TravelUp Reviews Summary

The company demonstrates a mixed reputation, with notable strengths in the ease of the booking process and competitive pricing, which many customers found straightforward and efficient. However, significant concerns arise around customer service, particularly regarding unresponsive support, issues with reservation confirmations, and difficulties in modifying bookings. Instances of billing discrepancies and perceived bait-and-switch tactics have contributed to a growing sentiment of frustration among users. While some customers report positive interactions with staff, the overall trend indicates a need for improved communication and reliability to enhance customer trust and satisfaction.

My husband and I traveled from upstate New York to North Carolina and stayed at the SureStay Plus Hotel in Fayetteville. The hotel was very nice and clean. Staff and guest were very welcoming and there to assist. The front desk staff was extremely helpful and their dedication to make sure that my husband and I was good is the key thing that will make us stay at that hotel again. I strongly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to North Carolina. 5 stars is all I can rate but they deserve and 11 for going above and beyond!

My experience with TravelUp left me unwilling to use the site again. I had difficulty checking into the hotel. The pdf that was sent was not helpful. The hotel had challenges connecting my reservation and my payment. At the end of my stay I was charged $270 by the hotel that could not be refunded. I will not use this site again.

Good morning,

We are sorry to hear about your experience with Travel Up.

This is a tough one, and we’re very sorry that you had this unfortunate experience.

We can’t speak for the specific situation but in general, our inventory changes daily as fares are dynamic in nature and the fare you were expecting got sold at the time of your conversation with our representative, hence you were offered a new fare as per current availability.

We hope you’ll give us another chance in the future to assist you better.

Regards,

Updated review

When we arrived at the hotel we were told that they do not allow pets. The booking said the hotel was pet friendly and I noted that we had a dog in comments. The hotel had cancelled our reservation without you or them telling us. It is a support animal. Created a problem in that our daughter and dog could not stay with us. Unacceptable practice! Very disappointed. Will go direct to hotel in future.
