Pros

“The Little Hotelier support team spent considerable time investigating the issue with me, coordinated the technical details, reviewed XML logs and helped narrow down the root cause.”

Daniel G.

Owner

“For day-to-day operation the system is straightforward, but advanced configuration changes require careful planning and a good understanding of how channel mappings work.”

Daniel G.

Owner

“I followed each of these many options, including clearing the history cache, changing passwords, moving to a different secure network, etc before asking for a human - and then I was able to change the MFA within a few minutes).”

Stuart M.

Owner and operator

Pros

“This product was brought in by Motel 6 learned it by myself and trained others.”

Michelle D.

Gary U.

Manager

“For adding a pet, we have to push several buttons, where one would suffice.”

Debby A.

Manager

Cons

“Setup of the "Extra Items" section seems to assume these items are large, so does not easily allow for the sale of smaller items such as gift cards, postcards and other products that might usually not be sold for whole dollar figures. ”

Stuart M.

Owner and operator

“Good but as an ex-IT consultant, I just feel that the product development that I have witnessed over the years has been pretty uninspiring to the point where just about every other provider has a richer feature set for similar cost.”

Nick D.

Owner

“Currently, the system doesn't allow us to input two separate reservations for the same room on the same day, even if the first guest has already checked out.”

Zarista D.

Guesthouse Manager

Cons

“Doesn't update Data properly if occupancy is above 90% , need option to add existing reservations to the group or option to transfer folios to one room for multi room reservation , if possible auto update signpad app .”

Daisy P.

Manager

“I don't like that when you bring up a date for arrivals or departures, it shows dates for before and after the date. If I have an arrival for 5/13/22, I don't want to see the arrivals for 5/12/22 or 5/14/22, Just 5/13/22!”

Debby A.

Manager

“ex: it won't let you make any changes for groups such as date change, rate change. ”
