Went to make reservations at Sleep Inn & ended up with Book Online. Was charged twice what was quoted. Contacted Book Online where I was informed of their NO Refund policy. Filed a claim against their fraudulent practices. Scammers.
Tip for consumers:
Avoid this site, it's a scam.

We tried booking at a Toronto hotel but there was no availability Joyce, in Reservations at the Canopy Hotel, was a terrific help. She checked throughout other establishments until we found what we were looking for. She saved us time, and was most pleasant and helpful! Thanks Joyce. Bruce and Susan McKie
1 star only because they dont allow negative stars. This company is operating with misleading and deceptive practices which are illegal in Australia. The only way to stop or limit there scam behaviour is to warn people. I made a booking with Bookonlie.com not realising they were an american website. They charged american $ for a booking in Australia for an Australian hotel. They also charged over $50 aus for insurance which I did not select. When I call and complained they chose to cancel my booking. I DID NOT ASK FOR THE BOOKING TO BE CANCELLED> So now i have lost over $600 and have no accomodation. Numerous calls to - yes you guessed it a Phillipino call centre - i have had no help. They tell me someone will call me back but it has now been over 2 weeks. The last call centre person tried to assure me they were a highly professional internal company. MMM you would wonder if this was correct why they would need to steal from people.
I spoke with Jamie. She was very friendly, pleasant, and showed concern in helping me to find what I was looking for in a hotel. She is good at what she does.

Very rude and unprofessional. I asked her to verify the address of hotel to ensure she was booking me at the correct hotel. She ignored my question and asked me what date I'd like to book for

Rose was very helpful in us securing a hotel late in the day. Our son had been injured and was in the hospital in Wisconsin. We had driven from Michigan and desperately need a room. Thank you.

The who took my reservations went above and beyond. Took my preferences and gave me the best advice. If my business needed customer service I would definitely hire her.

The lady that was helping me with my reservation was friendly, courteous, helpful, and happy. How many people do we talk to today that are happy? This lady was.

Representative could not provide me with information regarding medical price through medical center. Stated if they transferred me to front desk they would just send me back to him.

Booked thinking I was on hotels main site, got redirected here. Never got a confirmation email and realized it wasnt hotel site. Cancelled more than two weeks in advance and rebooked on the correct site. Trying to get a refund, and cant get ahold of anyone- only an automated machine.

I was looking for something specific and it was a longshot on being available. She did her best, even if what I was looking for was sold out. Maybe next time!

Was very clear with what room I was paying for and how much it would be.

I recently called to ask a question about a recent stay I had with JW Marriott, Buckhead, Atlanta
Instead of answering my question she did not speak. Next thing I knew I was transferred back to an automated voicemail.

I booked a hotel and less than 5 minutes later realized from the confirmation email that I booked for the wrong date and should have booked for 2 days later. I called and they said they would not refund me because of the hotel policies. I called the hotel and they told me that they did not have that policy and they couldn't help me with the reservation since I didn't book through them directly. This company refused to help me in any way. Even though I offered to pay a fee to change. They offered my $26 to use towards my next reservation with them. $26 for a date change request to two days later. Will never use this business again and will tell everyone I know about this experience.
Tip for consumers:
Buyer beware of third party sites and their refund/cancellation/modification policies. Read ALL of the fine print.
Products used:
Booked hotel directly with hotel.
