No Truth in Their Advertizing!!!!
I have been totally deceived by Bookings.com and Park Central Hotel NYC 870 7th Avenue at 56th Street, New York City, NY 10019, USA . If you do business with these folks, what you need to be prepared for is the Moving Shell Game. On each page the price of the room changes, the format of the price changes and at NO TIME WAS I PROVIDED THE ACTUAL PRICE I WAS TO BE CHARGED. Yesterday I went through Booking.com to reserve a room at Park Central Hotel. The website advertised the Lowest Price Guaranteed " at $115. When I put in my date request, the price total for three nights was $540 in large bold letters and that is the price on my receipt in large bold letters.
When I check my credit card this morning the total charged is $728.14. For the advertised room of $115.00 plus not included: 14.75 % tax, US$ 3.50 City tax per night, US$ 32.66 service charge per person per night. So now the price is $242.71 per night for the advertised "Lowest Price Guaranteed" $115 room. When I called Bookings.com customer service the agent saw no problem with this and he also contacted the Park Central Hotel who also had no problem with this outrageous price increase from the advertised price. And even better, now I am getting offers from Booking.com to for a reservation price of $110. So much for "Lowest Price Guaranteed" and truth in advertising.
