MartyE posted:I would also add when booking via a 3rd party to call the hotel a couple weeks out and check your reservation, get a confirmation number from said hotel (not the 3rd party booking site), and a human's name that you spoke with.
I booked at the Wyndham last spring, called 2 days before and spoke with the front desk who assured me of my room. Went to check in and no room. Even though I checked days earlier. Go figure.
Good advice. One addition as someone who used to book the night before or the morning of. The first time I did this it was for the Heritage Hills Golf Resort. Showed up to check in and they had no record of my reservation. Fortunately, I had printed out all the confirmation info and had it with me to present to the front desk. Some other late arrival must have lost their room because I got one.
Best to print out the confirmation and have it with you.
