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!

I had a really great experience trying to book a last minute room at the Comfort Inn in Palm Dert California. The gentleman walked me through the entire process and with his help I was able to get it booked. Thank You!

I needed a room for myself for 4/2I - 23. I have other family members who will also be joining me during the same time period@ the same Hotel. Your patience and kindness was truly appreciated. The options you suggested were also helpful.

Rochelle booked me a room in a specific hotel that I was having difficulty booking myself online. She was not only able to book it, but double checked to make sure everything was correct and I was able to get a discounted rate. I appreciated Rochelle's great service.

My 5 year old grandson had to sleep on the floor because I was assured a sofa for him when I booked, and there was only a chair! For the price I paid, you would have thought something simple like a sofa would have been an easy task.

Brandon said that I was being charged $800 for the stay but $200 would be credited back after I check out. I asked him twice since I had also a browser pulled up in Best Western webpage and it was only charging me $600. I told him I'm fine to use the web browser since it is $200 less. I called twice and now I am not credited the $200. That's dishonest.

Michelle was so helpful! We honestly were not going to book at The W due to the first call we made the Customer service rep was rude and hung up on us! Michelle was amazing, very respectful and knows her job well!

Karen was great and so very helpful while we tried to find a hotel for a few days in the area. Appreciate that she was willing to take her time to find us just the right set up close to where we needed it and within our budget. She was very pleasant, very polite, very helpful and wonderful to work with. Thank you.

Paige was fabulous. Her skills & customer service far exceeded expectations. It was late and raining and a somewhat long & trying day. Paige is a bright spot of sunshine and we are grateful. Thanks so much.

I was convinced to make a reservation through this third party and my room had no AC on the first night. The hotel is willing to comp me for the first night but can't because my reservation was done through this third party. I have contacted them 3 times about this with no resolution. All I get is the run around. Very unprofessional will NEVER use them again.

My booking arrangements made with the help of Sonjanique were easy and quick. She was helpful, extremely personable, and so efficient. When my first choice didn't work out - she came up with alternates which were perfect. Thank you.

Neal was very helpful and friendly. We talked about the weather in Willits ( which is why we're booking a room….don't want to get stuck home because of snow as we start our vacation tomorrow!) also talked about weather in Boston! A very personable guy!

Caesar was friendly and helpful. Nice to hear a friendly voice on the other end. He was careful to make sure I understood the price of both rooms and said he would make a note about our early arrival. He didn't over-promise, " We'll do our best to accomodate to your situation."

Neal, was very professional, he spoke clearly and provided the details needed. He was so clear about what type of room I had reserved, price, dates and cancellation policy. I wish all representatives were as clear and helpful as he was.

Rude. I was transferred and not told I was going to be transferred. I have been trying for 30 minutes to get a copy of my folio with no success.
I am a diamond member and stay at Hilton properties several times a year. Our company employees stay at Hilton's over a 1,000 times annually - maybe we should switch to Marriott.

I thought I was too late to get in on a block of rooms reserved for an event, so I was provided with many cost effective alternatives that would still be well suited for what I needed. In the end there was still availability in the block and Edgar was able to provide a great room at a great rate.

Ms. Alicia did a fantastic job while assisting my wife and I in arranging our hotel stay on a last minute vacation getaway. Took the time to hear our request and locate the best priced hotel accommodations to meet our needs. One of the best experiences I have had in a very long time.

Barbara did an amazing job trying to find arrangements for the dates we were seeking to check-in. She was enthusiastic and did all she could to try and meet our needs. The days we selected for the Ritz were booked solid. Thank you for searching other nearby hotels. We appreciate your attention to detail.

Lauren was so polite and pleasant to work with on my reservation. She was so helpful to make sure I could get what I wanted and at a reasonable price. It was very important that I be close to a particular location and she gave me many options to choose from. Thank you Lauren.
