I was just thinking the other day...well I was breaking down our rates. This was caused from people just being so confused at our high rates!
Right now our single person rate is $129+tax.
My 8 hours alone, before tax, I get $100. We have between 20-30 people working a day. Let's hit low, and assume they make 20 less then me, so $80. So 30 x 80 = $2400. We also got a bonus last month, per employee, of a whole $30. So, 30 x 30 = $900/mo for for bonus. I assume management's wages are year are...well nice. But they are payed on sallary, so I will ignore that one right now. If we sell all current avaiable rooms for our average we had last night, which was $101, but is usually around 90. Okay so last night we roughly made $12,120. Odds are at least one person will claim something horrible went wrong with thier stay, so let's deduct $101 from that so $12,019.
Okay enough numbers. We have a 24-hr pool & fitness room. A free business center computer with limitless paper usage (we don't charge). We don't charge for copies unless someone plans on doing 200+ copies, and we fax for free. We have an included breakfast buffet inlcuding a different hot item every day. We have an open (no code or passwords needed) wireless internet system.
Rooms are often destroyed, and we have to deep clean (including hiring carpet cleaning etc) at least once a week. Per room that is often close to $200 for nonsmoking rooms that were smoked in. (We do charge said smoker if we have their info/cc.)
We only charge for 1-2 adults. So, there can be 4-5 adults in a room but we only charged for 2. We do not charge for children.
The hotel needs 3-star upkeep, so things are constantly being replaced and/or repaired. Paint, furnature, carpet. We even had our pool completly resurfaced recently. Our last carpet replace cost $60,000, no joke.
We are inspected quarterly by our mother company, and have to pass that inspection or after 3 fails we would lose our brand name.
We have to order only our hotels' brand goods, which only come from our mother company. Everything, including towels & soaps are specially designed and stamped with our hotel's brand name. Our uniforms are not that great, but for 5 shirts and three kacki pants (specially designed by our mother company), a uniform for one person costs $200. Replacements and reorders are often needed for these.
9 buckets of fruit and 2 boxes of paper plates for the breakfast bar costs $93 (I have seen them myself), and that is only the beginning for the breakfast bar.
Okay I am gonna shut up now. My point is, I think $129 is a rather fabulous deal! But I do understand people who don't plan on swimming, eating, exercising, and only sleeping. But without those I would say $99 is a great deal.
