Description
Description:
In the Rooms view, after selecting a filter option, there is no clear way to return to the default unfiltered list (all rooms).
The filter UI should provide either a Clear filters action or an All rooms option.
Steps to reproduce:
- Go to the Rooms page/list.
- Open the room filters.
- Select any specific filter option.
- Try to return to the full list of all rooms.
Expected behavior:
Users should be able to easily reset filtering and return to all rooms, for example via:
- a Clear filters action, or
- an All rooms filter option.
Actual behavior:
After selecting a filter, there is no obvious way to reset back to the full all-rooms list from the filter UI.

Research direction
Start at the Rooms view and its filter component, then reproduce the missing reset behavior described in the issue. Trace how a selected room filter is applied and add either a Clear filters action or an All rooms option. Done means users can return to the complete room list from the filter UI, with the relevant frontend tests updated or added.
