Buyer beware - do your homework!
I used Jetsetter's services for 2 separate hotel bookings, based in part on the invitation of a fabulous rate and also on the images displayed of the room and hotel. The first booking was at the Island Hotel in Newport Beach and I made sure to call them to confirm the type of room and its location, as in the view from the room. This property was very good. The second property was the Normandie Hotel in LA, which was a joke, or the joke was on me for not making that phone call to the hotel prior to checking in. The only small window in the room faced DIRECTLY, did I say directly, to the large brick wall of the building next door. Had I known this, I would not have booked regardless of the rate, or at least upgraded to another room. With the understanding that cheap rates do not always reflect quality rooms, it was disappointing to see that Jetsetter was assured rooms of quality - based on the photos from the Normandie - but that the guest MUST do their own homework and confirm whether you will be facing a brick wall, or not... I sent an email to the GM of the hotel, which received no response. There I go again with my expectations... Buyer beware, do your homework!
