ROH Hotel Abbreviation

Run of House

"ROH" in the context of a hotel stands for "Run Of House." This is a specific type of room rate or booking where the guest is assigned any available room upon check-in, rather than a specific room type (like a standard king, double, or suite). The hotel guarantees a room, but the exact room type or location is at the hotel's discretion based on availability at the time of arrival.

Booking a "Run Of House" rate usually comes with a benefit: it's often a slightly lower or more flexible rate than booking a specific room category, as it gives the hotel maximum flexibility in managing its inventory. It's common for large groups or tour operators to book ROH rooms because their priority is securing a certain number of rooms for their attendees, and the exact room type is less critical. For the hotel, it helps optimize occupancy by allowing them to fill any vacant room without being restricted by specific category availability. Guests who book ROH should be prepared to accept any room that is offered, from a standard room to a potentially upgraded one if a higher category is the only one available.
