HotelRulesLookup @HotelDetailsReqd
By default, the Hotel Rules response returns both descriptive and rule information in all responses. However, a modifier was added to the Hotel Rules request to specify limited response data for Worldspan (1P) requests. Based on the requested attribute, either Rules (rates, taxes, etc.) or Property/Room Details (room descriptions, general policies, etc.) can be returned.
