Pros / Cons
  • I wish that Availability Online could connect with popular rental sites such as VRBO and Airbnb and automatically update calendars as reservations are made.
  • The basic system is missing a few options that we would have liked to have, that seemed basic to us, (extra person cost, single person cost )but the premium system had way more features than we needed and was much more costly being in USD when we are CDN dollars.

  • It provides instant communication back to me, to include automatic calendar invites.
  • Open table has very often not saved my log in info and I have had to create new log ins because I had issues gaining access to the correct passwords.
