Stay Restrictions workings:

1. The overriding order of priority for the stay restrictions is as follows.
   • Hotel Restrictions
   • Room Category Restrictions
   • Room Type Restrictions
   • Rate Category Restrictions
2. This means that the highest level restriction will override that of the lower level restriction, e.g. hotel level restrictions of the same dates will override any room category, room type or rate category restrictions.
3. Any stay restrictions created will also update the rate restrictions created in the individual rate plans.
4. Any new rates or rate plans created or updated at the rate plan level will also be superseded by the created stay restrictions.
5. In cases where there are overlapping dates for stay restrictions within a stay restriction section, the sort order will determine the order of priority. A smaller sort order number will be given higher priority to an overlapping restriction with a higher sort order number.
