Free rooms

In a few installations it is necessary to know the free rooms by room number in detail. This happens if you manage e.g. several different apartments in SIHOT and the guest should be able to choose a certain apartment.

Therefore the systems can request a list of available rooms for a certain period.

The reservation has to be done also for the requested room number.
