I am also from a small property. I have an odd use case for this that hasn't been mentioned yet. Some of the suites we have are well laid out to be a day-use desk space if I were to lock off the bedroom doors. I started playing around with how I might work that in my demo. I set up a bookable day service for Desk Space along with my Stay service. Even with just one desk space reservation and three available spaces in the category, the stay category that assigned desk space was in couldn't take any more reservations. If it didn't preassign desk spaces but just tracked that enough were available to accommodate existing reservations, that would add a whole new level to how I am able to sell my space.

This feature adds unnecessary work for our front desk team. We need to be able to assign rooms for VIPs, ECI based on first departed rooms. We are a small hotel with many room types and having to reassign rooms all the time is extremely time consuming and not efficient. We need to have the option to turn this off. Those that want to use it can and those of us that do not, can turn it off.

Our hotel has a lot of different room categories. So it would be easier to allocate the rooms if they weren't automatically assigned.

We have room categories, but within the category there are too many differences.

As all our rooms are different, it's very important for us not to have automatic room assignment.

I agree

it would be interesting to create rules regarding the automatic attribution
