Hi all-
In our area we've just about peaked on what we can charge for our rooms. Currently we have weekday rates and weekend rates. I was thinking of raising the weekday rates to the weekend rates- a $10.00 difference and then raise the weekend rate $5.00. I don't know...I get worried about raising rates, but we haven't done it in a few years and as all of you know the price of food, fuel oil, etc...has all gone up.
We have two types of rooms...4 with jacuzzi tubs and fireplaces and 4 that do not have the add'l ammenities. All luxury rooms are the same rate and all standard rooms are the same rate. The difference of the price of the two types of rooms is $45.00.
I figure people are already willing to pay the weekend rate so it wouldn't be a huge shock for the weekday rate to go to that price and only raising the weekend $5.00 wouldn't put the rate as a sticker shock. Is anyone else toying with rate changes and if so how are you thinking of doing it? Raising rates to me is always a scary thing.......
