I stayed 2 nights at a hotel for a rate of 97 a night. I never make reservations through 3rd party, but it was an emergency trip and didn't look as carefully as I might have. These fees for a 2 night stay were calculated at a rate of 108.27. I would not make a reservation through this site. Their service charge is excessive. I did call about this and hoped that they would "do the right thing" and correct this. It would have made a difference in this review, but after being on the phone with them, primarily on hold, for 25 minutes I was told politely that there was no good will gesture that they could make. I was polite and patient throughout, but found that this business really only cares about their exorbitant profits. After spending time with customer service, I was very clear that I would leave an uncomplimentary review. They did nothing. Then I posted it, and my problem became interesting to them. They contacted me and refunded half of my fee. The total fee exceeded the cost for 1 night on a 2 night stay. It might have made a difference if I hadn't had to work so hard, only to be told "no." But as it was, half was still more than half of one night's stay on 2 nights. Thanks for trying, GAR, but too little too late. I know how much I would have paid the hotel directly because both the property and GAR charged me. The hotel charged 214.02 and GAR charged 326.27. Not really much in the way of savings, even with a $54 refund, but thanks for trying.

Hidden cost
January 31, 2018

I was not given information about the $39 charge per room for your services. I did not know about it until I received the email with my confirmation information. You should be up front about a charge for your services. Came as a shocking surprise.

Great Price
January 31, 2018

Booked a room for 35% percent less than any of the other hotel booking sites. Haven't actually gone on the trip yet, so no comment about the actual hotel. But the price was great.

Minister of Music

I was told after saying that I wanted hotel accommodations at The Hampton Inn and Suites in Monroe that there was no availability. Accommodations were made at the Best Western. Later that day I decided to call the Hampton myself and found that there were accommodations. I then had to go through the entire process of making new arrangements and cancelling the ones with Best Western. What would have happened had I not allowed for the rooms to be cancelled.

Not so scary after all
January 31, 2018

I was super scared booking with a company besides the big name brands. The hotel my group was staying in was sold out but this site said they had some availability. I am back from my trip and everything was smooth. I will definitely look at this site for future vacations. Best risk I've taken in a while. :)

Too many Hidden costs
February 6, 2018

The advertised price is not the price paid. Stinks of sharp practice and will try and avoid using them again

Amount charged not fully refundable
February 6, 2018

Generally when you reserve a hotel you dont get charged until you check out, and if it says fully refundable, its fully refundable. This site charges your CC right away and if you need a refund, their ridiculous fees arent included in that equation. If I had known this, I would not have booked through them. This info was not mentioned at the forefront in any obvious way. More transparency needs to happen.

I booked through TripAdvisor, but the follow-through seems unpolished and unprofessional. If I want to modify the reservation, I have to contact the property, I can't do it via internet (even though there's a 'modify' link in the email, once you get to the webpage you can't modify it.) I needed to book 2 more rooms at the same property and chose to go via PriceLine instead, as it seems more professional and less apt to have bugs.

Rome hotel search!
January 26, 2018

Was searching for a hotel near the colosseum that I had stayed in and fell in love with another but could not book it online. I called and resolved the problem with a super customer service rep I believe his name was Gabriel?
We also solved another problem and service was 5 stars. Thank you. Looking forward to my trip in June.

Easiest reservation I've ever made!

Everything about this reservation was super easy. Click, click done. Less than 5 minutes. I was able to select all the important info needed, enter my card information and, voila! No phone time necessary.
