We stayed 12/31/07-1/02/08. I booked through venere.com. When we checked in the clerk pulled up my name & saw that I had booked through the web-site she asked the other clerk what she needed to do. The clerk answered. I showed her my credit card but asked if I could pay with cash. She said yes & then asked the other clerk how to put that in the computer. She told me my total was $98.??. I showed her my e-mail confirmation because it said the total would be $288 w/o taxes. I wanted to make sure she had us down for two nights & two... read full review »

we went on line to try to find a place to stay for 1 night in Kissimmee, we had time sharing for 1 week which started the day after. My son was playing at the wide world of sports in the national basketball tournement. We booked the knights inn through expedia. I will never use expedia again, the place was a total dump. We could not believe that a company like expedia would have this plac e on their webite. We walked out and could not get our money back but there was no way we could stay there, I'm still in disbelief that expedia can do that to people. read full review »

I traveled on TAM airlines to Buenos Aires in end of May, 2009. They could not deliver my bag for one full week. I was on business trip and had no other choice than to buy basic essential clothing and toiletries. I ended up spending US $600. The bag was found and delivered to me on eighth day. I kept asking for the reimbursement for my expenses. But in vain. TAM is absolutely insensitive and puts forward the ridiculous baggage policy. Which offers US $50 if the baggage is not found for 3 days after arrival. Can you believe that? 3 days after... read full review »

In July 2009 I booked a Jetstar flight departing Melbourne at 1pm on 9 November 2009. This time would enable us to disembark from an international flight & have plenty of time to clear customs & immigration, collect baggage etc. jetstar have now changed the flight to 11.35am, which is too tight a connection. I requested a refund & they have refused on the grounds that they can alternatively offer us a 4pm flight, which is 3 hours or less from our original booking. Beware of jetstar - they deliberately offer a large menu of... read full review »

I made on line reservations for $90.00 per night based on photos and descriptions of the hotel. When I got there I was very disappointed. The room was filthy & it smelled + I did not feel secure leaving my car in the parking lot none the less staying there with my family due to the people loitering in the parking lot. I explained the situation with the desk clerk and he informed me that there is nothing that he can do about a refund. During all this a woman was checking in with a newspaper coupon for $15.00 less for the same type of room... read full review »

We pre-booked our room over the phone based on impressions we obtained from their web site. The site notes a private beach, a pool in a lush tropical garden, special ambience, signature service, describing the Inn as the "Jewel of the Pacific". Over the phone the rooms were described as being very nice with ocean views. Based on this description we had actually booked out of a very nice and less expensive hotel in Santa Barbara with the intent that we would splurge on our last night in Southern California and stay in the Jewel of the... read full review »

I had made reservations of the hotel using this above mentioned travel agency through internet. I was told many good thing about the booked hotel but I found nothing but dissatisfaction as it was not the way it was told. Once I arrived at the hotel on the day of my reservation my wife and I went to our room. The room was on a smoking floor in which we do not smoke. The TV was not working either. I called the front desk to let them known about the TV. I was told that someone would be up to look at it. After about forty minutes of waiting, I... read full review »

My husband and I stayed at the hotel, that we booked online because it was one of the only hotels available and the picture showed clean rooms and the services provided and the price per night were agreeable to us, also it was within walking distance to the boardwalk and hotel were other family members were staying. Upon arrival the hotel lobby was filthy. The main door was disgusting, the carpet was unclean and the lobby was dimly lit. We checked in and proceeded to our room. The glass door to the entrance of our floor was just as filthy a... read full review »

I would like to share my cent experience with the Suffolk Hall Hotel with others. I recently booked a room for 2 nights at the hotel over the telephone. I was not given any terms and conditions of the booking or told that I would be charged the full amount immediately. 10 days later I canceled my booking. I was told that they would "sort it out" for me. I did not receive any of the £180 back. I called the hotel to ask why and was told that the fund had gone through and it may take a few days. 2 weeks later - still no fund. I wa... read full review »

I am totally disabled and require a service dog. I always carry a letter with me from my Doctor that certifies my dog is a service animal. I approached the front desk on the early evening and stated that I had a reservation. When the girl saw the dog she called the Manager to the desk. He advised me he was the Manager and that the hotel had a strict policy of no pets. I explained that my dog was not a pet - a service animal - and offered to show him medical documentation. He responded that he didn't need to look at any documentation... read full review »

I am a administrative support person for a large hotel. I received a suspicious-looking invoice from this company. Upon presenting it to the controller and director of sales, both said we had never purchased advertising space in anything by that name. The amount of the invoice was $349.50, and it had very few other details. When I called the number on the invoice to request a copy of the signed contract and copy of the advertisement, I received a grainy message stating, Thank you for calling Official Hotel and Resort Guide.

I am not able to understand what the club does? I took membership a few months back. I thought I will save money on travel. I went to Chicago (Michigan Ave) branch to inquire about Disney Vacation package. The lady had no idea if they even sell Disney Packages. She referred me to her boss. The boss said, I can not tell you the price right now, I will email you the details. In about 72 hours of this conversation, I received a quote from her. It was a copy-paste of the quote which I can get from Disneyworld.com Trust me, it was so... read full review »

After 2 months of fighting for a copy of an agreement and proof of what I was paying $799 for, I finally agreed to a lifetime to advertise my timeshare rental in Sept 2008. In December 2008, this company shut down the website, disconnected their phones and vacated their prior location. I had 3 people go to the site and try and rent my property. I never received a phone call about the inquiry and neither did any one else that called. In July of this year, which is when I was supposed to call to extend another year, I found the owner had... read full review »

If you get a call to come listen to an offer for a time share from a company in Pennsylvania selling time shares in Laurel Mountain resort and spa and they offer you money in gas ($300) and a 3 night vacation in any Marriott resort in the country and a 5 piece set of luggage and dinner for 2 at 3 restaurants of your choice from known national chain restaurants… It’s ALL a lie. DON’T GO! The restaurant meal is NOT dinner for 2, it’s $30 towards dinner. The gas which I called to confirm BEFORE I drove 3 hours to... read full review »

We wanted to look at a room before we booked, but the guy at the front desk wouldn't let us see, we booked a room anyways since we needed a hotel near to my aunt's place. We booked a double deluxe suite and on the day we went to check in we were surprised by the size of the room. It was the size of a small bathroom, they managed to fit 2 beds in there with barely any room to move about and they were charging Rs 4000 ( approx ) + taxes. Right then we decided to go get the best room available in the hotel, which is their executive... read full review »

We were unfortunate enough to not check the reviews thoroughly, when booking UNION SQUARE BACKPACKERS in sanfran USA), upon doing so we saw the horrific reviews, and cancelled our booking within the time, then when we contacted them to check they had received our cancellation and a very very rude person answered the phone(Clearly one of the 3 mentioned in all the bad reviews) I attempted to explain my situation, stating we'd heard nothing back, and asked that if the full cancellation fee would apply, as obviously then we would still take... read full review »

We went to this 90 minute sales pitch. Of course we were skeptical and really only wanted to get the "free stuff." Boy are we glad that we didn't fall into their spell! As others in this forum have mentioned they started out with a price of $9995 and went all the way down to $1895. That should be your first huge flag! Why would anyone invest that kind of money without being able to research the company? I sincerely caution anyone that is going to this sales pitch! If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a DUCK! read full review »

We checked into the hotel on Friday 14th August 2009. The room we were given was a disgusting excuse for a standard room, which was not only tiny, but also not very clean. When we asked for an upgrade, we were told that it would be impossible as there were no available rooms and the manageress was unavailable until the next day. We were told that a request would be left in the system for an upgrade and if anything became available, we would be informed. Needless to say, we were not. On Monday 17th August 2009, I received a phone call from... read full review »

This hotel is located in Oklahoma City, OK. It was the worst hotel that I have ever stayed at. For starters, the room had no toilet tissue since the property had depleted its supply. No housekeeping provided unless you staty a week, meaning you have to take out the trash yourself or leave it in the room. They would not provide clean towels again only if you stay a week. By far the worst hotel ever. read full review »

I recently booked a reservation through this website (it came up on my search engine for the area I was interested in). At the time I didn't notice the $4.99 site fee for booking through them (it was "buried" in the list of fees) and was surprised when I saw it on my cc statement. The thing that made me decide this site wasn't worth the visit much less the fee was that the hotel had no record of the the reservation. When I called trails.com to complain, the only response was they their website received an automated computer... read full review »

We booked a trip to New York City through Expedia. As an 81 year old computer novice somehow I double booked including Hampton Inn. Not where we will stay. Front desk manager Frank Cortese refuses to offer any relief for us. Probably he is following the RULES!. Most likely my own fault but we have saved for this trip for a long time and now if we have to pay for a room we won't use our trip is totally spoiled. He still has three weeks to rent the room and a little compassion would help us have a trip of our lifetime to New York City. Something we have dreamed about for some time. We may never have another chance considering our age. Bob Nelson read full review »
