Your advertised price is obviously a teaser. By the time you add the resort fee and the taxes the price has doubled. And I haven’t even parked my car yet… Nevertheless you have a nice hotel

Easy AND Hidden fees

He was accommodating and polite. However, he quoted me $68 on the phone and I was charged $98. Plus $20 Cash deposit at check in. I didn’t appreciate these hidden fees!

Booking smooth

Booking smooth, reservation good. When I called, I thought I was booking direct with the hotel; somewhat deceptive. I followed all their instructions for early checkout refund and they denied. I shall avoid these people in the future.

Easy to make reservations

It's always easy to make reservations for the Blue Gate Inn Shipshawana, I would however you check out the website of Blue Gate to make sure you find the right room that fits your liking.
The amenities are out of this world.
This website makes reservations a breeze.

Simple

Simple, and easy to use. I picked the hotel and the dates, and compared it quickly with the major travel websites, then charged ahead! Bypass the "middleman" whenever you can!

Deceitful!

This time? I guess you are used to things going wrong! I thought I was reserving with the hotels web site. Even their front desk said what you do is deceitful. In addition reserved rate was different from what the hotel had. Looks like I was charged your $17.99 booking fee both on the hotel bill as well as separately. If nothing else this should be refunded. Garbage experience!

Shocking & Disappointing

Zero discounts and after booking, received notice that the room would have been $50 cheaper through hotels.com. We have never experienced a 3rd party site being cheaper than going direct with the hotel but if we were to return here, we wouldn’t go direct. Luckily, we saved the other 5 couples in our party that money. We’d recommend beating the prices on other sites to avoid sharing profit and keep the customer loyal to booking direct but if it has no incentive to do so, people won’t. I know I won’t for future events.

The site was easy to use. My only complaint was I could not find customer reviews until after I had completed booking. It may have changed my decisions.

We’re sorry to learn about the difficulties you experienced when you arrived at the hotel. To clarify, Reservation Desk is an independent online travel agency that books reservations for over 200,000 hotels worldwide, but we are not directly affiliated with the hotel itself. For any onsite concerns, we recommend speaking with the hotel’s front desk or management. That said, if you need help with your reservation, feel free to reach out to our support team at support@reservationdesk.com. We're here to help where we can and would love to hear more about your experience booking with us.
