Online reservations differ from online availability.
The first is a instant confirmation of a room and the last only tells you instantly the availability for a room.
The reservation has to be done at a later point by the hotel when they get back into the office. The then see your reuqest and answer it.
The last is a bit complicated and does not give you the full potential of the net.
Online reservations requires the hotel to uses an external server to host all his info and this makes him reduce his gain in profits in at least 10 %. This can be a downfall for small business that are trying to incorporate online internet reservations systems into their daily go about.
