Support is not quick, When I found all the flaws I send email no one replied for almost a week. Finally I send another email stating I am out if I don't hear from you guys. A reply was send stating the issue. When I send all the item I was told manage all those item through OTA how do you do that. Check in , check out extra charges are done in house. What about walk in guest ? feels like some kid try to paly with app. Don't waist your time

Pros

Easy to setup, I was able to create rooms and groups

Cons

Lots of important function missing. Any hotel / Motel management software will have basic function such as check in, check out. Changing status of the guest. When guest decided to stay longer price don't add up. You don't see the price of the room when someone calls unless its totally saved. For guest entire stay you can enter payment once. so if guest extends or buy something from lobby no way to add to the booking. lots of flaws in the software basics are missing totally waist of my time.

Your service has helped us increase occupancy and, as a result, increase sales. Many problems with online booking from different channels were solved. Guys, you really are professionals and your help is invaluable.

It would be great to add Russian language, maybe :)
