Makes life easier

The number one business problem I’m solving with Hotelkey is consistency in the department of avoiding invalid credit cards. Hotelkey has a method where they will check the card IN ADVANCE for you and then mark the card invalid accordingly. You won’t even have to check back on the extranet to see if the card was updated or needs to be canceled, Hotelkey will do that for you.

Pros

I like the ease of using the product. It is smooth and efficient. I also enjoy how the product is cloud based so there is no concern about hardware crash and losing data. I also like the manager’s app on my smartphone because I am able to see all the information I need in the palm of my hand. Closing rooms and updating the rates are all but a few taps away on the mobile phone. My FAVORITE part is the front desk is always able to (24/7) contact the support hotline and get help.

Cons

I’ll have to admit, in the beginning I was a bit skeptical because we could not get the basics started for the app. Let me clarify, we had a certain way of processing our check-ins and check-outs from our older PMS that we preferred to continue using our new one. Never the less, they were able to make some changes and improvements the way I wanted them and now its smooth sailing. Allow them to hear your opinions and suggestions and they will always do their best to make the changes needed.

Easy and User Friendly Software

Overall experience with HOTELKEY is like a family. When you call customer service or reach out to them they know you as with a name first and then HOTEL CODE. Whereas I have used Choice Advantage software and other softwares and they only recognize you with number or hotel code. HOTELKEY knows you by name and that’s the biggest part of customer service as able to recognize the people with real name and not number . Obviously the 24-7 customer service is excellent. Once you experience this software you will find other softwares as more disorganized and abundant with steps to guidelines and features.

Pros

The best part about this software is the End User interface. It is so easy to use and the software itself guides to step by step whenever you check in a guest. Also, I have admin access of it and it is also user friendly and easy to change rates and make changes remotely if not at property. They provide 24-7 customer service if you want to reach them. The best part of this software is that you can access via MOBILE APP.

Cons

There is always room for improvement if they allow full capabilities on the MOBILE APP. Also, the feature where customer can check in without the Live front Desk.
