Introduction to
Ad-Hoc Reports
What is the difference between STAR
reports and Ad-Hoc Reports?
• STAR Reports refer to the reports that are delivered to
hotels that compare the subject property’s performance
to the competitive set and to surrounding industry
segments
• Hotels and companies have annual subscriptions which
include STAR reports as well as other services
• The STAR reports are generated and delivered each
month, week, and/or day. These are relied upon by
managers, and by Sales and Operations departments.
What are Ad-Hoc Reports?
• STR generates many other reports for both hotel
companies and a variety of additional third parties
• These reports provide performance information as well
as additional data
• These reports can be requested on a one-time basis,
hence the name “ad-hoc” reports
• Customers can select a specific industry segment or a
user-defined group of hotels
How are Ad-Hoc Reports Used?
• Ad-Hoc reports can be used by developers for
“Feasibility Studies”, when someone is analyzing
whether to build a specific type of hotel in a specific
location
• These reports can also be used for “Impact Analyses”
when someone is trying to determine the past affect of
some type of event (for example: a sporting or political
event, a natural disaster, or a new tourist attraction)
• Ad-Hoc reports can also be used to gain a better
understanding of the lodging industry in an area
• There are may other uses for ad-hoc reports
Trend Reports
What are Trend Reports?
• Trends are the most popular type of ad-hoc report
• Trend reports show historic hotel performance for an
industry segment or user-defined set of properties
• Trend reports typically display monthly performance data
for 5 years, although you can request 10 or 20 years of
data.
• Trend reports can also include daily data or Segmentation
data (Group/Transient/Contract)
Options for Selecting Hotels
• There are three different options when it comes to
selecting hotels for a Trend report:
1. You can choose a standard industry segment, based
upon pre-defined geographic and non-geographic
categories
2. You can select hotels based upon a wide range of
variables
3. Or, you can choose a specific group of individual
properties
You can also request a “Radial Trend” based upon latitude/longitudes
Selecting Hotels using Industry Segments
• An industry segment can just be a geographic area such
as a market, tract (sub-market), city, county, state,
country, sub-continent, or continent:
– Nashville Market
-- Nashville Downtown Tract
– Tennessee State
-- Davidson County
– Germany
-- Europe
• An industry segment can also be a combination of a
geographic area and a non-geographic category such as
scale, class, location, or type. So you could request
country scale, market location, or tract class:
– Nashville Airport Location
-- US Economy Scale
– London Luxury Class
-- Tennessee Convention Type
Selecting Hotels based upon Variables
• For a Trend report, you can select hotels that meet a
certain set of criteria
• Your query can include a wide range of variables
including:
– Geographic fields
-- Number of Rooms
– Non-geographic fields
-- Age, Open Date
– Brand or Parent Company
-- Management Company or Owner
– Operation (Corporate vs. Franchise) -- Ex-Affiliation
– Number of Floors
-- Interior/Exterior Corridor
– Restaurant
-- Meeting Space
– Type/Features (Ski, Spa, Golf, Boutique, Extended Stay, Conference,
Convention, Casino, All-suites, Waterpark, Condotel)
A full list of fields is available
Selecting Specific Individual Hotels
• There are times when you might want to select a specific
set of individual properties
• You can request a “Participation List” which displays all the
hotels that submit data to STR in an industry segment or
based upon variables
• You can then select specific hotels from the list that you
would like to have included in your Trend report
• When requesting a Trend, you can provide a list of STR
numbers. These are the codes that STR uses to identify
hotels.
Rules Related to Trend Reports
• You must select 4 or more participating hotels. If there is
a month when all 4 hotels did not submit data for any
reason (hotel not open, hotel did not report), data for that
month will not appear. For that reason, it is advisable to
select more than 4 hotels.
• There cannot be too high a percentage (based upon
number of rooms) for a single hotel, brand, or parent
company. If you have a problem, you will need to add or
remove hotels until the percentages are okay. The US
percentages are 40, 40, and 50. The non-US
percentages are 50, 50, and 60.
More Rules Related to Trend Reports
• The sufficiency and percentage rules protect the
confidentiality of the data, so as not to reveal too much
about the performance of a single hotel or brand
• If you request multiple Trend reports, the hotels that you
select on the separate Trends must differ by more than
one participating hotel. This ensures that no one can
isolate the data of a single hotel
• These same rules apply to Custom HOST Reports as
well
Types of Data in a Trend Report
• By default, a Trend Report includes monthly data for 5
years. You can request 10 or 20 years of monthly data or
specify a starting date back to 1987.
• You can also request special types of data:
– Twelve Month Moving Average data – great for graphing
performance over time
– Quarterly data
– Daily data - back to 2000, great for Day of Week analyses or
tracking special events
– Weekday/Weekend data – approximate business vs. leisure
– Segmentation data – separate Group, Transient, and
Contract numbers (occupancy and ADR)
Requesting a Trend Report
• To request a Trend Report, you can email the Trend
department:
trend@str.com
• Professors from schools who are members of the
SHARE Center can also email:
steve@str.com
maria@str.com
• The Trend staff can help you with your selection
• You can also specify a different currency if desired
Trend Report Fulfillment
• The normal turn-around time for a Trend is two
business days, although there are times when there are
a high volume of requests
• Trends are delivered via email
• Trend reports are in Excel format. This makes it easy to
work with the raw data. You can sort data by day or
month. You can graph actual numbers or percent
changes over time.
• Trend reports are generally not available online due to
confidentiality issues
Introduction to a Trend Report
• A Trend report is an Excel workbook with multiple tabs
or pages displaying the various information and the
different types of metrics
• There will be additional tabs or pages if you request
any of the special types of data listed on the previous
slide
• The next slides with step through all the various pages
in a Trend report and describe all the information
included on each page

Custom HOST Reports
What is a HOST Report?
• A HOST Report displays annual Profit and Loss
information, including Revenue, Expense, and Profit
accounts
• A HOST report displays P&L data for a single year. It is
possible to obtain reports for multiple years.
• There is a slightly different version of the report for FullService versus Limited Service. The Full-Service report
includes numbers related to the operation of a restaurant.
Hotels that just offer complimentary breakfast are not
considered “Full-Service”.
Requesting a HOST Report
• When requesting a HOST report, you can specify a
standard industry segment, a group of properties based
on countless variables, or a user-defined set of individual
hotels
• It is possible to request a HOST Participation Report that
lists the hotels that submit HOST data in an area
• Since there are separate Full-Service and LimitedService reports, you want to select hotels accordingly or
you will need to get two reports
Who Uses HOST Reports?
• The HOST report provides valuable data. A Trend report
shows the performance metrics (Occupancy, ADR,
RevPAR for a group of hotels.
• A HOST reports shows profitability information for a
group of hotels. You can track additional revenue
amounts, beyond Room Revenues. You can also track
various expense amounts.
• HOST reports can be used in the process of a feasibility
study. They can also be an important part of a valuation
process.
Introduction to HOST Reports
• HOST Reports list standard P&L accounts:
– Revenue: Rooms, Food, Beverage, Other F&B, Telecommunications,
Other Operated Depts, Rentals and Other Income, Cancellation Fees
– Departmental Expense: Rooms, F&B, Telecom, Other Operated Depts
& Rentals
– Departmental Profits: same as above
– Undistributed Operating Expenses: Administrative & General,
Marketing, Utility Costs, Property Operation & Maintenance
– Gross Operating Profit: then Franchise Fees, Management Fees, and
Income Before Fixed Charges
– Selected Fixed Charges: Property Taxes, Insurance, Reserve for
Capital Replacement
– Amount Available for Debt Service
Introduction – More Accounts
• Additional P&L-related information appears at the
bottom:
– Supplemental Payroll Analysis: Rooms, Total Food & Beverage,
Telecommunications, Other Operated Depts, Administration &
General, Marketing, Property Operations & Maintenance
– Supplemental Food & Beverage Information: Cost of Food Sales, Cost
of Beverage Sales, Food & Beverage Payroll, Food & Beverage
Other Expenses
• For detailed definitions of each account, refer to the
Uniform Systems of Accounts for the Lodging Industry
(10th) Edition
Introduction – Key Metrics
• For each of these accounts, the HOST Report displays
three different metrics:
– Ratio to Sales (RTS) – the total Revenue or Expense divided by
the total amount of Sales (Total Revenue) in most cases. The
Ratio to Sales for Departmental Expenses and Profits (Rooms,
F&B, Telecom) are based on the respective revenues.
– Amount Per Available Room (APR) – the total Revenue or
Expense divided by the number of rooms in the hotel
– Amount Per Occupied Room (APO) – the total Revenue or
Expense divided by the total annual number of occupied rooms
for the hotel
HOST Table of Contents

Additional Ad-Hoc
Reports & Data Files
What is a Census Database File?
• A Census Database file provides attribute information for
hotels. This is different than performance or P&L data.
• There are nearly 100 fields of hotel information: name,
address, and phone, geographic and non-geographic
attributes, rack rates, meeting space, amenities,
affiliations, dates, and latitude/longitude
• The file can provide valuable information about hotels in
an area. This can be part of a feasibility project or a
market overview. This data is also used by vendors who
are marketing to the hotel industry.

Requesting a Census Database File
• When requesting a Census Database File, you can
specify a standard industry segment, a group of
properties based on variables, or a user-defined set of
individual hotels
• Census Database Files are available for US and WW
(non-US) hotels. Remember STR tracks additional
hotels beyond ones that submit performance data.
• The data file is provided in an Excel format so that you
can manipulate the data as desired
Census Database File
Property and Room Counts
• It is possible to obtain property and room counts for
groups of hotels. This can be a very informative part of a
market overview
• You can select a geographic area, such as country, state,
or market. You can also select one or more subtotals, for
example: Total US by State and Market, State by Scale
and Brand, or Market by Location
• The Count Report displays number of properties and
rooms for Census (all hotels) and Sample (ones that
submit data to STR)
State of Tennessee by Market and Tract
Nashville Market by Brand
Ad-Hoc Industry Data Files
• Ad-hoc industry data files can be helpful when a user
needs historic data (range of time periods) for a variety of
US or WW industry segments
• The user can select the industry segments (markets,
tracts, counties) and the date range (start/end
month/day). You could also select the time period
(current month, YTD, running 3 or 12-month)
• Raw data can be provided in Excel format. This option is
not as attractive as a Trend report, but can be used when
a volume of data is needed for research or analysis.
Contents of Ad-Hoc Industry Data Files
• Ad-hoc industry data files contain raw data: Supply,
Demand, and Revenue. You can use these to calculate
Occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR.
• There are also fields for Description (of the industry
segment) and Date (either month in YYYYMM format or
day in YYYYMMDD format)
• There are fields for Industry Segment ID (TR00=tract,
CY00=county, MASC=market scale) and for the Primary
Segment (6-number code for geographic segment) and
for the Secondary Segment (1-number code for the
Scale, Location, or Class)
