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 Missoula. Missoula is a university town and road-trip stop. Grizzlies football Saturdays and graduation create peaks, summer brings fly-fishing and park travellers and medical centers support longer stays. Winter is slow, so monthly stays matter. It is also a stopover between Glacier and Yellowstone, so summer brings shorter stays than many owners expect. I allow those stays in summer and use longer monthly rates to carry the winter.
For a Missoula owner I confirm the permit, then build a year that values football and graduation fully, captures summer road-trip traffic, and uses monthly medical and academic stays for winter. I also check the listing's location detail, because walking distance drives the premium here.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Missoula.
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.
Snowbowl skiers and medical and academic stays keep some demand alive, so I lean on monthly rates and price the few event weekends a little higher.
Spring runoff slows fishing, but the International Wildlife Film Festival and May graduation lift chosen dates, which I price ahead while the rest stays flexible.
The Missoula Marathon, river season and Glacier and Yellowstone road trips fill the town, so I accept one or two night stays and keep weekend rates firm.
Griz home games and fall fly-fishing on the Bitterroot and Clark Fork make autumn the top season, so I load the football schedule early and price rivalry weekends highest.
Playoff games and December commencement can add a few strong nights, so I keep those dates open for a short-notice lift and otherwise return to monthly stays.
Price Grizzlies home football weekends as premiums.
Price graduation weekends early.
Use 2-night summer weekend minimums.
Build monthly rates for medical and university stays.
Lower January and February floors.
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 close the home is to the university and Washington-Grizzly Stadium on foot, because football guests choose by walking distance and pay noticeably more for it.
Busiest in Missoula: June to September for the road-trip season and the autumn Grizzlies football Saturdays. June to August: The Missoula Marathon, river season and Glacier and Yellowstone road trips fill the town, so I accept one or two night stays and keep weekend rates firm.

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.

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

I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
