Hotel California (yea I know, wah wah waaah)

So, here I am, minding my own business, chatting away with friends and having an awesome evening. Then I get an email from Agoda, the hotel I booked is apparently full, even though it said rooms available when I booked it.

We regret to inform that your requested room at the Anaheim Plaza Hotel, Anaheim (CA) (Standard) is fully booked during the period you have selected.
Our system has been able to identify alternative hotels which have rooms available for the full period of your proposed stay at the time of sending this email:

Hi I'm Drake, Where Do You Want To Go Today

And then list a few different ones, all somehow assuming that me and my friend wanna cuddle in a single bed. So what to do, it’s been almost a week since the last one, it’s not going to get any easier to find a vacancy now. So I go to their site and look up some stuff, and then I remembered that they offered a live chat assistance service, so I tried that.

Got a response from Drake 10 seconds after the page was loaded and he fixed it. Everything. He searched for hotels around the area I wanted, found a really sweet deal, even answered my stupid questions if ‘Twin bed’ does actually mean it’s two separate beds. :p

In the end, as I had already been billed for the last room, and this one was even cheaper, I’ll get the difference back. And the dollar has gone up slightly since I booked the first room, I made money in this!! No.. Wait…

Anyway the trip is still on and I highly recommend Agoda.com for anyone looking to book hotels around the world, the site is even available in like 15 languages. (also, see Kayak.com for plane tickets)

Drake: Is there anything else I can help you with?
Pinkkis: Can I haev full T6 and 5k gold plx?

( I didn’t actually say that :p )

    I guess my gripe with hotels besides booking mishaps is that they never tell you what type of mattress you’re getting. I have slept on some “horrible” mattresses and I wish they’d tell you a brand or type (innerspring or memory foam) so you can make a better decision. Just my two cents. :)
