It sounds like a relatively straightforward algorithm of a type which has been used for decades, even if perhaps not for this particular task.
Indeed, the article fails to mention how AI will take into account all the “intangibles” (like, for example, off-reservation-system requests to have 2 rooms close to each other) when making the allocations. The article also mentions that the scope is limited to allocations made on the day of arrival.
