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 Lake Arrowhead. Lake Arrowhead and Crestline are close to Los Angeles, which means weekends, not weeks. Summer water and winter snow are the peaks, and powder days bring sudden demand. Oktoberfest adds an autumn event. Being so close to Los Angeles means guests decide late, especially when snow is forecast. I keep weekend pricing responsive and midweek pricing simple, rather than locking rates months ahead.
For Lake Arrowhead and Crestline owners I check permit status, lake privileges and winter access before touching price. Then I map the two peaks, summer water and winter snow, and give the long quiet stretches between them a realistic target so the year does not depend on a few storm weekends.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Lake Arrowhead.
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.

Snow-play weekends swing on the forecast. I keep a moderate base, then lift Friday and Saturday the moment a storm is confirmed, and add winter driving notes so the extra demand does not turn into cancellations.
Snow melts and the lake is still cold, so I price for budget-minded Los Angeles families, allow single weeknights and avoid holding Saturdays that will not fill at summer rates.
Homes with lake privileges set the top of the market. I hold two-night weekends, three nights over July 4th, and price the Fourth fireworks week as its own band.
Oktoberfest Saturdays in the Village and Thanksgiving week carry the season. Between them I keep rates soft and let Sunday to Thursday sell short.
Christmas week and New Year sell to families chasing snow and Santa's Village. I open them early with longer minimums and keep pre-holiday weekends ready to jump if it snows.
Price summer lake weekends with 2-night minimums.
Adjust winter weekends after snowfall.
Price holiday weeks as premiums.
Add Oktoberfest weekends.
Discount midweek.
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. Whether the San Bernardino County short-term rental permit number, occupancy cap and parking count match what the listing advertises, since mountain lots often fit fewer cars than the bed count suggests.
Busiest in Lake Arrowhead: June to August on the water and the December to February snow-play holidays, with Oktoberfest in autumn. December: Christmas week and New Year sell to families chasing snow and Santa's Village. I open them early with longer minimums and keep pre-holiday weekends ready to jump if it snows. January to February: Snow-play weekends swing on the forecast. I keep a moderate base, then lift Friday and Saturday the moment a storm is confirmed, and add winter driving notes so the extra demand does not turn into cancellations.

Summer-lake and winter-snow twin peaks for a close Los Angeles drive market, holiday and powder-day premiums, and weekend minimums with midweek shoulder discounts.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number.

Crestline and Lake Gregory: The first mountain town off the freeway, cheaper and closer for day-weary drivers. I sell Lake Gregory's swim beach in summer and position it as the value choice in snow season. Lake Arrowhead Village and the north shore and Blue Jay and Skyforest get their own treatment.
