“Williamsport Hotel”

Jhulianny was very nice and did not lose patience with me when I had to have her repeat several things during the making of my reservation. She did a great job!

“HotelPlanner is a scam.”

Helene R.

HotelPlanner is a scam. It will not acknowledge that it misrepresented itself and did not explain it was a third party. They pretended to represent the Grand Hyatt Hotel in San Francisco. After learning that HotelPlanner was charging almost $200 more per night for a room I cancelled the reservation and booked the room directly with the hotel. Calls to HotelPlanner (they answer the phone "reservations " pretending to be the hotel) for 2 weeks now about refunding my money have yielded no results. Beware of being ripped off by HotelPlanner!

It was a crazy time to look for a room in Maine because of the Big Nor'easter coming. But this woman just kept trying. She never gave up until I booked a room. They were grabbed up as I was waiting. She was cheery, polite, and optimistic. A wonderful employee! I would have been pulling my hair out if I didn't have her to help me.

He was so informative and it seemed as if he had a smile as he gave the update on the room rates and all amenities. He did his best to inform and offer the best fare rates available. We will stay with your establishment above all others! Staff, including continental breakfast is all a plus! Thank you & awesome home away from home, Hooray!

Tip for consumers:
All went smoothly and helpful. The young man that assisted us was so pleasant too! Maybe give him a surprise with a paid day off and a nice card...or, give him a Lil bonus with his pay! He truly was awesome, Yeah!!! TY

I am most grateful and thankful for a very gracious courteous and helpful representative helping me obtain a reservation. My niece is getting married & I am traveling for her wedding. Mr. Karlo Gadin was most courteous, understanding, & patient in helping book reservations. I look forward to my stay. I have stayed with Country Inn Suites many times on my visits to Savannah & have always been very pleased with accommodations & impeccable service of staff members.

Fine. Lots of auto options. Brandon did well. Imagine he was alone at front desk so I'd say waiting time was excessive. System not Brandon.

Great service speaking with Brandon. Such a pleasure to speak with an English speaking attendant that speaks clearly, knows his job and can work quickly! My call was picked up immediately with only on transfer to the reservation desk. Brandon offered options for rooms, clearly explained the details of the cost and room we booked. Very professional!

Seriously the kindest customer service representative I have EVER dealt with! I felt like I personally have known her for years! Please remind her often at how great she is! I know being a supervisor myself we forget to compliment our high performers as much as we should be! These are the people you never want to leave!

I booked 2 rooms at the Fairmont El San Juan Hotel using The Knot "powered by hotel planner" and when I called the hotel to confirm they received my reservation with hotel planner, they have no record of receiving the reservation! I booked >48 hours ago and the hotel still doesn't have the reservation. I'm now out >$3000 and my sister's bachelorette party is ruined, and everyone is devastated! BEWARE!

Lauren did a good job in helping me find a hotel in the Redondo Beach area that would accommodate my pet. She even looked for other hotels that were not Hilton.
I ended up booking with her at Homewood suites
