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.

Wrangling an economy room in Boise apparently is difficult due to large ongoing activity- Amber gave it a good try.

If your plans change they will not accommodate any changes. Make sure to read everything carefully, no refunds or credits are offered.
Tip for consumers:
Be very careful if you choose to use this service. They are not customer accommodators, the system takes your money quickly, but will not accommodate the customer if changes need to be made. They claim the system can't handle any changes to reservations or services that are paid for in advance.
