Add Room Type

A Room Type may be a common description for a number of Rooms, or it may represent a single room.

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.

To Add a Room Type:

• Go to SETUP | RATES | ROOM TYPES. Click Add at the bottom of the Room Type List.
• Fill in the required information and enter all optional information as completely as possible.
• Click Save.
• The Room Type will then be added to your Room Type List.
• Then, if you want this Room Type to appear on your website or GDS, go to SETUP | RELATIONSHIPS |  AGENT RELATIONSHIPS  to allocate the Room Type to the proper channel.
