sail7seas Posted August 31, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 31, 2004 You made a reference in a recent thread to hotelbook.com as a site you use often. I just went there and entered a specific Marriott Hotel looking for a quote and got nothing. Does that site only book with certain hotels/chains? Only ones they contract with?

THe site appears to be using the Pegasus system (similar to Places To Stay, but a bit more upscale) and I don't believe Marriott propoerties are available to any Pegasus site.

sail7seas Posted September 1, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Thanks, Dave. I was looking for 'better hotels' but think it probably best if I go directly to their individual sites. I was interested to check that site out as Jazzsea says she uses it frequently. Perhaps those hotels are the ones she books most frequently?

That could be since its a limited number of places (~5000) but worldwide it would give you a good collection for a TA to use. I fund Marriott's own site to be most helpful - if I want to go to a major city. I do wish the company would do more in 'off the beaten track' locations, though. -dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted September 2, 2004 Author #5 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Thank you, Carol. That would be very generous of you. We have reserved space w/ HAL but they will not give us a confirmation saying that is the hotel we will be staying at. They reserve the right to substitute with whatever they please. That is not acceptible to us. I am never willing for anyone but us to decide what hotel we shall sleep in....for my money, I stay where I choose not some bean counter. We still prefer to stay at Marriot Waterside and would book on our own if we could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
