One Last Party: Travel website completely failed my hotel booking.

Can't Post

So now I have a room for Friday night, but not Saturday night. If I can't find someone to share with at the close-by hotels (which of course are completely sold out now), I'll probably just cancel the one night and find something closer the airport and pay extra (ugh!) for a taxi to the party. Word to the wise...use the travel websites to research fares and rates, but book directly with the hotel or airline yourself. Just to save yourself a headache.

The last thing you need on a big trip is for your accommodation to fall through less than a week out. My worst experience was during a South Island holiday when the motelier had me booked in for just one night instead of two. I wasn't impressed. (She gave me a bed in an office in her home for the second night so at least I had a place to sleep.)

I'm actually all set for tonight. Someone else offered me their second bed, and when I went to check out of my room, the hotel told me my own room was mine for both nights. All I can guess is that the website "fixed" their screwup and didn't let me know. (Or emailed after I got here.) I appreciate the offer though!
