I booked a property in Lexington, KY and after a nine-hour drive, we arrived to find no electricity at the property, due to a storm. I attempted to have a conversation with a customer service representative, but she was only interested in following her flow chart and simply couldn't secure me a refund and cancellation because she was unable to reach the property via telephone. I suspect the property's PBX phone system is electric and its battery backup power had run out. The CSR had absolutely no time for me when I offered this as a potential reason for her not being able to reach the property. I was told the reservation was cancelled and the funds would be refunded to me, after she could verify the property had no electricity. Condescension is not a characteristic that should be exercised during a CSR's phone interaction. Since the changeover to OneKeyCash, Hotels.com has become much less desirable on many levels for me.
