BAIT AND SWITCH Miserable Customer Service
I booked a Jetsetter room last evening w/ the reservation screen showing 2 nights available at $149/night. After booking and paying the reservation came back as 1 night at that rate. I was upset but thought I would book a 2nd reservation to fix the problem. Lo and behold it comes back with a rate $20/night higher. I called immediately - within 2 minutes only to find no one is available after 6pm. I was instructed to email their support - got a response that they can do nothing because they are another company SECRET ESCAPES. (BTW,Secret Escapes lists in their disclaimer that they are not part of the CA Travel Consumer Restitution Fund. So no protection for CA travelers) They told me to call Jetsetter whose voicemail in turn said they don't work weekends and to email customer support!! The same useless loop. Secret Escapes asked me if I had a screen shot - I didn't because of trying to remedy the situation by making a second booking. But even so, they said they have no access to reservations made through Jetsetter that they can act upon. I don't care about the Jetsetter/Secret Escapes business relationship - it should not be my concern. Jetsetter needs to know that if you are in a service business it means you are available 7 days a week and empower those people who work in service to fix a problem - not ignore it! I'm lucky if I reach someone tomorrow - Monday - but I travel on Tuesday and this is still up in the air. I will never use this service again. Strongly advise you that the aggravation is not worth the few dollars that you will save.

Thank you for your review on Jetsetter.com, we are sorry to hear about the confusion with the rates available for the sale to the Royal Sonesta New Orleans. The rate of “from $149/night” is the lowest available rate for one or more nights during a particular month or sale, but usually will not be available for all dates as rates do vary from day to day and tend to be higher during the weekends and at peak times; a standard in the hotel industry based on the volume of interest. With the sale to Royal Sonesta New Orleans we partnered with Secret Escapes, as they negotiated the rates for this particular sale directly with the hotel, once your booking is made their Customer Support team is available to assist you 24/7 with any questions or concerns. The Jetsetter Customer Support team is also available for assistance on the phones Mon – Fri from 10am – 6pm EST 1.877.JSET.USA (573-8872). Please do not hesitate with any further questions!
