A guest experiences one hotel, not six departments. The quality gap often appears when useful information fails to travel as smoothly as the guest does.
Past investment explains how an asset reached today. The better capital decision asks which option creates the most value from tomorrow onward.

An OTA booking is not automatically expensive or valuable. The better question is how much genuinely additional demand the channel creates for the hotel.
