CheapOstay.com Stay away from these guys

I booked a hotel 3 days ago and have tried canceling my reservation today due to a hurricane hitting Charleston the same time I'll be down there. I finally got customer service and they said that I'll need to cancel the reservation with the hotel. I call the hotel and they said they can cancel the reservation without any fees but that they cannot refund my money because cheapostay charged it.

I attempt to call cheapostay back and get hung up on the first time, second time I get passed to another person after I explain my issue (this happened three times with 15 min wait times inbetween) and after 45 minutes on the phone I still cannot get someone to tell me how to cancel my room.

If this doesn't get resolved tonight I have no problem filing a claim. Let me know if you would like me to file on your behalf as well.

CheapOstay.com They just wasted my time

What the...I tried booking hotel rooms from their website, but after I submitted all my info (address, credit card #, etc...) I didn't get any confirmation # or anything. I tried it again and had gotten the same result. I called customer service (twice). The first person I spoke with said that the reason was "the price of the hotel had increased". The second person, asked for my info., and said that they didn't have any reservations on their record. And YES, the CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS VERY RUDE AND WAS NOT HELPFUL AT ALL! I definitely don't recommend this website to anyone. THEY ARE ADVERTISING "LOW PRICES " THAT ISN'T VALID. They just wasted my time.

Horrible customer service, wait on the phone for a long time before an agent comes on the line. On a Sunday, I booked a room for a weekend a month away at the Embassy Suites in Anaheim, CA. Because of a hectic work week, when I checked my email the following Friday, I found out that there are two booking numbers for the intended weekend. Basically, the agent booked me twice. I called to adjust the booking, I was told that it's non-refundable. I was transferred around to different agents. Then an agent said that she will try but can not promise that I would get a refund; she would call me back. So basically, instead of paying $314.51 for one room for the weekend. I was charged $629.02 for two rooms. Also, I booked for two adults, myself and my wife, and my three boys. The itinerary only shows two adults. This is a terrible experience. I definitely will tell all my friends and family member to stay away from cheapostay.com.

These guys are a crock, don't believe a word they say. I booked a room online for my wedding in Temecula. They sent me an email with my reservation, I then told wedding party, parents, friends and family where we were staying. 4 days later I booked 3 more rooms for family over the phone. They gave me killer deals as they told me each room would receive a 50 dollar credit in 4 business days, I had a 40 dollar promo code but decided to take the deal over the phone instead as it was obviously better. I called back to rebook my room that I had booked 4 days ago. That is when they told me that room was not confirmed as the hotel was now booked and they cancelled it while I was on the phone with them. I asked how the hotel could be full when I just booked 3 rooms that day. They couldn't tell me. They acted like they didn't understand what I was saying. They told me I could call back the next day to speak with Faban their Manager. When I called he was never there and I had to speak with Caden again. Caden's only solution was to cancel the rooms I did book. Cuz that solves things, or I could book a Suite at the hotel for full price. So I had to book that room through AAA at a higher rate as time had past. Then when I called to talk about the 50 dollars they were suppose to credit back to my card which they never did, they told me the hotel raised the price on them so they were not able to do that all of a sudden. They tell you whatever it is you want to hear in order to get you to book and then they don't follow through. Their only solution to things is, "we can cancel the reservation for you" knowing as time goes by rooms get more and more expensive. These guys are 100% con artists and need to have their business license revoked! I'll never use them again. Trying to figure out how to file a claim against them with the BBB.

Just a SCAM, what they do is sit on a computer and search other web sites to book a room for you, and then charge you a $20 dollar fee.

Made a reservation and 3 hours later called to cancel and was told there was a no cancellation policy and I would be charged for the 2 nights anyway. I was never told this when making the reservation and I am VERY ANGRY.

CheapOstay.com Scam

I reserved a room with cheapostay.com on 10/14/2010 and the funds were taken out of my bank account on 10/18/2010. As we were checking out of the hotel they told us they hadnt recieved any information or verifications from cheapostay, so i had to pay again. When the hotel tried to call them on a saturday to get the information chaepo said they couldnt give out the information until monday. They had 9 days before we stayed at the hotel to give them the information and never did. When i tried to email cheapostay, the emails kepts getting sent back to me saying that the email address doesnt exist, when i tried calling them i talked to 5 different people and still have not herd anything from them. Stay away from this site by all costs. The hotel we stayed at hyatt place in minneapolis was very helpful and tried to help me as much as they could to get my money refunded.
