Rooms Availability provides a comprehensive view of available and sold rooms in the hotel across 14-day periods. You can use it for monitoring and forecasting inventory.
You can query availability for both the House level and Room Type Level. The House level shows the number of canceled reservations. Certain availability numbers provide links to more detailed information or the ability to set available rooms.
Rooms Availability also provides information on inventory that is below and within allowable limits for a certain option and date.
