I booked three days stay (check in May 16, 2018, check out May 19, 2018) in Edward Hotel Chicago on May 1st, 2018 (Itinerary # **). On May 15th, my guest arrived one day early, and would stay in Chicago from May 15th to 17th. I called 800 number and talked to one of your associate to ask sifting the date in same hotel. She instructed me to book one night stay for May 15th. She then changed original booking to two days stay (check in on May 16th, check out on 18th). During my hotel booking process, changing the dates after booking, and the refund back, Reginette helped me step by step. All procedure went through smoothly. Thank you, Reginette!!

I booked a room for one night at the St.Louis Renaissance Airport Hotel in April 2018. The room was less than desirable. The comforter had several holes, the phone did not work, the tub was dirty, and the carpet was stained. I took pictures and made the front desk aware. I could not get refunded from the hotel since the hotel was booked and paid through HotelPlanner.com. After leaving the hotel, I contacted HotelPlanner.com and the runaround began. I am still waiting to find out why I was told that there was no approval to refund my money when I paid HotelPlanner.com directly. Who is not approving my refund?
I have contacted Reginette ** several times, I called the Marriott Corporate to complain about the rudeness at the Renaissance Hotel when I called to inquire about who would not give approval, since I had no idea what was happening. I am so disgusted with this company and I don't trust booking with them. It is June and I have not been refunded and continue to be dismissed as of today. I hate that I booked and paid for 2 more hotels for vacation prior to being treated with the utmost disrespect as a consumer. I will not use this company ever again. I hope the next 2 hotels are satisfactory.

Rennette was very professional and helpful when I called to book a room in Chicago, Illinois. She was very thorough in finding me a room 6 miles away from my conference area. She searched for the best price to fit my budget, she researched public transportation for me from airport to hotel and getting around in Chicago. She did it with such ease and being pleasant and had a lot of patience. Please help me in thanking Rennette.

I had to cancel our hotel reservation due to an unexpected medical emergency which occurred 1 day before we were scheduled to leave for vacation. Unfortunately, we missed the window to cancel our reservation without penalties. I contacted the escalation department and initiated a conversation with Reginette. I explained our situation and asked if she could consider not penalizing us for the entire amount of the reservation. We knew we missed the cancellation deadline but hoped she would consider the last minute emergency situation. Reginette was very understanding to our situation. She said she would look into whether she could help us out a bit with the penalty. She said she would look into this and get back to us within a day or two and she was true to her word.
We could not have been more satisfied with the kindness and consideration she showed us. She was so very nice and pleasant. We still plan to visit Texas and because of the assistance we received with Reginette we will most definitely be booking our reservation at the Hampton Inn & Suites in Waco. She is a wonderful reflection of your organization and I would recommend your hotel without hesitation. Many thanks to Reginette and your organization for all your kindness and consideration. It is truly appreciated.

I had very bad experience with HotelPlanner.com. Bad customer service with bad supervision. I spoke with more than 10 people to solve the issue. They connect me to each other till they connect me to Expedia who cannot help or do anything. I do not advice anyone to reserve or book through them.

Greetings,
Thank you for reaching out to us and we apologize to you for this inconvenience. I was able to follow up with my team and I do show that you booked two reservations using our services. One reservation booked through our affiliate Expedia was a refundable reservation as when you cancelled the reservation on the same day it was booked you were issued a refund for that reservation. The second reservation that you booked was a “Pay at Hotel” reservation and per the policy that you agreed to at the time of booking was a non-cancellable reservation and on your behalf our reservations agent did contact the hotel for a cancellation courtesy waiver for your reservation and the hotel did extend a cancellation waiver for your reservation and cancelled the booking directly on their end as we could not cancel it on our end due to the cancellation policy stipulation outlined in the policy. The hotel advised that they did not nor were they going to charge you for that reservation as the hotel was the billing party.Once again we do apologize to you for any inconvenience caused.
Kind regards,

I called the Hampton Inn to make a reservation and was told the hotel was full as we were making the reservation. Reginette helped me a book a two-week stay at the Days Inn at the government rate. My supervisor decided to save the government some money by having us come home instead of staying over the weekend. Trying to change my reservation was a whole bunch of heartache, Days Inn would not cooperate and they did not tell me that THEY canceled the original reservation when I called the day before to change it.
I got a new reservation but when I looked at it this morning it was not correct. I called Days Inn back and was told I had to call HotelPlanners to make any changes to my reservation... one they made the day before. So I call HotelPlanners and was told that there was no reservation or confirmation number in name. I called Days Inn back and we started over on a new reservation and they finally got it right.
Then they said that HotelPLanners was going to charge me for rooms too if I did not cancel with them. Reginette helped me get all this straightened out and I do have rooms for the two weeks, but lost my ground floor room in the process for the second week. If my reservation was not canceled how did I lose the room that I had reserved the day before? Days Inn will not be my go to next time I need a hotel, no one should have to go through all this calling back and forth. I work in customer service too and they have really bad customer service. Thank you Reginette for helping me through this.

I booked two rooms at the Marriott in Hunt Valley Maryland for a school reunion. My credit card was immediately billed for both rooms and then my friend was charged to her credit card when she arrived for her room. I called HotelPlanner to resolve this and then I was sent on an unnecessary paper chase. I have already spent an hour on this and it is not resolved. If you use HotelPlanner be aware your credit card will be charged immediately and you may be charged again at check in!!!
Updated on 05/08/2018: I am still trying to resolve this. HotelPlanner.com charged me for a room when I booked it and then the hotel charged my friend when she checked in. This was their error but they are requesting that I track down the paperwork. No reason they can't contact the hotel, confirm double billing, and refund my money. Ridiculous. Also, I have never heard of charging at booking time. Stay away from HotelPlanner.com!

Dear Laura,
Thank you for reaching out to us and we apologize to you for this inconvenience. I was able to follow up with my team and I do show that you were in contact with our reservation specialist in regards to the matter concerning your reservation who contacted the department on your behalf and the department did inform us that the hotel charged you in error.

HotelPlanner sincerely apologizes for the inconvenience as well. If you have any questions with this matter please let us know.

Planning my trip was easy, the rates I received were the most competitive I found, and the service was excellent. I had an issue with my hotel room, which the hotel staff and manager handled professionally. I was offered a partial refund which had to be processed through the third party to credit back to my account, and I honestly didn't think I would ever see that money. Within just a few days of outreaching to HotelPlanner, I received my refund. I will absolutely use the hotel planning services again.

If I could give zero stars I would. I booked my hotel with HotelPlanner.com for Holiday Inn and fully charged for the hotel. Upon my arrival to Holiday Inn I was advised that my reservation was cancelled and they gave my room away. After showing the hotel my reservation they were able to quickly clean a room (definitely not up to cleaning standards) and their management was not available. After my stay I contacted Holiday Inn directly and advised of my unsatisfactory experience. They were willing to reimburse me but since I booked through HotelPlanner.com I had to get it from them. My stay with Holiday Inn was on 2/23/18 and I called HotelPlanner.com on 3/1/18 to explain and that Holiday Inn reimbursed HotelPlanner.com the money. When I called the representative had a baby crying in the background, kept putting me on mute and then after I spent 10-15 minutes explaining the situation I had to email her the exact same thing.
She wouldn’t give me her last name or any type of reference number for the conversation for when I was to email my situation. I sent my email on 3/1/18 waited for a few days, no response. So I requested an update and something from a manager. Finally 4 days later an update. They were looking into it. I also emailed HotelPlanner.com my conversation with Holiday Inn. A couple more days go by no response, emailed again. Few days later same thing they are “looking into it”. As of 3/20/18 another false expectation from HotelPlanner.com. It now has almost been 2 months and Holiday Inn did their part of refunding the money back to HotelPlanner.com but not able to refund me. I have asked several times for an update and nothing, also requested to file a formal complaint and no opportunity to do so. EXTREMELY unsatisfied with their customer service and lack of ability to solve problems. I will never use them again or recommend them to anyone.

Greetings,
We appreciate the opportunity to review the guest concerns and apologize for any inconvenience experienced. At HotelPlanner we take pride in ensuring our customer's satisfaction and will work with our team to ensure a situation like this is not repeated.
The guest issue has been resolved as the hotel has finally provided our the billing department approval to issue a refund of (1 Night) back to the mutual guest and the refund was issued on Fri 4/27/2018 9:55 AM . In addition due to the inconvenience caused to the guest, HotelPlanner also provided them a voucher that they can utilize in the near future to book a reservation using our services.
Once again we do apologize to the guest for any inconvenience this may have caused them and we have also updated the guest via email as we were in contact with them prior to their review.

The large hotel groups often push their reservations to different booking websites. I thought I was making a reservation with the corporate office of American Inn which is owned by Wyndham. They assured me I had a 48 hour cancellation policy. Unbeknownst to me I was talking with hotelplanner.com. She assured me I had until Wed at 3 pm to cancel my reservation - so Tuesday when I called they told me I had a nonrefundable reservation and there was nothing I could do. Their agent was incredibly rude. The first woman had completely misled me. I am tired of these large hotel groups pushing their customers to these unreputable websites who will take advantage of people’s goodwill. It also gives Wyndham and American Inn a bad name which they don’t deserve. If a customer is “pushed” away to another booking agent they should have to tell the customer they are not talking to the Home hotel where the client would like to stay.

HotelPlanner.com is the best place to book hotel. I found the cheapest rate online and great customer service. When I accidentally booked a smoking room with a nonrefundable rate I called customer service and the guy was great who I spoke with.

HotelPlanner made duplicate reservations. Canceled the duplicate. Then canceled the original reservation leaving me on the day before my trip with no reservation. They blamed me for disputing the duplicate. Did not help me get a reservation and left me stranded with no place to stay. The person R. ** who allegedly was taking care of the situation didn't even pick up the phone or return my calls. April the supervisor would not help me with a new reservation, said I had to call the hotel on my own.
Later I found out that these scam companies all work together. I called the MGM Grand and was not talking to one of their representatives but rather an agent from Get-a-room.com who charged me over 3 times the rate of HotelPlanner. Only to find out that the confirmation came for the tripled priced room from no other than HotelPlanner. The same place that canceled my reservation, said they could not help me get another reservation, then under another name sent me a confirmation for the HIGHER priced hotel. I have asked their rep R. ** to stop contacting me but the witch continues to send me emails. I suppose I'll have no other option but to contact my attorney because she will not stop harassing me. Probably because I gave her the horrible review she deserved. BUYERS BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY AND ITS HIDDEN AFFILIATES.
Updated on 05/10/2018: Hotel planner wrote a reply and lied. They did cancel my reservation without permission and their employee kept sending me emails after I asked them to cease and desist writing me emails that had nothing to do with the situation and I regarded it as harassing. The reply implies that because they made a duplicate reservation somehow I was at fault... That's right HotelPlanner. Blame it on the customer who was paying you hundreds of dollars for a one night room... Then because your right hand didn't check with the left hand you canceled both the duplicate reservation and the original reservation === without any notification to me === your customer. Why didn't you at least send me a cancellation so that I would know that I had no room reservation for my travels almost 150 miles away. You never ever notified me... Great customer service not. You lie.

Greetings,
Thank you for taking the time to write a review and we are very sorry for your experience. Upon further review and investigation into your reservation we are able to determine that you had two reservations in the system and that you initially reached out to our reservations agent who assisted you in cancelling one of the duplicate reservations booked that was cancelled and refunded and you were notified.
You then later disputed the charges for the reservations after you had been assisted and per the procedures in place with the billing department – once a charge is contested by your financial institution the reservation is automatically cancelled in the system and at that point you would need to follow up with your financial institution for any further assistance in regards to your dispute.
Our agents DID NOT cancel your confirmed reservation – per your actions in disputing the charge with your financial institution your reservation was cancelled as that is the procedures that are in place. You were transferred to the reservations department that did assist you in rebooking another reservation and I do see that our agents were attempting to further assist you in regards to clarifying information for you and you requested that they no longer contact you at which point the contact was ceased.
We do apologize to you for any inconvenience caused but we DID NOT cancel your confirmed reservation in the system as the indirect actions of you contesting the charge with your financial institution resulted in the reservation being cancelled automatically per procedures in place.

On 3/22/18 I became aware of an Easter Sunrise Service scheduled for New Smyrna Beach & decided I'd try to make the trip from Locust Grove, GA. I immediately went to my employer's website and found the employee perks and made reservations for one night at the Holiday Inn Daytona Beach Speedway without checking with family members first. Unfortunately, the timing is not good for anyone in my family to go so I decided to cancel the reservations and learned I would NOT be refunded NOR could I change the reservation to another location or date. I'm disheartened that making an honest mistake cost me $150+ and nobody at HotelPlanner.com is willing to help.
I frequently travel but I'm never the one making the reservations and honestly had no idea when I made the reservation I would be charged the full price even in the event I needed to cancel. I feel sure it was a detail I overlooked at the time I was making the reservation because I was so excited about the possibility of attending an Easter Sunrise Service on the beach. I am absolutely positive I will NEVER consider making reservations through this company again and will be sure to share my experience with everyone I know. I'm not sure why anyone would make reservations they couldn't get a refund for if they had to cancel. Life happens to everyone and we never know when plans could change. I regret using HotelPlanner.com and hope I keep others from making the same mistake I made.

Greetings,
Thank you for reaching out to us via our review portal. We are able to verify and confirm that you booked your reservation on ((03/22/18 07:11 PM)) for your confirmed hotel and at the time of booking per the cancellation policy that you agreed to at the time of booking stated -
- Cancellation Policy: For the room type and rate that you've selected, you are not allowed to change or cancel your reservation. If you cancel your room, you will still be charged for the full reservation amount.o Please note that with the type of reservation that you booked cancellation and refund is at the hotels discretion as HotelPlanner cannot issue a refund to you without the approval of the hotel.
On your behalf we were able to contact the hotel and request a cancellation waiver for your reservation and the hotel did provide a one-time exception. As such your reservation has been cancelled and a full refund has been issued. You have also received an email from the billing department confirming the refund as well.
Please note that refunds do take between 3 – 7 business days to be allocated back to your account.

I tried for weeks to create hotel blocks for my destination wedding through Hotel Planner. I made inquiry after inquiry through their site never receiving a single response from any of the hotels that had supposedly was offering a block for my wedding. It was only after I contacted each hotel individually on my own outside of Hotel Planner that I realized that not a single one had offered a block through Hotel Planner or were even aware that I had tried to reach them through Hotel Planner to create a block.
Thankfully I was able to create a few blocks on my own with a few hotels. However when I canceled my search on Hotel Planner, they sent emails to some of hotels that I had created blocks with outside of the Hotel Planner system and told them to cancel any room blocks that were reserved in my name!!! I was absolutely floored! How does canceling the continuance of a search equate to my wanting to cancel existing blocks or my wedding??? Obviously I contacted my hotels and made sure that they didn't cancel my room blocks. All three hotels were very understanding and didn't cancel my rooms because they've seen such emails from Hotel Planner before.
In fact I was told by one manager that she gets emails from Hotel Planner trying to cancel blocks all the time, they're the only emails that she ever receives from them. And that she never takes them serious because they're always proven to be erroneous when she calls the owner of the block. Apparently those who work for Hotel Planner can get their nasty emails to hotel management but not the inquiries of customers. Anyway my advice is to stay away from Hotel Planner if you're trying to create a room block instead just contact hotels on your own. Thankfully I figured out the rouse in time. If you're creating blocks in a popular destination as I was then you risk the chance of figuring Hotel Planner out too late and then finding yourself out of time with no place for you or your guests to stay. HotelPlanner.com is a waste of time!!!

She went online and through HotelPlanner.com started to book an America's Best Value Inn in Vacaville, CA. She worked through the process and provided information including her credit card information. But when asked to confirm, she declined because we decided to look around. We ultimately decided to check in to the same motel (America's Best Value Inn) in Vacaville. When we checked in we were charged $56.95 for the room.
We provided a credit card (mine, not my wife's) to pay for it. When we got home, my wife found out that HER credit card had been debited $92.03 for the same room. This included a charge of $62.07 for the room and $29.96 for "Tax Recovery Charges and Service Fees." Not only were we overcharged for the room, but we ended up paying $30 more for it. When my wife called to protest the charge, she was told that her reservation had been confirmed and that she had in fact spoken to a live person to confirm it. I was sitting next to here during the whole process and I know she did not confirm the reservation. She also never spoke to a live person. So far hotelplanner.com has not refunded any money or responded to our complaint.

I was extremely dissatisfied with the individual I worked with when questioning my credit card bill. He was unempathetic and uncaring. It was brought to my attention that CCI (the company used to bill) charged $40 over the actual price the hotel. When I called to ask about it he couldn’t explain what happened and tried to tell me it was because I got “free” breakfast with the room. If I am being charged $40 then it’s not “free”. He basically told me I had no recourse. I thought the purpose of this site was to obtain the best price possible. Being charged $40 over what the regular room rate is was not something I expected. I will be sure to share this experience with family and friends to ensure they do not use this shady, unethical site.

I called Hotel Planner and spoke with a person who said his name was "Sammy". I informed him that I wanted to reserve a "suite" in the Chicago area. He described a place in Tinley Park, i.e. "Sleep Inn", as having "3" rooms, a living room, a full kitchen and a bedroom with a king sized bed. I accepted his description of this place as being real and true and reserved what I thought was a suite. When I arrived at this facility, I was immediately surprised to find that this place did not have suites, only single rooms. The hotel nice and clean, but no "suites". The payment for this reservation was processed through "cci*hotel@getaroom". I called this place back and ask if I could cancel this reservation. They told me no, but they would give me a 10% discount for the inconvenience they had caused me. That is why I am very dissatisfied.

Hi Emmanuel,
We appreciate the opportunity to review your concerns and apologize for this disappointing experience. Your concerns were escalated to the department handing your reservation for a full review and per the information communicated by the department handling your reservation they advised that you did call same arrival day, and as they could not change the room type on a same day reservation they offered 10% off your reservation with a refund in the amount $66.79 processed in January. As goodwill courtesy they are issuing an additional $25.00 refund.

The customer service with this site is atrocious. Their site is misleading and did not have all of the fees the resort had. Nowhere on the site during booking did it list the extra fees until AFTER it was already booked. I immediately called to talk to someone about them and cancel. I was given the runaround FOR DAYS! We talked to the “manager” the highest at HotelPlanner.com and she could not give us information about where these fees were listed but insisted they were. She also stated that she could not cancel even though they were mistake because they would still get charged by the hotel. After being on the phone with her for 40 minutes she hung up on me with no resolution. We are now talking with our bank to take further action. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS WEBSITE!

I booked a room in January thru 3rd party booking. I was quoted a low rate and then told there were no more rooms at that rate... I continued with transaction because I had plans and needed the room. After transaction was completed I hung up and called the hotel directly. They had rooms at the lower rate and was told to call and let (3rd party billing line) that rooms were available. I was getting a better deal with the hotel (directly) than I had gotten thru 3rd party booking, but unfortunately for me... I could not cancel because it was nonrefundable. With that being said I was NOT very happy and extremely upset. So I decided to escalate and happy that I did. With the help of "Riginette **" all was cancelled and money returned to my credit card.
Pleasing customers should be a number one priority... whether they are right or wrong... There is always a way to make things right. In my case this is exactly what took place. Thank you, it was greatly appreciated. It goes to show that some "companies" do care. And with that being said, lesson learned on my part... to pay attention when making a reservation.

At first, we were a little unsure of staying in a Bed and Breakfast. It was our first time. It was an older neighborhood and we were not sure how this would work out. It was great! No problems with the area or the B&B. We drove up from Texas for a wedding and wanted something that was close to our venue as well as a treat for 'the father of the Bride'. This Bed and Breakfast is so close to the great history making sites and blues/jazz clubs... the list goes on and on! Luke, the manager, is so gracious and knows so much about the history and the sites in Kansas City! It has made us want to come back for another stay when we aren't 'so busy'.
We decided that we wanted to upgrade after making our reservation and to keep the frustration of doing the paperwork and so forth, They upgraded us for free! Very gracious and helpful. The Victorian room is the one for us! It had good views and LOTS of room. It was very well decorated with period art and wall sconces as well as antique furniture; with the right amount of modern conveniences... like the great glassed in shower. NICE! The two living areas downstairs are loaded with art and statues... Some of the art is Luke's original art. We could have spent hours looking at the Asian statues and jade pieces. All in all?

Presuming that this site represents Sheraton, I made a reservation, being assured I got the best rate. $193.66 for three seniors. In a couple days I checked with Sheraton direct. Their rate was $122.63. Called Hotel Planner to complain. Basically said they could only give me 10% off and got a lecture on being careful of what I clicked on! Next morning I called another number. Explained the issue. They said they gave me the best available rate and will credit me for the 10% after our stay. And when pressed left me no choice.

The online booking was OK though the website was a little confusing and process wasn't very illustrative. It was frustrating to get support on the reservations after booking. Confirmation number indicated by the system that hotel would know wasn’t recognized by the hotel. Phone numbers listed on the reservation didn't really help. I couldn't get support through many phone calls. Especially for the reservation numbers starting with “R”, I was detoured so many times to get to the phone number who has the knowledge of this type of reservations. However, they still couldn’t help as they do not have the privilege to update the records (i.e., guest name).
What really helped was the assigned agent(s). He followed up with my booking and helped me reached out, who then assisted me with my request. This made my experience totally different, and this is the main reason that I rate the overall experience as 4 star. Additionally, I got very good discount rates with the event page that the agent set up for me. I will definitely share my experience with friends.

When we arrived at our hotel in Hershey, PA, we were to have had 2 rooms reserved. Quality Inn and Suites only showed 1 room as booked. Upon calling HotelPlanner we were told that they still showed 2 rooms from their end as reserved. After approximately 45 on the phone and still unresolved, HotelPlanner submitted a request for a relocation for 1 room because neither HotelPlanner or Quality Inn was willing to give us a refund for the first room. We were told someone would be in touch by phone to confirm 1 room at a relocation site.
It is now 30 hours later and we have heard nothing yet... obviously we don't need the room now as we took care of the problem ourselves as we needed a room to stay in last night. My advice would be to avoid HotelPlanner and Quality Inn and Suites as neither were willing to help with the problem, they just played the blame game on each other.

On the fifth call, a different agent put me on hold and never came back. Tried calling 2 more times and no answer; just kept getting disconnected during on hold music. No other hotel rooms in town available. Ended up having to pay more for lesser accommodations. I have now committed myself to letting EVERYONE know of this terrible service.

Thank you for taking the time to listen to what my concerns were. My stay at the hotel was not as pleasant as I thought it would be unfortunately. But the customer representative went over and beyond in taking care of me and making me feel like a person and not just a number on a ticket with a problem. It actually was addressed so quickly that I would feel confident in trying to stay in one of your establishments again. Thanks again and have a pleasant day.

On October 23rd I made a reservation through your website for one night at the Holiday Inn in Ocean City, MD. Due to a death in the family I had to cancel my reservation. The funeral is a military funeral and we were at the mercy of the military cemetery in Florida as to when the burial would be. In order for me to travel from Maryland to Florida I had to cancel my plans at the Holiday Inn. I spoke with Alina ** who explained that there would be no refund for the cancellation. However she asked what the circumstances were and when I explained she immediately offered her sympathy and said she would talk with her supervisor and see what could be done. The next day I got an email from Reginette ** saying that under the circumstances I would receive a full refund. I cannot tell you how grateful I am to both of these women. They are outstanding representatives of your company. They made a terrible situation for me a little better to cope with.

Whenever, we need to plan a trip the stop on the internet is www.hotelplanner.com. The prices are always affordable and the places they offer to stay are always very nice and in the center of where you want to be. The employees work extremely hard to ensure your experience is a great one. We have tried other sites and I have been disappointed with the location once we arrived and the description of the hotel. I prefer you tell me truth, before I arrive please don't post "puff pictures" to get people to stay at your hotel when you have a one star hotel and you are trying to claim it as a four star. People will only be highly dissatisfied when they arrive and blast you for it. Hotelplanner.com ensures this doesn't happen.

I spoke with a rep and asked for a pet friendly room for my 16 pound dog, he asked me for the weight of the dog. When we got to the hotel they did not have a pet friendly room so they would not give us a room, we slept in the car. This company charged me $159.99. I disputed with my credit card company but because I have no proof I asked for a pet friendly room I have to pay. No one will talk to me at this company to make it right. The hotel said they would not charge me but they do not have any paperwork to send me to dispute because I didn't stay at the hotel.

This reservation was a nightmare. I do not recall them at all!! First: they misquoted the price by 45.00. Second: They did not send my reservation till I was at the hotel 5 hours. Third: they did not mention that there was a 200.00 deposit. So we did not get the room because motel was booked up.

When making reservations on the website, I had intended on booking a one-night stay, but mistakenly booked a two-night. I contacted the hotel directly, but because I had used the HotelPlanner website, they were unable to help.

My boyfriend and I planned a trip out to Chicago, IL from CT. We used HotelPlanner to reserve a hotel after painstakingly researching prices and locations that would work out the best for where we needed to go. The hotel was booked, and our confirmation email received. We're all set, we assumed. Fast forward to arriving in Chicago, our flight was so early I had to stay up the night before after working late, however we figured it's be too early to check in to the hotel so we grabbed lunch before taking a 45 min Lyft to the hotel. We are both ready to take a much needed nap but then were informed by the front desk that we have no reservation... and they are completely booked for the night. She calls the number for Hotel Booking and they inform her our reservation was canceled.
So as I'm calling to talk to them, they send an email saying our reservation was canceled (We had never received any other emails or phone calls since it was confirmed). I tell lady on the phone our confirmation number and predicament, to which she verifies now that it's been canceled. I explain to her that we are here at the hotel and we NEVER canceled our reservation, and she tells me someone must’ve called in and canceled, which is absurd and insulting because if one of us did we wouldn't have been having this conversation. She let us know we wouldn't be charged (Gee, thanks). The lady on the phone was so unsympathetic as I told her how we were there and needed a place to stay and how we already budgeted out the money for this trip and the last thing we should have to do is try to find a new hotel, for more money when we are standing on the side of the road with our bags on no sleep.
She tells me "Sorry, I can't help you. Our system is updating." Wow, just wow, so customer service pretty much told me she doesn't care and isn't going to do anything to help us. I'm expectedly furious at this point and point out that they should cover any extra cost of another hotel we can find, and she just says again, "I can't help you. Maybe call back when the system isn't down." I get off the phone with her because my head was going to explode if I talked to her anymore and my boyfriend and I commence finding another hotel on our own, which we ended up paying much more for.
I tried calling back later and got someone on the phone that was nice and capable of empathy, however as she was trying to help me and transfer me to someone for booking another hotel for the next few nights the phone disconnected and at that point I was too stressed to call back. We opted to eat the extra money spent and go get a deep dish pizza. This infuriating and frustrating episode was not how we wanted to start our trip. HotelPlanner wouldn't admit fault and didn't rectify our situation, and caused us to have to spend much more money and waste a bunch of time on our first day of our trip.

Room filthy and unfit to be rented out. No blankets. No shower curtain, no towels, no toilet paper. There was a trash can, it contained a metal pipe & other plumbing trash. Hairs on toilet seat & in tub/shower. Filthy (I have photos) sheets & pillow cases on beds. Trash under beds & behind bedside table. Carpet filthy, with sticky spots and mud on it. Bedside table had sticky substance on it.
AMENITIES. NO MICROWAVE, NO FRIDGE, NO FUNCTIONING TV, NO FUNCTIONING LIGHTS IN ROOM (No, I am NOT Kidding). I ASKED for my Money Back - The manager states he's Only Been there for 4 days, doesn't know HOW to do a Refund and the "Owners" are "On Vacation." He did; however, "try" and make it "right" in providing linens, a clean trash can, a shower curtain, toilet paper, a working TV, a mini fridge, a microwave and picked up SOME of the trash & provided me with ONE blanket.
Morning after no real sleep... I go down to the Lobby for my "Continental Breakfast"... see the jugs empty (don't even look like juice has been in them)... Only coffee out.

I then called the hotel where I was supposed to stay but they had no record of my reservation. When I called HotelPlanner.com back, an automated message started confirming different reservations which I hadn't made for different dates/cities.

I explained to the manager that the hotel had no record of my reservation and their system was telling me that I had made additional reservations which I hadn't. The manager apologized and said it would be up to the hotel to allow the cancellation and he would have to get back with me.
A few days later, I called the hotel to see if they had received any info from HotelPlanner which they hadn't. The hotel manager was very nice and told me she would contact the company and get everything straightened out. The hotel manager called back today and informed me that HotelPlanner refused to make the cancellation and I would have to call them back and fight it out. I called HotelPlanner back again and was immediately connected with a service rep who jumped right into telling me no cancellations and told me I should have read the fine print.
I asked for a manager again at which point she said they only work Monday through Friday until 5 pm and I would have to call back on Monday. What kind of major online booking company doesn't have a manager on duty at all times? Ultimately, I had my credit card company dispute the charges as this company provided me with no services but had charged me $210. Terrible experience dealing with these extremely rude and unprofessional people.

HotelPlanner's rates are higher than actual hotel rates. Hotel Planner charge was $170 nightly for Wyndham in Brooklyn, NY. Hotel was charging $159. I asked hotel Planner to refund difference and was told No, this is their profit margin. Really! Shop around and compare. Avoid hotelplanner, I will!

On July 8, 2017, as we were headed to our hotel at Best Western Merry Manor South Portland, ME, we received a call that our niece was in a fatal vehicle accident. When we arrived at the hotel, we were trying to figure out what course of action to take. As a result, we had to cancel our reservations through Hotel Planner and the hotel because we needed to get home to our family. Hotel Planner worked with the hotel and they were able to get us a refund. We truly appreciate Hotel Planner and Best Western Merry Manor for their support and empathy during this difficult time. Unfortunately, we were not able to get home immediately due to flight times and the unreasonable high rates but we were able to get home in time for the funeral. I highly recommend Hotel Planner for your future travel plans.

Dear Linda, Thanks for your review! We send well wishes to your family during this difficult time and we are glad that we were able to assist you with your reservation. May you have a great day!

After several attempts to Contact Regina customer relations I was told that she would like IT know that HotelPlanner should alert their clients about their upcoming stay. I booked my reservation through Hotel Planner back in June 2017 for an event. The event was cancelled but I forget to cancel this one stay. After the initial reservation email I got nothing else from them until I received charge on my credit for the stay. I was told by the hotel that Hotel planners never provided them with my email address so they could not alert me of my upcoming stay that would allowed me to cancel. All Hotel Planners had to say was it my responsibility to remember without any additional contact from them. No common courtesy given. WHAT A SHAME...

I originally asked & made a reservation for 2 adults, a SMOKING Double Room. I printed out the itinerary the next day & it had 2 major errors, 1 Adult & a NON-Smoking room. I tried to call HotelPlanner to explain the mistakes. I got the run-around for 4 days, trying to get someone in authority to speak to. I was put on hold constantly, messages were not returned, so on. I tried calling the motel, but got nowhere. I even offered to change the reservation to another time, no dice. While it's possible I made mistakes when typing in my reservation, I highly doubt it. So, I lost $185.00. I understand the no change, no return policy; I feel they made the mistakes. Folks, I STRONGLY urge you to avoid HotelPlanner.

HI Robert,
Thank you for bring the matter concerning your reservation to our attention. We are able to verify that your issue has been resolved as the department handling your reservation was able to confirm that your reservation booked was a nonrefundable booking for one adult in a non smoking room.
The department did receive a courtesy waiver for your reservation and as such you were issued a refund in full that was processed back to the account information you provided at the time of booking.
Once again we thank you for reaching out to us and we are glad that we were able to resolve this matter for you.

I had booked a room at a hotel in USA from the UK. The confirmation email showed I had made a small error in the booking. I emailed HotelPlanner highlighting my mistake. I had a very polite response within hours to say that they had rectified the error and everything would be ok. I was very grateful as this I thought I would have to try and contact the hotel to sort it out myself, but HotelPlanner relieved me of that stress. Many thanks.
