Little Hotelier is built for the smallest independent properties, and it shows in how little setup it asks for. The PMS centers on one calendar that captures direct bookings, OTA reservations from the channel manager and walk-ins, and staff can take deposits and payments from the same screen. A mobile app, housekeeping status with notes for changeover staff, bulk rate updates and scheduled guest messages cover the daily work of a B&B or small inn. Because it is part of SiteMinder, the channel manager reaches more than 450 channels. The US pricing page lists Basics from $39 a month plus a 1% booking fee and Pro from $179 a month, which adds phone support, an onboarding specialist and competitor rate intelligence. It ranks third because it is aimed at properties under 20 rooms and lacks the group, event and multi-outlet depth of the leaders. For a 12-room inn, that simplicity is the point.
