Do not use this site. We thought we were on the actual hotel's site but were not and were literally charged hundreds of dollars over the room rate and we an elles about two minutes after making the reservation. And our credit card company would not give us our money back

Tip for consumers:
Make sure you are on a legit honorable website before booking.

Products used:
We purchased directly through the hotel's actual website despite our unsuccessful attempt for a refund.

“Came to the rescue!”

Teri S.
10/2/24

My husband made a reservation months ago, but had issues when he arrived. They only had $1,200 a night suites available. While my husband was at registration trying to reserve a cheaper room, I called and spoke with Vanessa. She was able to book him a reservation for 3 nights at the Cosmopolitan. My hubby was able to walk over and check in immediately. After a long flight, finding a reasonably priced room was a relief.

“IT SHOULD BE A ZERO Star - DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE - IT'S A FAKE!”

Chris S.

I mistakenly booked a hotel room on this website and paid in full at the time of booking. When I checked out of the hotel 3 nights later I was told that my payment had not been received and that I needed to pay for my stay with another credit card. I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.
