agree  Björn Vrooman: Typically, capacity doesn't change by season; it's a max number. I suppose it's the fault of the speaker. What he really means is "shortage." (cf "begrenztes Angebot") Though, "limited availability" might work as well.

limited hotel capacity


Explanation:
"I request that you reconsider the issue; otherwise I’ll be compelled to cancel the entire reservation/booking for this hotel. That’s something I would prefer to avoid, considering Tokyo’s limited hotel capacity during this period."
