Well, don't try Expedia instead. I booked two hotels with
Expedia a couple of weeks back, both in Winnipeg, one
prepaid, one not. Neither reservation worked. The first
one I discovered on checkin. Luckily they had a room
anyway, at a walk-up rate which was cheaper than Expedia's.
The second one - prepaid - I checked by phone. The hotel
had never heard of it. After 20 minutes on the phone with
Expedia I managed to get a refund - although the phone call,
from another hotel, cost $30.

Moral: Expedia, never again.

I had reported on my trip to Georgia a few days ago.
Now the rest of the story. I used Airnav for the cheapest fuel stops.
Also used it to get my motel at Days Inn with the discount on Airnav.
When I called for my reservation the gentle man quoted a price of $71.00.
I told him I could get a better price and he stated I would get the room for
$65.00 Tax included.
When I checked in at the Day Inn they told me that I had 2 rooms reserved, I
assured them I only required one room.
When I checked out they ask if I wanted to pay now with my credit card or be
billed by Hotel.com. I paid by credit card and the price was $44.75
Now I get my credit card statement and it has a charge of $71.00
Of course I called Hotel.com and they ask that I fax the credit card statement
and the paid bill from Days INN.
My point is that one can spend a lot more money by ordering over the Internet
than going directly to the motel.
And now you know the rest of the story.
