Room View provides a description of the hotel room's view, such as beach front, mountain view, or courtyard view.
Room View options are returned by some hotel suppliers as part of the room rate information. Many suppliers return Room View information as free text. However, depending on the supplier and provider, Room View information may be returned as an OTA-standard Room View code. Depending on the supplier, Room View data for a specific room rate may be returned as text, code, or both text and code.
