Minneapolis's ADR rises 35% from Feb ($130) to Jun ($176), but occupancy rises 2.9× 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.
