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 Mystic. Mystic and the Connecticut shoreline are weekend markets for New York and Boston, with a useful twist: Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun bring visitors all year. Summer weekends are strongest, and the casinos keep winter from going completely quiet. I price summer weekends firmly and use casino and event traffic to fill midweeks.
For a shoreline owner I confirm the town rules first, then position the home by walkability and water views, and build a calendar that values summer weekends fully while filling winter and midweeks with casino, college and defence-related stays, rather than leaving those nights empty.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Mystic.
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.
Casino concerts and contractors working at Electric Boat keep some demand alive, so I offer weekly and monthly stays and price headline concert nights at Mohegan Sun a little higher.
Coast Guard Academy and Connecticut College commencements bring families in May, so I price those weekends early and keep spring weekends steady around them.
Summer weekends, New London's Sailfest and the art festival bring the strongest demand, so I hold weekend minimums and keep oceanfront and village homes priced firmly until the last days.
Clear autumn weekends and seaport events keep demand good, so I price weekends near summer levels and offer midweek value to retirees and couples.
Holiday lantern tours at the Seaport and Christmas in Stonington Borough lift chosen weekends, which I price separately before the January lull.
Use 2-night summer weekend minimums, with July 4th highest.
Add the Mystic Outdoor Art Festival in August as a premium.
Price midweeks for casino visitors with short stays.
Price homes by walkability to downtown Mystic and Stonington Borough.
Lower January and February floors.
Performance has flattened

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.
