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 Indiana Dunes. The Indiana Dunes is Chicago's beach weekend. Most guests drive or ride the South Shore Line for two or three nights between June and August, so Fridays and Saturdays carry the year. Homes in Beverly Shores, Long Beach or near Washington Park in Michigan City win on walking distance to the sand. I price the beach walk first, protect summer weekends with two-night minimums and accept that winter is quiet.
For a Dunes owner I compare your summer weekends with the weekdays around them, then look at how early the Fourth of July and August sold. We set minimum stays, a beach distance position against nearby homes and a winter plan, and I explain each rule so you can run it without me if you prefer.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Indiana Dunes.
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.
When I audit a hotel here, the comp set is often too narrow, covering only Michigan City while guests compare Chesterton, Portage and the Michigan side around New Buffalo as well. I review how the hotel priced the Fourth of July, Labor Day and football Saturdays, and whether winter weekdays were sold to business travellers or simply discounted.
The roadmap starts with a broader comp set across both states, then weekend and weekday pricing rules the whole team can apply consistently.
Spring migration and the Indiana Dunes Birding Festival bring visitors before swimmers, so I lift Saturdays a little, keep Sunday to Thursday cheap, and start summer pricing at Memorial Day.
Every Friday and Saturday is valuable; I open summer early, hold the weekend minimum until about ten days out and keep weekday rates attractive for families who can travel midweek.
Beach, lighthouse, outlets and the casino give year-round reasons to visit, so I price these homes on a softer seasonal curve than the dune towns.
My full Indiana Dunes calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Indiana Dunes.

Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan.

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!

Whether local registration and Indiana's innkeeper's tax are in place, since requirements differ between Michigan City, the small beach towns and unincorporated parts of LaPorte and Porter counties.
Busiest in Indiana Dunes: June to August, with summer weekends the highest. June to August: Every Friday and Saturday is valuable; I open summer early, hold the weekend minimum until about ten days out and keep weekday rates attractive for families who can travel midweek.

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.

Next: from November to March, price for couples who want the quiet lakeshore, with low floors, one-night weekday stays and weekly offers.
Chesterton and Porter: Inland but close to the state park and the European Market, these suit families watching their budget; I price below beach homes and push weekly summer stays.
