Went to make reservations at Sleep Inn & ended up with Book Online. Was charged twice what was quoted. Contacted Book Online where I was informed of their NO Refund policy. Filed a claim against their fraudulent practices. Scammers.

Tip for consumers:
Avoid this site, it's a scam.

“Came to the rescue!”

Teri S.

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.

I can't speak highly enough about Jayne's assistance reserving a hotel for my family's trip to attend my doctoral graduation. From the moment I reached out for help, Jayne exhibited professionalism, efficiency, and kindness.

Planning such an essential trip amidst the chaos of graduation preparations could have been overwhelming, but Jayne made it a breeze. Her attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our accommodation was perfect, from the location to the amenities.

What truly sets Jayne apart is her genuine care for her clients. She took the time to understand my needs and preferences, ensuring that my family's stay would be comfortable and memorable. Her personalized approach made us feel valued and reassured.

Thanks to Jayne's expertise, I look forward to a stress-free experience allowing us to enjoy this momentous occasion fully. She is a consummate professional and a joy to work with.

Thank you, Jayne, for going above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable!

Warm regards,

Dawn was very helpful because my request was very specific (2 bedroom suite). She searched and searched until she found something and for that I am grateful.

The agent was horrible. She was not friendly or inviting, very direct in her questions. I inquired about a discount rate for employees and she said I could get that information at check in. I requested this information in advance of making the reservation and still declined to provide me with an answer, pressing me to make the reservation. When I told her I would not make the reservation without this information she hung up on me. Extremely rude and unprofessional

I asked you a question about check in time and you hung up or we lost connection and you didn't reach back out. I had to call back and get someone else to make my reservation.

Great service. Wonderful to speak with someone who spoke good English!

It was disappointing that my original room selection was not available….we didn't find out till we tried to pay. That was not Penny's fault.
