Room for booking page: In (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS->SET UP set Quantity=3 In (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS > DEPENDENCIES set "Requires Availability" = Room for channel

Leave all other settings set to the defaults.

Room for channel: In (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS->SET UP set Quantity=5 In (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS > SET UP set Sell Priority = hide (to hide from booking page) In (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS DEPENDENCIES set "Include Bookings" = Room for booking page
