Knocturnal Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 http://www.freep.com/article/20100923/BUSI...close-its-doorsI thought that it would be very important for the individual to be aware of this property's status, if he/she isn't already. Has a scenario like this been played out before, and if so, what was the final verdict? Just curious... Link to comment
nick5 Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Wow,, hope the bidder gets your message. So good of you to post this information. Cheryl ps,, we stayed at the Omni on a few PRICELINE wins. They always treated us great and had an excellent shuttle service to any area downtown location. Link to comment
Rick Breckler Posted October 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 I very much appreciate you guys looking out for me here. Here's how this played out:Knocturnal messaged me on 09/29 to let me know about the news that the Omni was closing on 10/12, 2 days before our reservation. I contacted Omni's customer service, and they assured me that the reservation would be honored, but the hotel may be operating under a different name. Something about their response gave me little confidence that they knew what they were talking about, though.So I've been occasionally checking Omni's website with my reservation #. Sure enough, 2 days ago (10/06), the reservation showed as canceled on their website. They never contacted me to let me know (and still haven't). I called them about a refund, and they said I would need to contact Priceline. Priceline said they would contact the hotel about the reservation. I heard back after 2 days that Priceline would refund the money. I reserved another priceline room instead.A big thank you to both Knocturnal and nick5 for contacting me about this! In short, Omni...bad, Priceline...good. Link to comment
