We use the same app, and recently switched from a longer URL with "srrs" for "study room reservation system" (still its name) as a script path element to just "rooms.library.gwu.edu".  I don't think we've had much feedback one way or the other on the URL, but maybe it's a little easier to remember.  Looked like one big block of Xs of already-booked rooms this time last year at the old URL; pretty much looks exactly the same right now.

Fwiw we've found it to be a useful app - somewhere well north of 250,000 reservations over the past 5-6 semesters.
