Room Types

To view Room Types, go to SETUP | RATES | ROOM TYPES. A Room Type is a package; it has a description, picture, maximum guest capacity and rate. A Room Type may be a common description for a number of Rooms, or it may represent a single room.

The first step in creating a new Room Type is to create a Rate Plan. Rate Plans are assigned to Room Types (See Room Types) which are then allocated Rooms (See Rooms).

• Create and manage Rates
• Create Packages
• Add or modify Room Types and Rooms

When you click on RATES, the default view is the Rate Grid which displays your CURRENT Rates for all of your Rate Plans in a calendar view.

The Rates Area includes Rate and Room management as they are interrelated in the MyPMS System. 

Therefore, the Rates for a specific Room is the Rate Plan that is assigned to the Room Type. For Example, Room Type -QUEEN is assigned Rate Plan QUEEN and has 10 Rooms allocated to it. The Rates for those 10 Rooms in the QUEEN Room Type are ALL set at the QUEEN RATE Plan. If any changes are made to the QUEEN Rate Plan in Manage Rates, it will effect all 10 Rooms in the QUEEN Room Type.

When creating a Room Type you must provide the Room Type ID, the default Rate ID, the number of Rooms that belong in that type, the room class, the number of Bedrooms and the Maximum number of Guests. We encourage you to provide accurate full room and view descriptions as this information is available during online & GDS bookings.

*When you add or remove a room type remember to modify your agent allocations so it's available to the desired channels. For more information see the Agent Allocations section of the setup area.
