Katherine went above and beyond to help me get my reservations fixed as we're part of a wedding party in our hotel room was booked for the wrong day. Thank you, Katherine.
Awesome, the hotel I originally called for wasn't available in the price range I wanted. I told him my price range and he literally found one right next-door at a very nice place in the price range. I needed excellent person. Awesome. You help me out tremendously.
I had a professional experience while booking the Adero hotel. Efficient, and surprisingly quick, I was booked and on my way. Well done.
Called for my annual family Christmas night in downtown St Pete. Ed was very helpful and was able to secure my reservations for 2 rooms close by. I always appreciate great customer service, Thank you
Alex was soooo very good and helpful after my VERY frustrating experience trying to make a reservation online. The only thing worthwhile online was the telephone number to call for help!
I asked you if there was a cancellation fee you said no as long as it is cancel before 11/14 but the email says there is a fee. You started with $518 charged my credit card and then put in 2nd charge for $552. This is not right
This company is a complete and total SCAM. They fail to make reservations, refuse to provide refunds after cancellations where no money was provided to the hotel. Do NOT use them! Customer service reads scripts to drag you along and keep you from speaking to anyone in authority.
Claimed they couldn't get in contact with the hotel. Every time I called the hotel they answered within 15 seconds. Finally I put BookOnline on hold and conferenced in the Hotel to verify my reservation was cancelled and no funds had been received. Still nothing. NEVER use this company.
Loving to experience customer service of the past still exists. Shahira was patient and willing to help secure the best deal for us. Her demeanor is excellent! Thank you Shahira!
Julio was a wonderful representative. He was helpful and patient and kind; all qualities that help to create a positive user experience.
When the hotel I wanted was fully booked, Mark was able to talk me off the edge and found me a room that was still close to my event and safe for a single female traveler. Great job Mark!
Great and very relaxing.
Michelle was awesome! I called looking for a room and I was indecisive about the location due to knowing what I was looking for but unsure of exactly where it was. I changed location on her 3 times but she was still polite, professional and very patient.She got me where I needed to be.
I believe my agent was Marc Anthony. He was very helpful and patient with me and my needs for this trip. He was very knowledgeable about his job and willing to use his resources to help me. So refreshing to work with someone who enjoys his job and passes along joy.
We were told a king bed. Not true. We were told a restaurant and bar on premises not true. Had to go to the adjacent restaurant which we didnt have proper clothing to wear. Driving for days in same attire. Unhappy with this experience.
Kimberly assisted me with request and was very helpful as I made my call while in my car. Everything worked easily and she even was helpful with info regarding my dog staying with us.
Marco was very helpful and understanding. The hotel I wanted to reside in was at a higher rate for the group I was a part of. He asked where my group was staying and meeting. He asked where our meeting was held. He found another closer to my meeting.
Thank you Marco!
Kerri was amazing - she was friendly, accommodating and efficient. She was able to book our last minute trip to Universal Studios efficiently while being very friendly. I'd recommend the hotel because of my experience with Kerri.
We were moving to FL with our cat. When it came time to leave the room in the a.m., we could not find our cat. We looked high and low, so we thought she ran out the door as we were loading our car. Nothing to do but leave! 3 hrs down the road we got a call from the manager, Mr B, who said they found the cat in the room. Mr B caught the cat and put her in a crate, waiting for us to come back to get her. The cat was not kind to Mr B. But he continued his quest to keep her safe. How can you have better staff than this... going beyond the norm!
Salvador helped me book six rooms at the last minute. He was very competent, patient, kind and professional. Thank you Sal for helping out with a very stressful event.
Alan helped me get a room very last minute on a nearly sold out weekend all city wide. He completely made my trip able to happen!
Answer: SCAM. Huge Fees, no refunds. Would NOT recommend. Do yourself a favor and Pass by when you see this site.
Answer: Agreed! WHY? Absolutely the most blatantly deceptive company I have ever come across.
Answer: I'd love the answer to this! This agency fraudulently charged us $1800!
Answer: Make sure you are booking directly on the hotel's website.
Answer: I was just too tired to drive 90 minutes home. I needed to be back to this area really early in the morning, so I saved 3 hours of driving time and got a good night's sleep also!
