I have a client who just needs a Drupal booking system for his hotel and integrate into ubercart. This seems like the perfect solution. Aside from Ubercart and UC_Hotel, a simple, out of the box, vanilla install of Drupal 7 would handle his needs.

However, he has about 200 rooms. Needs clients to be able to book online. As well, he needs all reporting to be done within this application via traditional Ubercart capabilities and integrate into Quickbooks.

I know I can achieve what I want with Drupal 6 perfectly, but my question (finally) is, will UC_Hotel 7, Ubercart 7, and D7 accomplish this? I know we're still polishing all modules, but if it's ready for a commercial application, I'd rather go with D7. The reason being is this client will want to market to multiple languages, and d7 is a bit better at that than d6, out of the box.

Thoughts? Thanks for your input,

Blue

Hi
It all depends on your level of php skills etc. I've used it on a live site that was taken offline (not because of this module but because the site owner had some legal issues). If you're comfortable with working through any issues with me and the Ubercart module maintainers (and the other upstream modules like rules, entity etc) via the issue queue and any debugging that's required - then yes it is ready.
If you're not comfortable working through issues/debugging etc then I'd wait a bit longer. There are a couple of unresolved issues that remain in the 7 version that I just haven't had spare time to look at. Whilst they don't stop it from working, they might spook an inexperienced user - see this list - the main one of these is the inability to remove a booking from the cart.

Thanks for the response. Intermediate php'er here, so no issues with a few bugs to work around. I'll install a 7 solution and report to the issue queue as needed to help work out these remaining bugs. Perhaps will post a link to the dev server when it's stable enough and anyone who's interested in this recipe can comment or point out things I may have missed to make it more efficient.

Thanks again,
Blue

Thanks mate, grab it from git if you can, instead of using the -dev.tar.gz - that will make it easy for you to roll a patch and even easier for you to pull new changes.
See the 'version control' tab of the project page for instructions on how to checkout the 7.x version.
