Create guestroom types
The information in this topic applies to guestroom creation with version R40 and higher. If you are using version R39 or lower, refer to Create guestroom types.
Before users can begin blocking guestrooms for bookings, all guestroom types that exist at the property need to be created.
The Run of House (ROH) room type is provided by default, and is always number 1 in the sort order. ROH represents the total number of all guestrooms at a property. This room type is where you enter revenue management details including transient protected, budgeted rate, and minimum acceptable rates. To enter those details, see Edit guestroom types.
To create a guestroom type
- In the Guestroom Types section of the Property page, click New. The Add Guestrooms page displays.
-
Enter the following information for each guestroom type you are adding to the system. As you add room types to the grid, they display in draft status. When a room is in draft status, you can further edit your entry, adjust the sort order, or correct typing mistakes.
Field Description
Room Type Name Enter the guestroom name to display in customer-facing documents. Room Type Code Enter the room type code that matches your front office system. For properties with an External Availability or PMS integration, the room type codes need to match.
Total Rooms Enter the total inventory of this guestroom type when none of the rooms are out of order.
If your property is integrated with a PMS, this value needs to match with that system.
Max Occupancy Enter the maximum number of people that can stay in the room. For example, rooms with two beds might have a maximum occupancy of 4, and rooms with one bed might have a maximum occupancy of 2. Number of Beds Enter the total number of beds in the guestroom. For example, a King with a pull-out sofa has 2 beds. -
When you are finished adding room types, click Save.
When you save a room type, five years of inventory are automatically added to populate the Availability page. This type of inventory is called guestroom type days. This process might take several minutes.
