Definitely sounds shady Marko. What did they suggest to make it better for you? Anything?

nothing. i argued with the "manager" for hours over the course of 2 days.

after making my argument each time she would always say she'd have to call me back in 20 min. She never did. I ended up calling back 2 hours later and she had left for the day and doesnt work weekends. And i leave for my trip tomorrow

so ill have to deal with it when i get back.

I have used red tag, hotels.ca, and travelocity all multiple times, nothing but good to say about them. I even use them to book local hotels.

redtag its self I have used about 15 times and every one is exactly what they said. now thats not to say there is nothing bad about them only that I have been satisfied. I have also used travel agents extensively over the last 25 years and I have to say they have been the most disapointing. not for the survice but for the price of that service, unless you have a very long term relation with a agent and use them alot or you are personal friends you are not going to save money. but I see laitly there are some that are starting to compete with the online clearance sites.

what also could have happened is that the hotell changed there ratings and didn't inform the agents, or the web page had not been updated yet with the new gradings at your time of purchase.. did you ask them about it or did you just fly off the handle when you saw it?

and if it is such a big deal just call visa and cancle the charges, all done.

What did you book, exactly? What do the other sites rate this place at?

I booked a trip to Mexico.

Red tag shows 5 stars. But the tour company they're selling on behalf of rates it 4 stars.

All other sites rate it 4 or 4.5 star.

The hotels website rates it 5/6 stars.

But to me 5/5 and 5/6 is not the same thing.

Tried getting credit card company to reverse the charges but they say they are in no position to determine ratings for hotels

Sounds like you're throwing too much negativity into your trip before you even go. Relax, go to Mexico, get drunk. Enjoy.

That's what I plan on doing. I just can't sit here and let them screw me. They owe me 400 dollars as per their price assurance (because the price dropped between when a paid and 3 days before departure)
