Had to make a quick decision to book a room when a family member's flights were suddenly canceled late at night. Made the reservation in real time as the hours passed, and the news didn't look good. Prepaid the room, but she was finally atc2am, able to get the last of two seats available out later that morning. No hotel stay needed. Have been on hold to cancel these reservations for now almost 3 hours!

“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!”

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.

Brandon was very polite and super helpful and knew all the answers to my questions. I appreciated his kindness as it's very rare these days. He even laughed with me when i didn't know what the pound sign was on my phone, lol AND he didn't make me feel bad about it, it was funny. Thank you brandon.

My experience was horrible. Book a hotel with Best western Cypress Creek 7921 Lamar Pool, Biloxi, MS *******. Room305 was infested with bedbugs. Not only that I have not received a refund.

During my call I directly asked if this was fully refundable and he said yes if done before the 17th. I also asked if this person worked for the Hard Rock and he and yes. I did not realize I was talking with a third party. When I called to cancel an hour later I was told that they would keep 33% as indicated in the email that they sent after the call…In contrary to what I was told during the call. This is a scam. Beware.

The receptionist seemed incredibly distracted and communicated poorly. There was a lot of background noise on top of that, causing a frustrating phone call. Please support your staff better so they can dedicate attention to taking reservations in a professional manner.

My representative was extremely helpful, kind and courteous. She was very patient with me while I went through my needs for this booking reservation that I was booking for my boss. Customer Service is a lost art, but she nailed it! I really appreciate this because I am also in customer service for my career. Thank you!

I felt very confident in working with Patrick in trying to book my reservation for Parkwood Inn & Suites, Manhattan, KS. He indicated that there was no availability and he tried to find another location but that would not work for me for that date. Thanks
