Frequently Asked Questions

Amenity fee landscape?

Urban hotels: $20–50/night amenity fee covering Wi-Fi, fitness, basic continental, late checkout. Resort fee: $35–100/night covering pool, beach access, daily activities. FTC 2024 rule: must disclose total price up-front including all fees, no "drip pricing." States enforcing: NY, CA, MA, TX. Major brands (Marriott, Hilton) shifting to all-in pricing in select markets. Net contribution: 80–95% margin on amenity fees vs marginal cost of services included.

How does this support hotel underwriting?

Hotel investors and operators use this calculator alongside RevPAR, GOP, and flow-through analysis to validate operating assumptions. Pair it with a comp set benchmark (STR or HotStats data), brand/franchise standards, and seasonal demand patterns. Output is most useful when triangulated against trailing twelve-month financials and a forward booking pace report.

Brand vs independent treatment?

Branded hotels (Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, Choice, Wyndham) typically follow USALI 11th edition reporting which dictates how this metric flows through the P&L. Independent and lifestyle hotels have flexibility but most lenders still expect USALI-aligned reporting. Use brand standards or local CVB data when defaults aren't representative of your asset.

Seasonal sensitivity?

Inputs based on annual averages mask peak/shoulder/trough volatility. Resort properties may see 60–80% of annual revenue concentrated in 4–6 months. Urban transient is more even but dips for weekends. Model peak month, shoulder month, and trough month separately if seasonality exceeds 20% swing. Stress test with a 10–15% RevPAR shock for cycle planning.
