By far the worst hotel site on the web, book a smoking kind bed room at hollywood florida, then when i got there i was told that the hotel is a non smoking hotel. Called the company and ask to be moved to another hotel they charged me again and promised to return the credit onto my card. They never did, i've called them 4 times and they say the same thing, it is being processed. Tomorrow I will call my bank and place a claim on them.
GETAROOM.COM PRACTICES FALSE ADVERTISING AND FRAUDULENT ROOM RATES!
On their site, they quoted a package rate at a hotel that included 2 nts' stay free at $202.14/nt. When I received the confirmation, the deductions had not been made. I called them immediately to tell them and the reservationist told me that the price shown per night was just an "average per nite". With the deductions, the cost was $283/nt x 5 nts - which equalled the cost of 7 nts@ $202.14/nt! Where was the savings in that?
Neither the guy I spoke with nor his manager would budge on the cost, telling me I had confirmed it and there was nothing more I could do. Furthermore, the manager said that I should have reviewed the avg night cost before confirming. No such thing was shown on their site, or it would have raised a red flag if I had seen it.
In any case, I promptly cancelled the entire booking. I guess Getaroom.com would prefer to lose $1400 over $400 they should have discounted me because of their FALSE ADVERTISING.
Beware, fellow travelers! Stay far away from Getaroom.com!
Absolutely awful customer service. Tried to book a room and when I hit enter, it said System error, please call or try your reservation again later. I waited a bit, tried again. Closed the browser and started from scratch, still got an error message. I didnt want to call, defeats the purpose of booking online! So I gave up and booked thru AAA for a little more. Now I look at my credit card and its been charged 4 times. Now spent an hour on the phone trying to get this worked out. Customer service rep was rude, after explaining the situation he asked what the reservation number was?- again repeated it NEVER went thru. He then argued with me that I must have hit enter multiple times- I said yes I did, the error message said try again!
Horrible! Accidentally booked the wrong day, through Kayak android application. Immediately called to change the date and was met with the worst customer service ever. No help, rude, would not do anything to help. Would not refund my credit card either. Would just blame me. Never use this site, do not use through Kayak, in fact don't use kayak... from now on will only ever call the hotel or go to the hotel website.
Just booked a room for the end of September at the Bourbon Orleans Hotel in New Orleans thru agent Marcia who was charming, efficient and very helpful. Actually, 5 other friends have also booked thru Getaroom.com for that weekend so I certainly hope the rest of the experience will be as good as booking with Marcia was. If not I will certainly post it here.
My booking in Russia seemed to go well -I was able to reserve at the hotel I had researched and wanted at a great price. Luckily, I double checked with the hotel before going - because the hotel reservation I had paid for in full was actually NOT the one that getaroom.com had confirmed - they told me they had a computer glitch and so they had booked me at a DIFFERENT HOTEL. One that I would not have picked, as it was not as nice and not in as good a location. And if I had not checked, I would have arrived at the hotel I thought I had booked with my booking confirmation in hand, and they would have turned me away. The saga goes on and on after this, but the bottom line is that I would recommend being very wary about using this company to book a room.
They were a disaster. We booked a room in Taos NM, but when we got to the hotel, we had no reservation and they told us the reservation number we had wasn't even one of their numbers. And they were sold out! When we got back, we found out that somehow our reservation was at another hotel in the same chain, but that couldn't have been our doing because getaroom.com gave us the address. We wouldn't have known any other place to go. When we tried to get a refund, we were told it was "company policy" at getaroom.com for us to have to do the leg work, to call the hotel and to get them to send a letter saying they wouldn't charge getaroom.com for the reservation. The hotel people thought this was nutty, but did it for us. When we sent the letter to getaroom.com, they didn't like it and wanted it worded differently. That same day, we got a call, six weeks after our original stay, saying a refund was being processed to our credit card but it might take as long as 60 days to show up. We're waiting to see what happens.
This is a scam. There will be NO rebate. I have called 7 times and spoke to 7 people and after 3 months all they say is "we see you are owed a rebate and we have escalated it". Imagine hearing that line 7 times. I have given up on this $25 rebate. Don't fall for their scam. I found there coupon in entertainment 2012 book. I will let them know not to allow getaroom in there next years book.
Quick prompt accurate and courteous service by my agent Mike! Booking this trip has been such a nightmare, but this last and final step was so seamless. I am so glad I called and booked through this site! I will now always book via getaroom.com!
I have had an absolutely HORRIBLE experience with Getaroom.com and would recommend this site to NO ONE. What ever you do STAY AWAY! When we arrived at the hotel they were full and said that they had contacted getaroom.com and that we would be fully refunded. After countless phone calls I have yet to receive the refund and now its been two whole months! They said that it takes up to ONE month to be refunded! This company is just aweful and if you're smart you will book your hotel from any other website! Just wanted to warn people about this fraudulent company..
The representative that I spoke with was so friendly that I felt like taking a trip to Texas just to visit her. The hotel in Times Square was just as described. Nothing special but clean with a perfect location. I will be using this site again. Thanks
I used the web and got a great price on a room in LA. There were not issue with that reservation. I then tried the number to call to get an even lower price. I was told I would save $25 off the published rate, which as actually the same rate offered directly by the hotel. I booked. No $25. I have called several times to complain but gave up as I was so annoyed. It felt like fraud. I haven't yet stayed using this reservation. Hope there are no issues as I hate calling these people. Well trained to pay no attention, or at least that is how it feels.
I travel a ton but will never use them again. Worse web experience with travel that I have encountered.
Booking a room with getaroom.com was a huge mistake, You wont get a room clean, No maid service because i book from this getaroom.com company. The hotel was told. This is terrible vacation if you book getaroom.com
Last minute surprise getaway with the wife was a COMPLETE success, largely in part to Get-a-room and their great service. Got a screaming deal on a Top 10 romantic hotel in Downtown Denver and saved over $100. Boom! Who's the winner? That's right, I am.
Get A room was great, but I was glad tok my hotel onfirmation with me as they did not have my tion when I got there. I do not know if thistels fault or getaroom. I did get a room tere but the lady at te desk was not fam wth the third party reservation of getaroom o she charged mt credit arn. It was late and I was tired so I just saidWATEVER" after my credit card bill came in I contacted getarmwho was VERY nice and informatie. All is well and I was only charged once. Will use again if needed. ANOTHER THING WAS THAT ts $73 and I wound up paying 91 but was still cer. Oh well live and learn.
I had the best experience with Getaroom.com because of Lori in customer service. She was great. I was on my way to Austin and hadn't made a reservation. I heard the commercial on the radio and called. She helped me find a fantastic room at the Lakeway Resort and Spa. She was friendly, knowledgeable about the property. It was a great experience and I will definitely use them again.
Found the cheapest rate online for a one night stay in a hotel near my condo. About a week later I found the same offer for about $15 less on getaroom.com. I called the number and was able to cancel my previous reservation without penalty and re-book at the lower rate. This might not work the closer to your reservation. They had a clearly stated no refund for cancellations within 72 hours of reservation. Overall a good experience.
I had a very positive experience with getaroom.com. I had to call them to process my order and Jeremy Wilson gave us an even better rate on our rooms! He was very nice and when my debit card wouldn't process due to a maximum that can be spent on it a day he was very patient and kind.
Excellent price late in the day. Room was as advertised. Telephone reservations agent was polite and knowledgeable. I have used this service twice and would certainly use it again.
Answer: They are not ethical. For me, they used a website that appeared to be the actual hotel website, did not identify themselves when they should have, and did not mention booking fees while they charged a 30 percent booking fee for a room that was its normal price. They were supposed to cancel charges on my credit card and did not. STAY AWAY!
Answer: They are a site attached to Trip Advisor---- if you see them on screen while trying to book a room-- hit cancel. I'm out over $150 because of their fraudulent cancellation policy.
Answer: Thought I was booking on the actual hotel sight but was deceived in as much as it was Getaroom. Talked to someone else also staying at this hotel at the same for about a third less. Called them right back and had already charged my card and it would be up to 3 weeks to refund. That's about what it took but did get refund. Then checked reviews and no one had anything good to say about getaroom. Go straight to hotel sight of one you know and trust or stick with something like Travelocity.
Answer: I'm definitely in. There's something very deceptive, if not illegal, when you start off on a hotel's website and when you click Make a Reservation, it somehow transfers you to the GetARoom site without your knowledge. I had no idea this was done until I received their email confirmation. I'm thinking of contacting my state's Consumer Protection Div. Of the AG's Office to file a complaint when I get back from vacation.
Answer: Call 800-468-3578 but good luck. They are scammers
Answer: Wow. This is one bad company. Made a reservation and then needed to cancel. They gave cancel date all along. I called to cancel on that date and was told that date was only for 1 minute of date they told me. I was supposed to forfeit one night's cost. Luckily I made reservation on AMEX and they'll tell this fraud company to get lost. Moral of the story: make reservations through hotel.
