Maximum Days in Advance to Allow Bookings
This setting controls how far in advance you allow guests to book at your property.

If you select SAME DAY, the property is only bookable on HotelTonight the day of check-in. The setting will be applied to all your listings on HotelTonight.
If you prefer a time frame less than the same day, for example by 19:00 (7 PM) on the day of check-in, contact a HotelTonight representative.

If you wish to remove certain room types that are showing on HotelTonight, contact your account manager directly. This should be done first before you update the room mapping in Cloudbeds PMS.
Unmapping in Cloudbeds PMS before HotelTonight has updated their room list could result in a possible overbooking due to the fact they are still showing room listing active on their public site.
