efan82 Posted February 28, 2007 #1 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I just got on a hotel chain's website and reserved a 3 rooms for our group when we fly into Miami in May. The rate listed was 1.99 per room. I went ahead and reserved thinking it would change somewhere in the process, but it didn't and I have even been emailed a confirmation. Can they come back on me and change it later? What should I expect? Do they have to give me this rate now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue L Posted February 28, 2007 #4 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I suspect it was just a typo of the decimal point and you need to read the fine print where they say whether they can change the rate or not. Have you tried going to the site again and seeing what the current rate is? I know not as significant but when shopping at Costco I picked up a 4 lb package of meat and it was labeled .08 cents, they honored it at the checkout, hopefully they do for you too.

cruisinfanatic Posted February 28, 2007 #5 Share Posted February 28, 2007 It was Marriott!which one? for what date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suefalls Posted March 1, 2007 #6 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Please tell, but I think that you will find it was a typo. Did you book through Marriott or through a site like expedia. If through other site, it is their problem not marriotts and you will have to take it up with them, and marriott will charge correct rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medic123 Posted March 1, 2007 #7 Share Posted March 1, 2007 It is the Springhill Suites at the Miami Airport. It is listed as their weekend special. I booked it for my November cruise for the same 1.99. The price only shows for Friday and Saturdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisinMike Posted March 1, 2007 #14 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I think if you click on the option "near an airport" and then type in mia it will show up for you once you put in your dates. That's what I did anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, lools like someone got wise. I wonder what the protocol is to honor those prices? I know years ago United honored a $5.00 web price that slipped in the system for about an hour.

mbtaz Posted March 1, 2007 #23 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I think they have fixed the error. Now lets see if they cancel our reservation. I don't see how they can't honor it. they state in their confirmation that they honor their official confirmation only. Well, this is THEIR official confirmation. I'm sure if enough people complain if they don't honor it, it will get noticed. We'll see. Who is staying there first? My dates are May 18th.

FunCruiser56 Posted March 1, 2007 #24 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I saw this earlier and was able to book 3 rooms for our October trip. Got the conformations in my email. Now how to find out if they will honnor the price... I am keeping my original Hyatt reservation for now. Anyone else with a reservation for the Springhill Suites let us know if you find out anything!

I have no experience personally with this but I booked for early November. I've looked at the fine print and the only thing it says is if there are changes in gov't fees or tax rates the total could change. I would be interested also by others experience.
