STAAH Max - Booking Engine - Swiftbook Day Use Packages

A ‘day use’ room typically refers to a hotel room or accommodation that is rented out for a portion of the day rather than for an overnight stay. It is ideal for guests who need a space to freshen up, relax, or work between meetings or during a layover.
The feature is now available and supported on the SwiftBook booking engine.
