TBD Room
What is a TBD room in hotel room blocks?
A room that is allocated within a room block (counted against committed inventory) but does not yet have a guest name assigned. TBD rooms are still guaranteed — the hotel holds the room even without a name attached. Guest names must be provided before the cutoff date. TBD rooms are common early in the planning process when organizations know they need the rooms but have not yet collected names from all departments or groups.
