  45 - Protect Your Price or Pay the Price: Inside The Wesley's First 90 Days with Micah & Adam

  Aug 20, 202646 min

  In this episode, Adam and Micah break down the operational and strategic realities of repositioning the oldest hotel in Page, Arizona into a competitive boutique property — from discovering their entire past guest database was masked and unusable by OTAs, to building a registration card system from scratch, protecting their ADR from day one, and making the bold call to replace a beloved playground with wellness amenities like cold plunges and fire pits. They also share early advertising results hitting 10X ROAS, the challenges of running lean with no GM or GC on-site, and why one $200 booking is worth more than two at $100.

  Aug 12, 202635 min

  In this episode, Adam and Micah pull back the curtain on the messy reality of opening their first boutique hotel in remote Page, Arizona — from accidentally overbooking on Airbnb and seeing 4.8x revenue growth, to personally guaranteeing a $4.8 million SBA loan where failure literally isn't an option. They also break down construction chaos, the steep learning curve of hotel software systems, and why a travel journalist just declared their property "the default stay" in town.

  Aug 5, 202643 min

  In this episode, Adam and Micah record their first-ever in-person podcast from Room 32 of The Wesley in Page, Arizona, pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to reposition a 1960s roadside motel into a boutique hotel 60 days before grand opening. They open up about the scramble for visibility on OTAs, the propane tank debate that nearly divided the partnership, a disco deck that has Adam ready to grab a mic — and the uncomfortable truth that making payroll has become a move-money-around moment every two weeks.
