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 McCall. McCall is Boise's lake and snow getaway. Payette Lake fills summer weekends, Brundage Mountain brings skiers and the Winter Carnival in late January to February is the top winter event. Most guests drive up from the Treasure Valley for weekends.
For a McCall owner I build a year with two peaks and long quiet months, check permits and occupancy, and set clear rules for weekends, midweeks and holidays. The goal is that the lake summer and Carnival carry their full value and spring does not drag the year down.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in McCall.
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.
The ten days of ice sculptures and the parade weekend sell first, so I open them early, set three night minimums on the opening weekend and keep midweek carnival nights priced up too.
Brundage and Tamarack keep weekends busy, so I hold Friday and Saturday rates, offer midweek ski stays at a lower price and watch snow reports for quick weekend lifts.
Snowmelt and closed trails leave the town quiet, so I drop the floor, allow single nights and target remote workers who enjoy a cheaper week on the lake.
Payette Lake drives the year, with July 4th the busiest week; I price lakefront weeks with Saturday changeovers and keep in-town homes on two night weekends.
Larch colour, hunting season and quiet lake days bring couples and hunters, so I keep weekend premiums modest and reward longer midweek stays.
Holiday weeks fill with Treasure Valley families, so I set four night minimums over Christmas and New Year, then drop back to ski-weekend pricing.
Price Winter Carnival as a top premium with minimum stays.
Price June to August lake weekends.
Use 2-night weekend minimums.
Price lakefront homes clearly higher.
Discount midweek in the shoulders.
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. How the listing handles winter access, plowing and parking, since Boise drivers with trailers and snowmobiles avoid homes that look hard to reach after a storm.
Busiest in McCall: June to August on Payette Lake and late January to February for the McCall Winter Carnival. June to August: Payette Lake drives the year, with July 4th the busiest week; I price lakefront weeks with Saturday changeovers and keep in-town homes on two night weekends. December to mid-January: Holiday weeks fill with Treasure Valley families, so I set four night minimums over Christmas and New Year, then drop back to ski-weekend pricing. 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.
Summer lake and Winter Carnival twin peaks, weekend minimums for the Boise drive market, and shoulder-season midweek floors. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the McCall calendar before I make it. June to August: Payette Lake drives the year, with July 4th the busiest week; I price lakefront weeks with Saturday changeovers and keep in-town homes on two night weekends.
Payette Lake fills summer weekends, Brundage Mountain brings skiers and the Winter Carnival in late January to February is the top winter event. Most guests drive up from the Treasure Valley for weekends. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in McCall.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In McCall the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price June to August lake weekends. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
McCall sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com.

Donnelly and Tamarack: Closer to Lake Cascade and Tamarack Resort, these homes earn from ski weekends and summer golf; I price them below McCall in summer but strongly in winter. Downtown McCall and the Lardo area and Payette Lake shoreline and Warren Wagon Road get their own treatment.
