As stated in previous comments, my fees/taxes were almost $100 more than what I could have booked through the hotel. On top of that the hotel allows for cancellations and Bookonline.com does not. There was no breakdown of fees, so when I saw the bill later I thought there must be an error because the taxes and fees were over 75% of what my nightly rate was! The booking was $144/night and the taxes/fees were $108/night! Through Marriot directly the taxes/fees would have been $13/night at most. I've tried getting in touch with customer service several times, but keep getting the same robot generic response back. The only reason I'm writing a review here (First review I've written ever maybe) is because I've seen them respond to some of the poor reviews given here. I'd like to recover my almost $800 extra I spent on this 8 day booking. DON'T BOOK HERE. There are plenty of better options.

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.
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.
Was able to answer all my question and was very pleasant to work with!

Pleasant enough on the phone explained I travel with 2 dogs ok no problem. Quoted me a price that did not include pet fees. Also non refundable due too late booking. Arrived at said hotel and was quoted an extra 40 dollar pet deposit. Not impressed. Hotel is a fine establishment. Booking agent is a huge disappointment

I looked up the inn on line and called the number listed for best western. I thought i was booking directly with best western and found out you are a third party site. I paid $60 more than I would have paid booking directly with best western.

Corinne's service was excellent! The reason I believe this because of the way she explained the charges so that there wasn't any surprises. Also, her voice was pleasing and her telephone educate was perfect. I look forward to our star at your facility.

I reserved a three day stay at the Sonesta. Neal was my reservationist. Neal was efficient, knowledgeable and very helpful. He answered all of my question to my satisfaction. He was courteous and attentive to all my concerns. Neal is a valuable asset to the Sonesta family and should be acknowledged as such.

The reservation representative was very helpful, she explained everything very clearly. I could understand her, no weird accents that I had a hard time understanding. She also reviewed everything to make sure we were all on the same page. You need more representatives like her.

Listen-I work in hospitality. And people suck. A lot. Matthew was kind, so helpful, and had such a cheerful disposition. He put up with my crappy jokes. He deserves a raise for just that alone. He was super knowledgeable, charismatic, and KIND. I have just experienced a major loss, my best friend passed away. Do I want to go to Boston? No. No one is attractive or fashionable. But Matthew made my booking seamless and fun. He was so sweet. I hope every time I book through you guys it's with Matthew. Can you do that? Is there a way? Perhaps. Either way, this is a nice dude.
