Fruit Loop orchards, since wind-sport guests choose on how fast they can be on the water.
Busiest in Hood River: June to September for the wind sports, with orchard-festival lifts at Blossom time in April and Harvest Fest in October. September to October: Late wind, harvest and Harvest Fest in October keep weekends strong; I price festival weekend above other October weekends and step weekdays down. May to June: Wind starts and waterfall hikes peak; I raise weekends and keep weekday rates moderate, since many sailors still decide on the forecast a few days out.
