Frequently Asked Questions

Major PMS vendor costs?

Oracle OPERA Cloud (full-service): $20–50/room/month. Marriott/Hilton/Hyatt brand-required PMS: included in fees. Cloudbeds (independent): $15–35/room/mo. Mews: $10–25/room/mo. Hotelogix: $5–15/room/mo. innRoad: $200–500/property/mo. Setup: $5k–50k integration depending on connections (channel manager, payment, accounting, RMS). Plus channel manager $2–8/room/mo, RMS $5–25/room/mo separately.

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.
