See below for what I plan to post on every social media site! My mother is paying for a hotel room for me, and you guys have been HORRIBLE for her to work with! Again, this is what I plan to post unless you would like to resolve this situation immediately. From the other reviews I've been reading, you don't need any more bad press!

Here are the reasons why not to use this site:
1. I made a hotel reservation on 9/03/15 for 9/18/15. Only after the reservation was confirmed did I see in the fine print "This reservation must be canceled by AUGUST 8,2015 in order not to be charged for a one night's stay. In other words I would have had to cancel A MONTH BEFORE I made the reservation to have avoided the paying for the room. I was trying to cancel OVER a week in advance of the arrival date, but was told they would NOT cancel it, and I was already charged for the two night stay.
2. When I tried to contact getaroom by phone, everyone I talked with had a strong accent that I had great difficulty understanding, and I was on hold a considerable period of time, switched from one person to another, asked for not only a confirmation number but also a 12 digit "booking reference number".
All said and done, my credit card was already charged as soon as I made the reservation. I called the hotel and they said they were very sorry that there was nothing they could do.
NEVER use getaroom.com to make reservation. I certainly will never again use them.
