been using the system for about six months. Front end user and administrator, setting up rates, etc

Reviewed 8 years ago

some things could use more flexibility, like headings for reservation confirmations to be customized, for example. Reports for tax purposes have been an issue but this is being or has been resolved, I believe. Direct connects to OTAs has worked seamlessly, integration with payment gateway is easy and consistently performing well. Setting up rates, seasons, close-out dates took some work until I became more familiar with the product. Looking forward to seeing what comes next!

I work with ease 24/7 after using Frontdesk

Reviewed 6 years ago

I would recommend this software for all business owners on the move and who would like to boost their business activities.

Pros

The cloud version makes it possible for me to manage my business on the go. The interface has such a easy layout, everything is at your fingertips. Strong reporting capabilities.

Cons

More API integrations Needed. Integration with own bookkeeping software would make the system the best.

A Happy Client

Reviewed 10 years ago

FrontDeskAnywhere is highly recommended by the staff of Deerfield Inn, North Carolina. We are very pleased and secure with the service that is provided and are enjoying online reservations and many compliments regarding our website.

Pros

From the beginning stages to the full implementation of our website, FrontDeskAnywhere has been totally accommodating at every turn. Our representative, Nadim, has been available to the many questions that arose...and had answers! Now that we are "live" and establishing our upgraded business, Nadim is supportive and involved in our progress. FrontDesk is highly recommended!

Cons

Deerfield Inn does not have any cons regarding FrontDeskAnywhere.

All Star Property Management System

Reviewed 8 years ago

I have worked on numerous hotel property management systems during my career and I have not come across a system more user friendly, easy to learn, and versatile than Front Desk Anywhere. This program has increased the efficiency of my staff allowing them to focus directly on guest service. The ability to access the property from anywhere, even on my iPhone, has allowed me to increase sales, quickly respond and resolve service issues and increase guest satisfaction. The best thing about this software is the team behind the system. They are available, always willing to help and they are committed to our success.

Small inn using Frontdesk Anywhere

Reviewed 8 years ago

Overall, we've been very pleased with the ease of use, training, analytical power, and customer support of Frontdesk Anywhere. From implementation to on-going service needs, we have received excellent support. The system is intuitive, our staff was easily trained, and we are able to derive a wealth of statistical information to help us manage our revenue. For a 15-room inn on a beach, we needed cloud software that was sophisticated, but also manageable and reliable. After researching and interviewing over 10 comparable platforms, we ultimately chose Frontdesk Anywhere and are pleased with the results.

Obscure, arcane, complex, complicated, contradictory and apparently the best you can get.

Reviewed 8 years ago

I'd be screwed without this program but it's got a long way to go before I'd call it "user friendly". It's complexity merits some training just to use the basic functions but I was given the keys and told to just start driving, lots of accidents. It has been a horribly frustrating learning curve. When I call customer service it sometimes takes days to get a call back. I will say that the folks on the other end are generally friendly and helpful.

Most flexible solution available on the market

Reviewed 8 years ago

After 6 months of intense use of Front Desk Anywhere, I can only have good things to say about the Software. It's simply what we were looking for: a platform that allows us to manage different properties in different devices (PC, Ipad, Smartphone). It's easy to use and this helped us in decreasing the number of hours in staff training, since everybody can learn it in just a couple of hours. Totally recommended

Extremely accommodating

Reviewed 8 years ago
Pros

The best thing about Frontdesk Anywhere (FDA) is their willingness to accommodate. If there is something that is not currently built into FDA, they do their very best to either find a work around or they actually will build it for you! The words "no" or "impossible" are just not in their vocabulary.

Cons

They are in CA, and sometimes the time change makes it difficult (I'm on the East Coast).
