Highly recommend your product for price, ease of use and especially your helpful service dept.
Although I like FDA, it really needs improvements that would benefit both parties for revenue.

Easy to use, web based hotel operating system

Reviewed 3 years ago

We use FDA to operate four very busy hotels in the Los Angeles area. The system allows us to make reservations, check guests in & out of the system, track deposits, run a multitude of reports including sales and future revenue on the books.

Pros

As a web based system, I have access to all of my hotel properties from anywhere in the world, including my smart phone. The grid view of our hotel rooms is a great visualization of hotel occupancy and available rooms. The system is very easy to use and makes training new employees very simple and cost effective.

Cons

All software programs can have glitches and FDA is no exception. The customer service & support team has always been responsive to challenges.

good software app

Reviewed 3 years ago

it works and serves the purpose we need. would like features for analytics to be expanded but understand that is costly too. the savings we get versus other software is enough to offset that inconvenience.

Pros

FDA is good for a property of our size. Cost is reasonable and serves its purpose.

Cons

revenue tools are limited and require a lot of manual data entry versus be able upload large batches of data or rate adjustments. can be glitchy at times. would really like to have adhoc reporting functions.

Pros

Good functions, easy to use. Have a good number of Management and other reports. Easy to setting up the property,

Cons

The price could be lower for smaller less than five room bed and breakfast properties. I would have liked an automatic e-mail to be sent when there is an overbooking. A report generator will be definitely an area Front Desk can look at.

Best Overall Value

Reviewed 12 years ago

After conducting a thorough review (including demostration periods) of more than a dozen hospitality management solutions, both web based as well as physically installed software, our organization concluded that Frontdesk Anywhere was, without a doubt, the best overall combination of useful feature richness, ease of set up & implementation and price. With a responsive and professional support staff, Frontdesk Anywhere is, in our opinion, one of the industry's best values.

Pros

Ease of staff monitoring Ease of data entry Real time room status updates between departments Ease of rate change and promotional integration

Cons

The only suggestion we would offer for future versions would be the integration of a seperate maintenance department module that would work side-by-side with the front desk and housekeeping portions of the platform.

A PMS Startup Great for Small Businesses

Reviewed 3 years ago

I chose Frontdesk Anywhere, and have long been an advocate. I even pulled another Tulum hotel in as a client! I have experienced some frustration with the limitations of the software/customization capabilities, and the clunkiness of use on the user side of things (PMS) and the client side of things (IBE). Really, truly, having [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] as a high-level contact who addresses our needs has been a huge bonus.

Pros

I love that FDA is easy to use, and that I can make modifications to many things that I need to modify (plus can get in the backend and modify HTML, etc). I don't think there are very many options in this price point for small businesses like ours, and I have enjoyed growing with the company. Plus, I love [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]. She has been a rock for my team since the beginning.

Cons

Some things that I think should be customizable / better designed simply are not and I wish for a Spanish language backend that was fully functional, as much of my team is in Mexico, where our business is located. That might be a niche comment though :) Customer service has been notoriously unavailable on weekends, holidays, and outside of 9-5 PST work hours. I think they're making an effort to combat this on email support at least. I haven't tried to call in a long while because of my frustration around availability.

I've been using Frontdesk Anywhere as our PMS software for 3 years now. As a Sales and Marketing manager of an independent hotel, this cloud based software is a gem.

We are looking forward to be using their full function of POS software. At the moment, we use the lite version that comes with the package but the result is great anyway.

Easy to use

Pros

Easy to set up, quick to learn. Visually very clear and pleasant. Easy to run different reports. Use of different colors for different status of the bookings.

Cons

Not able to scroll horizontally so it is hard to see bookings more than a month. No CVV pre-authorisation (CVV can be hidden after pre-authorisation but the system should allow pre-authorisation with CVV checked). Payment between group folio and individual folios should be transferable. Report involving group accounts not always accurate. All emails sent to guest include price information and...

Pros

Simple to use and good value for money. Easy to install with adequate training and ongoing help and support when required.

Cons

There isn't really anything we don't like about the software - basically we need to utilise more of its resources and reporting but this is an in house issue!

FrontDesk Anywhere is completely customizable based on your property and needs. It is VERY user friendly. You can also have the option to view other properties that you manage which comes very handy when managing or overseeing multiple properties. Ties into GDS as well. Would highly recommend and a great value for the price.

There is nothing that I do not like about this software.

Frontdesk - Okay, but not enough

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

Frontdesk Anywhere is a decent Property Management System that also helps you manage your relationship with OTAs. It has great reporting features, a nice back end user interface, decent front end user interface, and automated emails.

Cons

Frontdesk Anywhere lacks an availability calendar for its front end users, which is something that should be standard with any booking engine. It doesn't offer promo or group code features, the support features are minimal, and the price is not competitive.

Newly acquired B & B w/o a reservation program until now.

Reviewed 12 years ago

Highly recommend your product for price, ease of use and especially your helpful service dept.

Pros

Working with Frontdesk before our purchase convinced me I could do this. Within the first month I agreed to purchase and with the support I received from my service rep, Sean McDermott we were up and running in a short period of time. I can't thank Sean enough for his timely support. The more I use the system the more I can appreciate the thought that went into designing it.

Cons

Like to see a way to allow for rooms that we sometimes donate to worthy causes without applying prices that reflect income. May have other suggestions after weeks and months of using your system but for now not many.
