DeskHarbor Hotels Midtown · Thursday evening
Incoming call from the Google Maps listingThe desk is checking in a group of twelve. Six rings. Without Desk: voicemail, and a traveler who books the next hotel on the list.

Desk picks up on the next ring, and if the caller hangs up first, a missed call text back goes out on WhatsApp within seconds.

FAQ

AI receptionist for hotels, answered.

What does an AI receptionist do for a hotel?

It answers calls and messages the moment they arrive, checks availability and rates for that property, holds and books the room, answers pre-arrival questions, and hands over to a person when it should. Desk does this on calls, WhatsApp, website chat, forms and Google Maps messages.

Does it replace the front desk?

No. It answers what the desk cannot: after hours, during check-in rushes, and on channels nobody watches. Anything that needs a person is handed over with the whole conversation.

Does it connect to our PMS and booking engine?

The common hotel systems connect in a day. Until then Desk holds the request, confirms the details and routes it to the desk.

Which languages does it speak?

It answers guests in the language they write or call in, and each property can set its own default.

Can guests tell it is not a person?

Desk introduces itself as the hotel's assistant, answers only from your information, and says so when it does not know. Guests can ask for a person at any time.

What does it cost?

A free plan covers website chat and forms for one property. Calls and WhatsApp are billed per conversation Desk handles, with no seats and no minimum.
