FW: RevMax Meeting for 3/31

 
RevMax Meeting for   3/31     

 

Forecast 

 

-March  ended up at $617,397; $169,517 under budget. 

-April decreased by   $14,000 to last week 's forecast  and  is  $16 over  budget.  

-May came in down to last weeks forecast by  $18,000 and is under budget by  $31,725.

-June's  came in over last week by  $16,000 and is forecasted to come in under budget by $ 43,267

    We are very concerned about June's ADR. We are currently forecasting to come in under budget by $11.00. Group  We typically can maximize a higher ADR in June by pushing our Suite spread strategies. June is normally a high ADR month for the city. The economic downturn has pushed Denver into dramatic rate wars that are already showing an impact on June.

Ira

In the last 7 day we’ve had 16 same & next day inquiries which is a big jump from the 6 from the week prior.  Of the 16, 2 said the rate was too high. 

We had American Cancer in this week which impacted availability.   

We are calling 3 people (4 & 5 nighters) from the waiting list now.  Started at -4, -2, -4.  The first caller took it but was leery of the price, but excited there was a room.  $339 is the quote for 4/18 on

Please ask all sales managers to be very clear on notes that have rooming list & some call ins on the same group.  There is no way for us to know who is ok to call in if the notes don’t indicate. 

  Weekly STAR 

·         Lost ground – 105% index on Occ / 84% on rate = 87% index on RevPar

·         Trans was 167% index +85% change / Group was 32% index -70% change

·         Friday and Saturday were our strongest days / Monday weakest

·         Comp set was up 36% vs. we were up 17%

·         Biggest hit was in Group rate – there was a small citywide that we were not in – the big hotels in the block had high rates that were set several years ago that they were able to keep.  Hotels not in the block were vulnerable to current market conditions, so there was a huge disparity.

Hotelligence

We cam in at 108% Index  for  February .
