Room Types and Room Inventory for Hotels
The room list is the base every booking sits on. Floors, numbers, categories and bed configuration are entered once, and the chart and the rate plans read from them.
How the property is described
Rooms are described the way the staff already describe them at handover.
Rooms that cannot be sold tonight
A room leaves sale when it is under repair, being painted or kept for staff. It is blocked with a reason and a return date, so the chart stops offering it and occupancy counts it apart from a room nobody wanted. Housekeeping and maintenance both read the same block.
What the room list feeds
What the hotel decides
- How floors, blocks and cottages are named and numbered
- Which categories exist and what each one includes
- Maximum occupancy and the extra bed rule per category
- Who may block a room and who may release it
- Whether staff and owner rooms sit in the sellable list
Frequently asked questions
Can rooms be renumbered later?
Yes. Numbering, names and categories are changed on request, and bookings travel with the room they point to.
Does a new category need its own rates?
Usually. A category holds its own base amount, so the plans that apply to it are entered when it is created.
Is a whole cottage block sold as one unit?
Yes, where the property sells it that way. The block is set up as its own category with its own occupancy.
How are rooms under repair treated?
They sit blocked with a reason and a return date. Occupancy keeps them apart from rooms that were simply unsold.
