## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-03 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## Quick caveat on sources
> Almost every "top 10 hotel reservation system" page is vendor-owned or affiliate-driven - roommaster's list ranks roommaster, Amenitiz's ranks Amenitiz. Hotel Tech Report is the least bad because rankings come from verified hotelier reviews. So the ordering below is mine, by property type, which is the only thing that actually matters here.
> 
> ## If you're an independent hotel or small group (10-150 rooms)
> 
> 1. **Cloudbeds** - my default recommendation. One contract gets you PMS, booking engine, channel manager and revenue tools that are genuinely built together rather than acquired and bolted on. Roughly $200+/month depending on room count. Best balance of depth and not needing an IT person.
> 2. **Mews** - the strongest choice if guest experience and modern design matter to you, and the better pick for European properties or anyone wanting an open API and a real marketplace of integrations. Pricing lands above Cloudbeds, and the booking widgets with multi-currency/upsell are the standout piece.
> 3. **SiteMinder** - pick this when your problem is *distribution*, not operations. It's the biggest channel manager in the world and its booking engine converts well;
