Score a specific Washington address against revenue, occupancy, and yield benchmarks.
Washington's ADR rises 38% from Aug ($154) to Mar ($212), but occupancy rises 2.6× 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.
