Editing RoomTypes
Usually once your property’s room types are set up, they don’t tend to change.
If you are connected to a PMS, the room types and most of their information is ‘fetched’ from the PMS, so you don’t have to actually create them yourselves in Thynk, and we do NOT recommend you update anything other than ‘order’ (the order you want to see the room types appear in your availability screen) and the ‘Room Type Name’. The reason for NOT updating many of the areas in Room Types is that you would be affecting the PMS, and typically rooms are controlled by Reservations or other departments than Sales.

Best Practices for Editing Room Types
Most properties are connected to their PMS. In this case, we highly recommend you do not make changes to room types, except for perhaps the order, and the room type names.
This is because the room types come from the PMS, which is important for integration purposes.
If you are not connected to your PMS, and if your hotel wants to manage room types in Thynk, then, you can create room types.
Always make sure you have director approval.
