mattR Posted August 10, 2007 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I can't find the original thread but hotels.com had put some rooms for the Days Inn Ft Lauderdale Oakland on-line for only $2 it didn't last long. Some people decided that they were not going to keep there reservations after reading some reviews. I just checked tripadvisor and the newest reviews are very positive so thats great!

lorsfish Posted August 10, 2007 #2 Share Posted August 10, 2007 That is good to hear. Do you still have a reservation? When will you be checking it out? Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted August 10, 2007 #3 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Why would they have been $2.00? Do you think that was a mistake? Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattR Posted August 11, 2007 Author #4 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Yes still have my reservation for Feb. I guess it was either a awsome promo or a mistake. Called the hotel to confirm and they had me booked and made no mention of our rate. Have a back-up booking just incase they cancel it on us. Anyone out there with this booking have any troubles?

lorsfish Posted January 17, 2008 #8 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Mine is for the 8-10 of Feb. everyone else must have cancelled! We do have another reservation elsewhere if this doesn't work out! Our plane gets in early aft. so will check in and see room, and still have time to cancel other hotel or go to it before 6pm. Have you tried calling the hotel directly to see if they have the reservation? We called the booking web site (hotel._o_) and they said every thing was a go. Wondering if I should try the hotel directly to see if they have it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted January 17, 2008 #9 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I would definitley call the hotel and make sure you all have the rooms reserved at that price. Why wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jade13 Posted January 17, 2008 #10 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Don't you all think you should call and make sure they are going to honor the rate? It's still your time and money to get to the hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorsfish Posted January 17, 2008 #11 Share Posted January 17, 2008 We did call the 1-800 # a couple of months ago and was told that the reservation site has so many rooms booked but they do not have the names! We do have a back up hotel booked if this doesn't work out. We will only be out under $10 for the room! And that is cheap entertainment for 6 months fun!

We also took down the persons name and another comfirmation # that they had! Does look like a go! Now hopefully we can tollerate the hotel! :rolleyes: , but for $2 I could be pretty tollerant!

So, was this a booking error? Did the hotel know (or care) what you had paid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattR Posted February 13, 2008 Author #19 Share Posted February 13, 2008 So, was this a booking error? Did the hotel know (or care) what you had paid? When I checked in the clerk said you booked through Hotels.ca (I said yes) She then said that it was prepaid and just needed a credit card for incedentals. :) I think it must have been a error by Hotels.Ca???
