What kind of lodging data will I see?

Key terms used in this module: 

Average Stay Value KPI is the average Unit Revenue by number of Guest Check-ins during a selected time period. Average Stay Value = Unit Revenue / Guest Checkins

Average Booking Window represents the number of days between when the reservation is made by the guest and the check-in date. 

ADR (Average Daily Rate) is the average Unit Revenue paid by guests for the Guest Nights in a given time period.
