You can get a room cheaper by going directly to the Hotel. We used them this past weekend not knowing who they were. They will charge you and exhorbant fee rate and taxes that will make the price higher than it would be if you call the hotel... we thought we were getting the hotel.
I called Holiday inn reservations to ask a question inregards to payment. Agent answer phone with Holiday Inn Reservations, Asked the question was told the rate would be 118.00. I told him I saw a rate of 111.00 for club memeber did he want my number. He informed me i was getting a 15% rate already, I the proceeded to book the room. Arrived at hotel was told I booked with a third party, and that my room rate was 112.00. I was charged 162.47 not even close to the 118.00 I was quoted. The Holiday Inn representative must be aware of this scam, she just kept repeating you booked with a third party. I have contested these charges, I authorized hoilday inn to charge my card not get a room. Joe F.

They have called to make it right for me and credited me. My earlier bad review has been righted. I now have a very respectable price and am happy with their service! It's nice to see companies that. Want to right their wrongs. Thank you!
I called to place a reservation. I spoke with JAKE. When inquiring about the address and it's proximity to my destination. He sent an email with the address. This made the reservation. The hotel was 2 hrs from my destination. I wanted to cancel. JAKE said it would be best to make another reservation, in order to be certain to get a refund on the initial reservation. I trusted what he said. BIG MISTAKE! So, I made another reservation. He transferred me to ELLEN in customer service. She canceled the 1st reservation (so I was told). This all occurred during my the same phone call.
After that I spoke to a REN, JOSIE and ultimately received an email from STEPHANIE CORDOVA Stating, "Reservation CANNOT Be REFUNDED."
It's Criminal what they are doing at getaroom. I basically paid for 2 rooms, for the same night, in 2 different cities. This should Never have occurred. I kept hearing their "Hotel Partner " is not responding, system is down, it's the weekend and not normal business hours... I've come to find out the hotel partner is Hotel Beds Direct Connect, location in Spain. Also Criminals.
I'd recommend calling the hotel directly. Never call this getaroom and/or hotel beds direct connect, EVER!

Hi Camilo,
Thank you for the great feedback! We appreciate it. Have a nice trip.

This company is a complete scam. I wanted to book a one night stay in Denver, CO for my unit's Marine Corps Birthday Ball. I searched for the hotel website and found an ad sponsored website that showed the hotel's name in the URL. After clicking on this link I was taken to a website I thought was the hotel's website. When I clicked on the room I wanted I was taken to getaroom.com, which I thought was a website contracted by the hotel to handle their booking. The price for the room was listed as $119 for a single king size bed. I clicked on the book now button and was taken to a page which stated their no refund no cancellation policy and then asked for my credit card information. I gave it and clicked submit. I then was taken to the summary page saying my card was charged $210.02! I want to make it clear, no where during this process was the total amount of what was being charged displayed!
I looked at my confirmation email which showed I was charged $148.75 for the room and $61.27 on "tax recovery charges and service fees" (again, this was not displayed to me prior to purchasing the room). I then went back to the website and hit the back button to the page I saw the room. The room literally changed prices before my eyes from $119 to $148.
I immediately called customer service to ask for a refund. I was told repeatedly by a very rude female that she could only give me a 10% inconvenience fee refund but could not refund the money because of their policy. I repeatedly asked for a manager but was told "they are with another customer" and they were "just going to tell me the same thing". They refused to transfer me to the manager until I threatened to report this charge as fraudulent with my credit card company. I was then told I would be transferred to a "specialist" who could assist me. After sitting for a further 33 minutes on hold, I heard an automatic recording state, "this number is not a working number". DO NOT USE THESE A**HOLES!

I made a mistake with the dates I was sure I put them in right but the dates came up wrong for entering and exiting. I called them as soon as I saw the mistake. They refused to fix the dates. So I now can not enter our room on the date needed and will have to pay for a day we will not use the room.

Very satisfied with this online booking; we got the room we wanted on the day we wanted for a great price.
Thank you for the great feedback! We appreciate it.

We had a very good stay. The people were very nice and the room was nice and clean. They even had a shuttle for us to the concert.
Hi Greg,

I hate when companies sneakily do this; then they get hacked & my CC gets compromised!
Some how these over inflated, scheming thieves manage to delude you into thinking you are actually using the hotels own website... no, no, no! Not only are their prices above those of the hotel itself, they add a further £120+ to your booking for "taxes and 3rd party charges". Tried to call and explain I didn't want the room at those prices as could book cheaper with the actual hotel, to be told the cancellation policy was that I would be charged the entire amount of the booking (needless to say I now have no alternative but to stay at this hotel at overinflated price). Really not happy, they couldn't give a toss once you've purchased from them. I feel that their tactics are very poor and underhand. Would urge people to avoid like the plague!

Thank you for the prompt service, rooms where going quick. Due to the fast service I was pleased to be able to make my reservation.
I had service issues with website. I have subsequently worked with Carrie from Get a Room. She was extremely kind and professional. Unfortunately all the issues could not be fully resolved however the best outcome possible was attained.

I booked a hotel for a certain date. When I got o the checkout it changed my dates. I confirmed the hotel and then realized the dates were incorrect. Sitejabber called me and after I explained what happened I was given a refund. Very pleasant customer service.
Had to cancel a booking that said full refund. There was a part refund made and a charge left on my credit card $154.21
Contacted Getaroom support, they made lots of excuses as to why this charge was made but in the long run there is no FULL refund. I booked aCanadian Hotel with Canadian funds but they converted my funds into a foreign currency. When I called the Hotel day's later to check my reservation I was told cannot take bookings at this time as we have not set Rates for 2020?... so that's why I canceled
Hello Royston,

Booked a room a week in advance, then needed to cancel hours later - same day. They charged me full price for the Hotel room - fine print! Lol! No principles so I reversed my cancellation as I decided to use the room-nope can't room is cancelled.
No principles, shoddy, careless and fraudulent - stay away!

I had to call last week to make some changes to my reservation and my experience then was NOT great. However, due to my husband working out of town we had to cancel our reservations. The gentleman who helped me this time was great and business was completed quickly.
Do not care for customers miss sold a room wrong data and would not change even after two phone calls

I initially was struggling, I made my reservation for the wrong day, and the reversion was a non-refundable one. I was freaking out, but customer service worked with me, the hotel, and was able to get my reservation moved to the correct day, saving my trip... I am SO relieved!

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.
