Smooth and was enough to accomplish. Stayed last year., am old, 50 characters is a bunch
It was very easy to manage and very clear with amounts and fees and also photos of the rooms.
Very easy and affordable and nice … it took all of 12 mins or less to reserve the room
Easy to use. Will use it again if I choose to go on another trip
2nd try worked.they had my last name wrong then charged extra to cancel it finally have it sorted out
Hope the room meets our expectations. Truthfully, what the hell can a booking site do other than record data? This block requires 50 strokes to complete the survey? This defeats the purpose of a candid response, other than negative feedback. If I have to do it again, I won't use Reservationdesk, I'll call the Hotel.
I will never use your co again the worst experience i have ever experienced and will tell everyone i know
After i realized i made a mistake on a reservation i call them back in 10 minutes because they add was misleading, they originally said they would reverse it but then they said no so i call the hotel in question and they said they never got my rev i will be disputing the charge and calling the hotel corp headquarters and telling them what happened never use reservation desk
Booking was very efficient and confirmation was sent in a timely manner!
I honestly wish I didn't have to write this negative review. My wife and I live in Irvine, CA and we booked a Newport Beach NYE cruise to bring in the New Year. Really fun way to spend time together and celebrate. We also booked a room at Holiday Inn Express Newport Beach to have a place to stay after the cruise. It's obviously a convenient place to stay after getting off the boat. Our room for New Years Eve (12/31/24) was booked a couple weeks BEFORE NYE, and we received reservation confirmation from our credit card company. We wanted to make sure we had a place to stay after enjoying the cruise. We don't want to be driving on NYE of course. Holiday Inn Express Newport Beach canceled our reservation a COUPLE HOURS before check in. They are literally awful people who take no accountability. Who does this kind of thing (hours before check in)? I called Holiday Inn Express Newport Beach to discuss them cancelling the reservation and they literally hung up on me. No apology, no acknowledgement that they messed up. Absolutely awful people who don't care and take zero accountability. They need to be held accountable for their actions and lack of proper management. Very frustrating for my wife and me. I hope this review will make the decision makers at that hotel take accountability for their actions and I hope it helps others from dealing with this kind of frustration. Happy New Year! Be safe and avoid Holiday Inn Express Newport Beach. They are awful people.

Thank you for taking the time to review us and provide feedback, Doug.
Booking was easy and efficient however the fee did not reflect the original rate discussed with the hotel itself. Had to call and confirm that the charge was what was expected.

Had to pay full peice, not given hospital rate. No lamps, sheet not fitted, kept coming out, had to ask front desk for clips to hold curtain closed, really old microwave. Took 10 mins to heat warm small bowl of soup, no lights in dark outside blocked off hallway. Worse Motel I ever stayed in and it's been many. Will see if I get medical discount in morning when I sign out. Front desk lady said, when I checked in, cause I called thr number on the website, I don't get medical discount!. Well they never gave me the medical rate. To edit my review I had to put today's date in for stay. But it was December 30,2024

They intentionally make their website look like the actual hotel you're wanting to reserve. When you discover that it isn't - they refuse to refund you. I literally called 30 min after booking and they refused to assist me. An absolutely horrible company that is a complete scam!

Answer: It's a complete scam. What booking company takes your payment in full for the room months in advance and then you cancel months in advance and then they not refund your money! TOTAL SCAM! 110% scam!
Answer: You are really not talking to a supervisor when you ask to speak with a supervisor. They have terrible customer service and hung up on me when I insisted on talking to someone above the person who would not help me. Seriously! Read some script and then hung up on me. I cannot get a refund. Do NOT use this service. They scam you into believing that you are talking to a representative of the hotel. When I called them to get my money back, the so called, "Supervisor," hung up on me and would not let me speak to her supervisor. Very unprofessional conduct. I would never hang up on a customer. She read some script over the phone to me and then hung up on me. DO NOT USE this scamming outfit. You have been warned!
Answer: They were deceptive. I googled to call the motel directly and I do not recall if I asked them specifically am I calling the motel directly, but they answered reservation desk, so I thought I was calling the Motel, and they never told me otherwise.
Answer: Please help me to get back refound my deposit... what do you need from me to get it.
Answer: My confirmation number was 94230002. The Stay was paid for Rafel del Rio and we paid the deposit wit my credit catd ends 0291
