Booking Engine & Availability Displays

    

We offer two types of reservation forms: 1- Confirmed Reservation Form- A hands-off option. Your guests receive an auto reply email that contains a copy of their reservation information with a confirmation number and assume their reservation is final. 2- Reservation Request From-  A hands-on option. Your guests receive an auto reply email that contains a copy of their reservation information.  Your guests will await to hear from YOU for final confirmation. Both reservation form options securely collect your guest's credit card information (if you choose). You would process your guest's credit cards using your normal processing method. When your guests submit a reservation you are instantly notified by email (Premium subscribers can be notified via Text Message, Fax and/or Pager as well).  There are no additional fees or commissions charged to you for any reservation using the Availability Online booking engine.

Adding your vacancy information to your availability calendar is as simple as a click of your mouse. Once you login to your personal Administration Center, place a check mark in the Update Grid for each Room and Date that should appear 'booked' on your display calendar. If you use a compatible Desktop Reservation Software system, updating your vacancy information can be automatically updated.
