Its been a long time since I previously booked a hotel room via
Travelocity. As for hidden fees, that might depend on the hotel.
If you have any doubts, pick up your phone and call the hotel. You
might even get a lower rate that way.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Not sure if anyone cares but Travelocity just closed their reservation center in W. VA and threw 100
US tax payers out of a job. They are moving the jobs to India. Have a great vacation!!!!!!!!!!!<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

I used it for Beach Club one year. No problems or hidden fees, but
canceling may be a problem.

I think that the cancelation policies should be a larger concern. Very
often with these booking sites, you have to pay the entire stay upfront,
and the cancelation penalties can be very harsh. If you go through the
hotel directly, they will often give you a better price than
Travelocity, and you will be able to cancel up until the last moment,
and will only have to put a one night deposit to guarantee the room.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Travelocity charges $25.00 to cancel a reservation as long as its done a
few days in advance.

Hi

I think it is important for you to understand the facts

Here is the link from Travelocity's FAQ on service charges:

<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://shorterlink.com/?P5L2L7" target="_blank">http://shorterlink.com/?P5L2L7</a>


In this FAQ, Travelocity advises they may charge a service fee for
hotel bookings, but they will advise you of this fee, before you
finalize the reservation.

Unless you are buying a prepaid package, you do NOT have to prepay the
entire stay (you may want to prepay, if the price is favourable
compared to the "regular" reservation rate, but be aware of the
hotel's cancellation policy).


If you want to cancel your reservation, call the hotel direct, and
ensure you receive (and record) the cancellation number (you will not
receive a refund on Travelocity's service charge).


Travelocity is one (of many) good hotel reservation sites. Happy
surfing

Travelocity is reliable, has been in business for a LONG time, and fees
aren't hidden. I've used Expedia more often, but have also used
Travelocity. When you book the hotel, there will be a link telling you
preciesly what the cancellation policy is for that exact booking. Usually
there is a modest fee, and you are allowed to cancel (sometimes as late as
the day of arrival). There might be a small booking fee, but nothing
outrageous. If there is a fee, they will clearly tell you.
