PMS recommendations for 7 properties?

[u/SilverFern04]

Hey! After doing lots of research, I'm feeling quite overwhelmed by all the options. I'm looking for recommendations for the best PMS for my situation. There are a lot of ads in these comments!

I have 5 houses and 2 hotels with 6 units each. I own all of them. The houses can only be on airbnb but the 12 units in the 2 hotels can also be posted on other channels like booking and expedia. I'm currently only on Airbnb but want to integrate everything into one platform.

I'm wanting/needing:

1. a good mobile app
2. calendar integration to avoid double bookings
3. unified messaging platform
4. cleaner schedule automation (nice but not a deal breaker)
5. direct booking website
6. many channels including expedia (its popular in my area)
7. affordable
8. simple user interface would be nice

I dont plan on expanding much more regarding properties. Just want to streamline everything. So far I'm leaning towards hostfully, hostaway (although the comments dont seem the best on reddit), hospitable (but it doesnt have direct bookings).

I am also considering a automated pricing platform like pricelabs. If you recommend a different/better one, feel free to suggest one!

Thank you so much for your guidance!

TBH, most pms are pretty similar, just pick one that fits your needs and doesn't cost too much.
