It would be good to have the option to be able to choose dates ahead of time and be able to choose to block before or after or both. We have a digital lock on the unit so guests can check in without us being here but if we are going to be way for a couple of days we have to wait until someone books and then block the next night so we don’t have to rush back for cleaning.
we often go way for 1 - 2 nights and it is annoying to have to get online and remember to block after a booking.
One time 2 different guests booked consecutive nights within minutes of each other so our only choices were to either cancel one booking or cut short our stay to race back in time to clean for the following guest.
we don’t want to block dates and miss potential bookings so this additional option would be handy.
