Anyone else have this problem? Anyway it's not a big deal -- I'm just going to have my bank take care of it... but you can imagine how fucking pissed I was... Actually I should probably do some more investigation and maybe take further action. Just wondering if anyone else had these problems and where it is safe to order online rooms through...

Lemme tell ya a story.
A couple months ago... I went online to book a room at a respectable hotel downtown, so I could take my fiance' out for the night w/o any interferences. I booked a room, and confirmed it. I called to confirm at the hotel... they had no clue what I was talking about, and informed me that they were booked, and had no rooms available.
I canceled my online reservation, and it charged me $15.00.
Then I tried a different hotel... The same fucking thing happened!!!!! I called the hotel with my receipt and bitched them out, until they gave me a room.
This put me out approx. $700.00 for a few days until the credit showed up back on my card.
Needless to say, I will not book online anymore. It's more hassle than it's worth.
