Bakersfield's ADR rises 77% from Sep ($93) to May ($165), but occupancy rises 1.6× in the same window. The revenue lever here is occupancy capture, not pricing — set rates competitively in shoulder months to maximize summer bookings, then push ADR aggressively in peak months when demand is inelastic.
