Without full disclosure.

I remember my wife's uncle covered our timeshare fee when we purchased it from him for our week in Hawaii. He probably didn't have to do that, but he is a stand up guy even though he had no knowledge of it either.

until they are caught like trump.

I pitched a bitch even though it was a temp charge, left a very nasty rate on the booking site, the games they play.

About time these travel sites clamped down on that bullshit.

the real rate. ANNOYING

but many times they reserve "special" rooms for those low rates. Rooms that have been flooded, have "funny" smells in them, or leftover chalk outlines still visible on the floor. I've had a few pull crap like that, and these weren't discount chains either! Then I have to go back to the desk, ask for a different room, but they seem to be "out" of those discounted rooms at the moment. That's when I usually get back in the car and drive someplace else.

I don't even want to think of air travel given all of the poorly disclosed or confusing multiple add-on fees that makes comparing airline rates pretty much impossible or an incredible ordeal ... The last time I air-traveled was about 15 years ago before they started all that crap.

Now to read that hotels and motels are doing this crap -- now I have no appetite for spending a week or long weekend somewhere.

And then there are more and more of us that are adverse to long-distance travel because of the greenhouse gasses -- a 1500 mile trip to San Diego and back from Minneapolis (3000 miles roundtrip) causes more GHG emissions than a sub-Saharan African country does per-capita in 1.8 years. Or 2.6 months from a European Union country per capita.

So yeah, travel industry, play your crafty little games, you fuckheads. And don't tell me about your phony carbon offsets.

You hate to travel so you don’t travel. Viola! Problem solved.
