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.

I was charged twice the normal room rate, promised a gift I never received, and later found out I was speaking with someone from Bancock rather than NC! I will NEVER use this website again!

They pretend to be the hotel, be aware of them being a fraud.
If you book with them you lose your money.
