Room Types Collection

API methods to work with Room Types
Room Type represents an accommodation inventory at your property. A villa, room or bed at a hostel dormitory can be a Room Type.
If your property uses rooms instead of the traditional room type then just create a room type for each room. If you have vacation rentals you need to make a room type for the property since creating a property alone is not enough.
