IMPORTANT
- To show online correctly a value has to be placed against a room type, if that room type is not to be used then a 0 must be inputted.
- Adding a ceiling will NOT restrict how many rooms will show available on online channels (i.e. OTAs & your own website), it will simply restrict the number of individual reservations that can be booked if a ceiling is set.
