Chamberlin Inn

Located in the heart of Cody, Wyoming, just steps from the legendary downtown Main Street, the historic Chamberlin Inn is renowned for providing the finest accommodations in Cody. The family-owned and operated inn features twenty-one individually decorated guest rooms and cottages around private landscaped gardens and a courtyard. As third-generation hoteliers, they find immense joy in serving guests and employees, creating memorable experiences that positively impact everyone involved.

“Although we have not been using RoomPriceGenie long enough to have long-term numbers, we have already seen our RevPAR increase by 10%. This solution strikes a perfect balance between providing additional occupancy and weighing that against the best rate.”

The Challenge

Before implementing RoomPriceGenie, the Chamberlin Inn manually adjusted its rates. Although other properties in the group used revenue management consultants, they felt they could manage rates successfully because the Chamberlin Inn is a smaller property in a smaller, seasonal area. However, being unable to respond quickly enough to last-minute changes in demand led to missed opportunities.

“The challenge with managing a seasonal small property is that you face a rapid change in circumstances with which you must respond quickly. It was often not a top priority because it is so seasonal. However, this led to some mistakes, missing an influx of bookings on a specific date and not adjusting in time, or having a group take a large chunk of inventory and not being able to adjust rapidly enough or be alerted in time,” explained the inn’s owner, Mariah Dailey.

The Trigger

The decision to change their pricing approach came when RoomPriceGenie contacted them directly via email. The owner was impressed by the demo and the responsiveness of the RoomPriceGenie team, which demonstrated the system's potential value. “We assumed there was no solution that was affordable to small, independent properties, so we would have continued manually committing time and energy to revenue management and manual adjustments,” said Mariah. Discovering an affordable solution that provided direct control while automating critical aspects of revenue management convinced them to adopt RoomPriceGenie.

The Solution

Working with RoomPriceGenie has been a huge source of support for the Chamberlin Inn. Leslie, a Sales and Revenue Manager at RoomPriceGenie, provided exceptional support, helping the team quickly understand and personalize the tool. The ease of use, coupled with the ability to access the system from any device, allows for real-time adjustments. Unique settings enable different strategies for peak and low seasons, ensuring rates never drop below a threshold. Mariah adds, “Something as simple as setting base and peak rates gives us a huge sense of relief knowing that rates will never arrive below a threshold, allowing us to sleep much better at night!”

The Result

Although the Chamberlin Inn hasn’t been using RoomPriceGenie long enough to have long-term numbers, they have already seen a 10% increase in RevPAR. The solution effectively balances occupancy and optimal rates, suggesting higher rates for peak times that might have been overlooked otherwise. “We have certainly saved time using RoomPriceGenie, and the time spent on revenue is now more enjoyable and more efficient,” shared Mariah. The system helps catch booking surges early, protecting remaining inventory and ensuring profitability. Most importantly, RoomPriceGenie provides the peace of mind to run a more profitable business while dedicating more time to tailoring unique guest experiences.
