I'd like to see that page, because there's no quick book on the hotel I was referencing, but there are 9 distinct rates for the specific room type on specific dates, plus another button which allows for AAA rates, AARP rates, Travel agent rates, Senior rates, Government rates, plus corporate, group or promo codes.
The point is, price discrimination and obfuscation is an integral part of hotel revenue maximization strategy. The premise that they guarantee a "best rate" is a largely empty one.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoThis is what I see. The screen right after you select the room type and reservation terms has the total clearly listed. I do not feel like I was "hoodwinked" or "led on", on the previous pages it clearly says there will be resort charges, and prices are almost always excluding tax in the US. https://imgur.com/a/quVPzWX https://imgur.com/a/quVPzWX >The premise that they guarantee a "best rate" is a largely empty one. I have never found a hotel room as cheap as the rewards member pricing from a third party, and that is what a guarantee is. Does not seem empty to me, they deliver what they promise, and being a rewards member is free, and zero cost since they already have all your information anyway.
- listenallyall 3y agoLOL, want to "quick book"? It's only an extra $30/night above other rates, but hey, its "quick."
- lotsofpulp 3y agoIt is $30 more than the more restrictive cancelation policies, not for being able to “quick book”.
