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 had a lot of questions and she answered all with professionalism. She's DEFINITELY AN ASSET TO YOUR BUSINESS. HONESTLY I SAY PROMOTE HER ASAP. IT WAS AN HONOR DOING BUSINESS WITH HER.

They doubled the cost of our booking calling it booking fees. Our room was $93/night and they removed $198 from our account. Shame on Laquinta for using bookonline.com

Amanda's voice was wholesome. She was also thorough and knowledgeable. The only improvement that I would recommend is that she mention the potential cancelation fees before taking the credit card.
