Choosing between ReservIT by ReservIT and SHR Central Reservation System (CRS) hinges on your hotel’s specific needs and operational scope. ReservIT aims to simplify booking management and distribution but currently lacks recent reviews and a strong user base, raising questions about its ongoing support and feature depth. SHR CRS, meanwhile, boasts a high review count, recent positive feedback, and a comprehensive array of integrated features. Which system will better serve your hotel’s growth?
Both products address reservation management, but their approaches diverge significantly. ReservIT offers a straightforward booking platform with minimal features, while SHR provides a robust, multi-channel distribution tool with extensive integrations and support. Are you seeking a simple reservation tool or a full-fledged distribution hub?
ReservIT is a smaller-scale, less reviewed option designed for hotels seeking minimal complexity in reservation management. It may appeal to boutique hotels or restaurants that prioritize basic booking functions without extensive integrations. Conversely, SHR CRS is better suited for hotels that need a centralized distribution system with multi-channel management and advanced revenue controls.
If your hotel requires a scalable, feature-rich platform that integrates with your existing tech stack, SHR CRS is the clear choice. If your team prefers a lightweight solution and your hotel operates in a niche market, ReservIT might suffice but offers limited evidence of ongoing development. Which profile aligns more with your hotel’s growth plans?
Based on available reviews, SHR CRS scores a 4.61/5 for ease of use, with users citing its intuitive interface and helpful onboarding. Its support team is highly rated at 4.76/5, and users frequently mention that the platform is reliable and well-supported, though some note navigation quirks that could improve.
ReservIT, however, has a zero rating in ease of use, and no recent reviews are available to confirm its usability. Given the lack of recent data, you should be cautious about assuming it offers the same user-friendly experience. Edge: SHR CRS.
SHR CRS provides 20 unique features, including reporting dashboards, guest profiles, booking engine, channel management, metasearch connectivity, and RMS integration. These allow managing distribution, content, and revenue strategies in one platform, offering significant operational control.
ReservIT offers no additional features beyond basic reservation management, lacking the extensive tools found in SHR. Its limited feature set makes it less suitable for hotels needing comprehensive distribution or revenue management capabilities. The clear edge is SHR CRS.
ReservIT’s customer support ratings are unavailable, making it impossible to assess its service quality. In contrast, SHR CRS scores highly at 4.76/5, with reviews praising its personalized, proactive support and talented team.
Recent reviews describe SHR as responsive and dependable, with a support team that helps hotels optimize their systems. This support level is critical for hotels relying on technology for daily operations. Edge: SHR CRS.
ReservIT has no verified integrations, limiting its ability to connect with other hotel management systems. SHR CRS, on the other hand, boasts 81 verified partners, including prominent PMS, RMS, CRM, and payment systems, with integrations like Criton, Priority Software, and Visual Matrix PMS.
This extensive partner network enables seamless data flow and operational efficiency, essential for larger or multi-property hotels. Clearly, SHR CRS leads in integration capability. Edge: SHR CRS.
With 49 recent reviews, SHR CRS enjoys a 4.77/5 overall rating, with high marks across ease of use, support, and value. Hotels of various segments, including boutique, resort, and branded properties, rate it highly, often citing its reliability and comprehensive features.
ReservIT has no recent reviews or ratings, making it impossible to gauge user satisfaction or compare the platforms. Given the recency and volume of SHR’s feedback, it’s the preferred choice. Edge: SHR CRS.
Pricing details for ReservIT are unavailable, and it does not offer a free trial or tiered pricing options. SHR CRS also does not specify pricing but emphasizes a straightforward approach with no implementation fees or monthly charges.
Without concrete pricing data, your decision should focus on value provided rather than cost alone. Both seem to operate on quote-based models, but SHR’s transparent approach and proven ROI make it easier to evaluate its worth.
Not ideal if your hotel plans to scale or expand distribution channels, or if you require detailed reporting and revenue management tools.
Not ideal if your hotel operates very locally or has limited technical support capacity, as the platform’s complexity might require dedicated staff.
The core difference lies in scope: SHR CRS is a comprehensive, integrated system designed for hotels that need more than just reservations. ReservIT offers a simple, potentially lightweight solution but lacks recent reviews, advanced features, and clear support data.
Choose ReservIT if your hotel is small, needs basic booking management, and prefers minimal complexity. Opt for SHR CRS if your hotel is larger, requires multi-channel distribution, and wants a system with proven support and extensive features.
For hotels seeking reliability, a broad feature set, and ongoing support, SHR CRS is the clear winner. Its recent reviews and high satisfaction scores confirm its value for growth-oriented properties.
This comprehensive comparison should guide your team toward a confident, informed decision aligned with your hotel’s operational needs and growth ambitions.

| Criteria Group | Weight | What It Measures |
|---|---|---|
| Customer Ratings & Reviews |
|
How highly do users recommend this product? Ratings Score, Review Volume, Share of Voice, Review Depth, Review Recency, Success Stories ▾ The most heavily weighted factor. Analyzes average satisfaction ratings (likelihood to recommend, ease of use, support, ROI), total review count relative to category peers, review recency (at least 20 reviews in the trailing 6 months), and share of voice across unique hotel clients to detect selection bias. |
| Partner Ecosystem |
|
How highly do tech partners recommend this company? Partner Recommendations, Integration Quantity, Integration Quality ▾ Evaluates partner recommendations as expert votes of confidence, the number of verified integrations, and ecosystem quality — the average HT Scores of integration partners. Products with higher-quality integration ecosystems are more likely to deliver a connected tech stack. |
| Customer Centricity |
|
How customer-centric is this organization? Certified Support, Review Consistency, Profile Completeness ▾ Assesses whether the company has earned HTR Customer Support Certification, maintains consistent review collection over time (an indicator of feedback-driven culture), and keeps product profiles complete with capabilities, screenshots, pricing, and features. |
| Reach, Staying Power & Resources |
|
How extensive is this company's reach and resourcing? Geographic Reach, Staying Power, Company Resources, Trending Score ▾ Measures global presence (countries and regions served), years in business as a stability proxy, team headcount as a resource proxy, and a trending score based on trailing-twelve-month buyer inquiries, reviews, partner recommendations, and press activity. |
Customer ratings and reviews are by far the most important factor in the HT Score algorithm. HTR does not accept payment for higher rankings. All reviews are verified — only hotel industry practitioners with confirmed affiliations can submit ratings. View full HT Score methodology →
