If you wish to remove certain room types that are showing on HotelTonight, contact your account manager directly. This should be done first before you update the room mapping in myallocator.
Unmapping in myallocator before HotelTonight has updated their room list could result in a possible overbooking due to the fact they are still showing room listing active on their public site.
