Create Rooms
Adding a room takes about 1 minute once room types are ready. Bulk adds take about 3 minutes.
This guide helps you add rooms in AVA so they can be assigned to reservations.
Go to: Rooms
The Add Room button and Room Types tab appear only when your PMS is AVA. If you use another PMS, create rooms in your PMS and sync them into AVA.
You need at least one room type before adding rooms. Create one in the Room Types tab if the list is empty.
