They disguise the site URL to look like the direct hotel website in Google search. It wasn't until I saw the $150+ "tax and recovery fee" on a $214 reservation that I realized something was off. By then I'd already booked. I canceled the reservation, but the site isn't clear on whether or not they refund the exorbitant fees. For comparison, booking directly on Marriott had $34 in government taxes and fees. Bookonline.com is crazy.
Tip for consumers:
Don't. Just don't. Book anywhere else - directly with the hotel, Priceline, Booking.com, Truvago, Kayak - anywhere else.

There's no real experience to speak of in that I never made it to Pensacola. Making arrangements was a breeze, though my time on the phone ran short.

The price they advertised was 59.00 but it costs 129.00 plus 52.00 because "looks like someone just grabbed the last $59.00 room"
