Managing Housekeeping
Housekeeping section is designed to allow housekeepers to view and update Housekeeping status for each
reservation/room on daily basis. There are two different views for you to choose based on your needs
- Room Status - room based view (more commonly used for hotels)

have only one room per room type)
