Expedia Unpublished Rate Buyer Beware!!


Today (01/30/2012) I booked an night in Savannah Ga in the Historic District for a Four Star Hotel. Once it was booked I am notified that the hotel will be The Westin Savannah Harbor Resort & Spa which by any stretch of the imagination is not located in the historic district, it is located across the river .8 of a mile by water. I immediately called Expedia, I was told that since it was a unpublished rate hotel basiclly tough ***!! I asked to speak with a supervisor and was offered a future $50 credit.
I called my bank to reverse charges and was told that a claim would have to be filed and it could take upto 90 days for it to be settled.
I accepted the $50 credit and once I have used it I will never use Expedia again.
My experience in the past 10 years with Expedia has been good, but the customer service seems to have been outsourced.

I just booked a hotel through Expedia's unpublished rate and am quite unsatisfied as well. I am going to Cannery Row in Monterey, CA and the description was for a Cannery Row hotel for $112.

I booked it and it ended up being a hotel over 2.5 miles away from Cannery Row. The hotel also has a $22 resort fee that I will need to pay in addition to what I already payed Expedia.

I am very unsatisfied and will not use this service again.

Expedia made it right and refunded my money after I called and was able to speak with someone in the US. I booked another room through Expedia in the Historic District of Savannah and was very happy. My only complaint stems from the fact that the unpublished rate was not in the are I was searching for and I had to spend hours correcting the problem that should have not happened in the first place.

I used Expedia's unpublished rate hotel thing and wound up w/3 nights at the Palms in Vegas for $39/night. No complaints here.

That's funny you must be from Expedia? I did receive a full refund from Expedia after I went through two supervisors in the Phillipines and spoke with a person in Las Vegas I was given a full refund.
For your information the map on Expedia is wrong how can the Historic district be .8 miles as a river? It was pure bait and switch!!
My argument was when I was searching on the Expedia site, I was looking for a hotel in the historic district, there were 40 hotels listed, I saw the check on unpublished rates, clicked bought a 4 star hotel for $129. The hotel they sold me was not on the list of 40. So I was refunded and I booked another room through Expedia in the Historic District.

In this case, Expedia is NOT wrong.
The hotel is IN the historic district AREA shown on the map.
