Create a new room type
Room types represent the type of accommodation available to your guests. Room types can have various types of rate plans assigned to them to manage the various ways you are offering the room type to your guests. The connection of a room type with a rate plan is called a room rate.
The channel manager manages availability by room type. So, if you have several room rates under one room type, and one of those rate plans gets a reservation, availability will reduce on the room type level and for all room rates under this room type.
Please note: Creating a room type in the Channel Manager will not create room types or rates in your connected channels or Property Management System (PMS).
To set up a new room type:
Click on ROOMS & RATES
Under Room Types , Click New Room Type in the upper right of the screen
Enter the name of the New Room Type
Optional: Enter occupancies for this room type and a description for your own reference
Click Save
Your new room type will now appear in the ROOM TYPES tab.
