Anyone used Expedia to book a hotel?
Regarding the accuracy of the info, isn't it a case of just verifying
the info? Wouldn't you do it anyway just to be sure that your hotel is in a specific location? Lil "EvelynVogtGamble(Divamanque)" wrote in message ...

However, this is the first time I will be using an online service to do that. Is there a catch I should be careful of? For example, on the reservation form there is one subtotal "Taxes: unknown" which doesn't count towards the total. What does that mean? I'd be cautious - especially about Expedia's "deals". My first trip to Paris I booked my room at the Home Plazza Bastille through Expedia, and would never, never, NEVER stay there again! In looking for a Brussels hotel (less expensive than the Amigo has become, since my last stay there) they recommended one that was suppposed "near the opera". Fortunately, I inquired here, first. A nice woman responded privately to tell me that "near" was a gross exageration, but that the hotel named WAS on the fringes of the Brussels red-light district! You can usually get just as good deals e-mailing the hotel directly. (For trustworthy recommendations, try JACK'S web-pages - he has no financial interest in getting you to book at a particular place.) |
