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.
Called to inquire about hotel rates and assistance. While working the call we were hung up on. Not sure it was disconnected or what but a little disappointed.

Emily was professional throughout. Our 1st choice for lodging was fully booked, Emily did a search for us and found an available room in the same town, saving us considerable time. Cell service was spotty and Emily was patient during the call. Great service with great attitude is incredibly rare today. Emily was the best!

So I called to book a room and he tried to charge me 442 for two nights at 144 a night for a 2 bed non-suite hotel stay. I thought this was weird and he said it was because of "taxes and fees," but that he'd give me a "special discount" and bring it down to 400. I found this behavior extremely suspicious.

Thx Lauren!
