Pros and cons

It is a strong and neat system that is easy to navigate, the information layout is clean and clear and the menu is great. The fact it is cloud-based is great as it can be navigated from anywhere.
Positive note about this product is that it is very easy to use and it very user friendly-- I love the menu because its simple.
Katie Mclane with roomkey has been outstanding in her ability to help with any issues I have encountered.
Now, I need to block out something 6 months from now - same software error. The code doesn't recognize my last name as the owner.
Had some trouble with the meals tracking on the reports.
Not very convenient for hostel type accommodation, more suited to hotel properties. Customer service is very poor, difficult to get answers to many questions.

The Most Versatile PMS

Reviewed 4 years ago

This is the best PMS out there for my money. Opera is certainly the standard, but RoomKey does everything needed.

Pros

I love how easy it is to access my hotel from anywhere. I travel often and working with a property management system that I can access from anywhere provides loads of benefits.

Cons

The MAC interface was very frustrating, but it has since been developed a little better. I hope they develop their Apple product over time.

Great For Large Companies

Reviewed 2 years ago

My overall experience with Roomkey however, has been good with the customer service and tracking my bookings well. Great program with room for improvement, need more flexibility, but customer service is friendly and helpful. I don't feel stupid for asking any question I have and the solutions are taught in a way I can follow easily.

Pros

The customer service is unparalleled, lovely people, very helpful and informative. Lots of features and reports to run for what you need. Customizable for your individual business. Integrate with online platforms to get more customers.

Cons

If you are a smaller business I wouldn't recommend this program, it doesn't have a different package option with less features so I'm not overwhelmed with things I don't need. It is geared towards bigger companies like hotels or corporate. Difficult to navigate the program, not ease of access. Reports are hard to read as well.

Vendor response

Thank you for your positive review and feedback.

Customer Support

Reviewed 2 months ago

There customer support team is TOP TIER!!! You are not placed on lengthy holds waiting for someone to finally answer the call. When you speak with anyone from the support team, (especially [sensitive content hidden]), they are always pleasant and easy to talk to. They understand your questions and are very knowledgeable of system and are willing to walk you through the steps to fix/correct any issues you may have.

Pros

RoomKey is fairly easy to navigate. The "Search" tab is super helpful when locating a guest reservation. The "Help" tab has all sorts of information and trainings available.

Cons

I would like to see a function that separates the different rate codes, and show each guest that is staying under for instance the Corp. Rate or VA rate, not just on the in-house screen. Like you could research past guest that stayed under the Best Available Rate, etc.

Vendor response

Thank you for your kind review. Have a great day and if you need anything let us know.

Reviewed 14 years ago

Roomkey is easy to grasp most general areas. the finite idosyncrinicities can be a little difficult for a less computer literate person to understand but it can be trained into them.

Pros

Katie Mclane with roomkey has been outstanding in her ability to help with any issues I have encountered.

Cons

Elearn needs to be kept current with the versions of roomkey so that we can accuratly train new employees. whenever a new version comes out a complete list of all the changes made should be provided before the version comes out so that policies that may be affected by the changes can be reviewed and adjusted accordingly. the tokenization of CC#'s has created some issues. Having the "settle" button on the authorized transaction window is almost a nessesity for our property. there are issues with authorizations becomeing confusing for our guests and they think we have double charged them. Iknow that better training in this area does solve most issues but when new employees are just learning roomkey they make mistakes and the settle button can solve this.

Vendor response

eLearn - we are currently working on making our online training library more user friendly by merging documents. This will make it much easier to find what you¿¿¿re looking for. As an example, if you were looking for a document on how to change your rates, you would go to the Rates Module Document and the table of contents will direct you to the section on how to change rates. Documents for new versions - We have started this process as of our most recent release. On all future upgrades we plan to send updated docs out a few weeks before the release date so that clients can learn about new features in advance and be better prepared to get the most out of RoomKey Settle button for Shift 4 ¿¿¿ This has been added in our new release.

Very cumbersome

Reviewed 7 years ago

I'm a night auditor/ front desk person using this software for 6 months. It's cumbersome, compartmentalized. No one at the the hotel likes it. I'm wasting time on the software instead of working with the guests.

Pros

No breakdowns

Cons

Making a reservation is cumbersome, cannot check anyone in after midnight.., its not a well thought out program.

Excellent Software at a Great Price & Excellent Customer Support

Reviewed 2 years ago

From the time I first contacted RoomKeyPMS to inquire about their software, which is over five years ago, to today, I have always had amazing customer support. Our property is tiny, only 14 rooms, yet they treat us as if we were their biggest customer. We don't get that treatment from most vendors due to our size.

Pros

RoomKey PMS has all the functionality of large hotel chain software, but is easier to use and has a better look and feel to it. And you can't beat its value for the price.

Cons

There really isn't much to improve for our hotel. It has all the bells and whistles we need, and then some.

Thank you Shelly for your excellent review. If there is anything we can help with please let us know.

Along with the ease of use, the customer support of the friendly staff was a bonus!

Pros

This was an easy transition from franchise mandated software to an independent hotel PMS. Our staff was able to learn in literally days. All the necessary reports and management tools were available as well.

Cons

There were a few functions that I felt could of been more easily accessed, but overall the things I liked about the program outweighed the cons.

Boutique Hotel PMS

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

The software is well designed for small-medium sized hotels, the cost is low compared to other PMS relooked at. Lots of great functions such as Group Reservations, Add-ons to upsell on booking engine, Built-in booking engine, integrations with various POS and other software. The Forum is a great place to suggest improvements. The reason we picked it is because our city of operation loses electricity and internet often, and the Smart Files allows us to do check-ins and check-outs regardless. Offers all the great upgrades for hotels that need it to grow.

Cons

Very few cons, but if I had to state a couple: Takes a long time to get a Mac version developed, only Windows. Integrations are pricey but there is a vast array to choose from. Antiquated MS-DOs looking platform, could use some updating. Just small things

Vendor response

Thank you very much for the review. We strive to be a affordable PMS that is high-value. Please make sure to update free to RoomKeyPMS 10 for the updated modern look. Thanks for the feedback. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything.

Roomkey Customer Service

Reviewed 4 months ago

Room key has helped my team and me run our housekeeping schedule department smoothly by offering a housekeeping scheduler option. Their clear and concise group module is detailed and easy to create, making our load easier. On top of the accessible system, room keys customer service is hands down the absolute best. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] are phenomenal and work very well with questions and explaining how to do a particular task. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] is one of the most knowledgeable people to contact about room key he is kind with his delivery and clear and concise.

Pros

Room key software is reasonably simple to learn excellent and fast software.

Cons

The only thing I dislike about the software is there are a lot of steps to do specific tasks; however, there are also multiple outlets to help you through the process if you get stuck or are unaware of how to do something.

Outstanding Customer Service

Reviewed 2 years ago

From start to finish, the company was helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. They listened to what we needed and because we are a non-profit and not the usual type of client to use PMS software, they showed us how to use the system to our advantage and worked with us on customizing some reports that we found necessary.

Pros

As a non-profit organization, the combination of features and affordability made this product a winner. The platform is easy to navigate, the dashboard is very user friendly and if you don't know how to do something, there are hundreds of FAQs and How to articles with step by step instructions and screen shots to guide you. If you still need help, the customer service is exceptional. They are prompt, polite, knowledgeable and very friendly.

Cons

I have not found anything that I haven't liked.

Overall recommendation, looking into RSI would be a benefit to any hotel looking to maximize their revenue, save time, use state of art technology for GDS, key cards, credit card processing, etc. It's truly a magnificent system and the favorite aspect of our front desk

Pros

As a General Manager of 20 years in the hospitality industry I can confidently say our hotels performance is directly linked to Room Key. The technology is affordable; the staff at RSI is extremely cutting edge. Within the first six months of using RSI our occupancy went up 10%. Our staff honestly loves the system, front desk can be trained to take reservations and oversee check-ins within a few hours....

Cons

Well, in regards to the cons of the software, I guess there are a couple of things that I would like to see in future upgrades. We'd like to see the tape chart show a few additional days and we would like to enhance the logo imaging on the confirmations that we email out along with the fonts and overall design. We'd also like to add a function that drops held reservations with out guarantees after a preset time.

Simply the BEST!

Reviewed 8 years ago
Pros

The program along with interfaces are extremely easy to deploy and very, very user friendly! Their entire team are experienced hoteliers with warm, genuine and caring personalities. They take a personal approach in everything they do. They are continuously seeking ways to improve the product by reaching out to end users for feedback and beta testing. They also strive to ensure exceptional client services at every single touch point and beyond!

Cons

The only thing I would say I find challenging; when we first began with the program a little over 10 years ago I had become very used to having one main "go to" person I worked with as an ideas and support person. This allowed for a great working relationship and a clear understanding of needs and wishes. Now there is a team and I don't know all of them as well and sometimes communication isn't as clear as I would prefer - this would be from both my side and theirs.
