Does Housekeeping Suite replace our PMS?
No. Your PMS remains the system of record for reservations, folios, and core room inventory. Hotel Central runs the daily housekeeping workflow beside it: room conditions, service types, assignments, exceptions, and recorded activity.
What room and assignment statuses does Hotel Central track?
Room conditions are Dirty, In Progress, Clean, Inspected, or Out of Order. Assignments use a separate lifecycle: Pending, In Progress, Completed, or Cancelled. A manual room-condition change does not automatically complete an assignment.
How does Smart Assign work?
A manager selects the rooms and housekeepers before running Smart Assign. The tool sorts those rooms by room number and distributes contiguous blocks across the selected staff.
What can housekeepers report from the room workflow?
Housekeepers can flag DND, still occupied, or service denied, and can report a maintenance issue or lost item. Maintenance and lost-item reports can include optional photos.
Does Housekeeping Suite require a live PMS integration?
No. Teams can manage rooms directly in Hotel Central and preview and import compatible housekeeping files. Supported formats vary, and importing a file does not create a live PMS connection.
Does completing a deep clean finish the daily room assignment?
No. Deep Cleaning is a separate scheduled workstream. A deep clean and a daily housekeeping assignment can exist for the same room and date, and completing either one does not complete the other.
How is Housekeeping Suite priced?
Housekeeping Suite is included in Professional and Hotelier. It is also available separately for $79 per month or $790 per year with no setup fee.
