Booking hotels through third parties

[luvjabd]

Oh yuk luvjabd. overbooking, ugh. a whole NOTHER kettle of fish.

It's ok...I booked through a third party and I came out ahead - better room AND scooter paid for + $100 travel voucher and $25 credit for phone calls made.
There is some security with those third party folks! Had I booked directly, I would have been screwed!
