Booked travel through Groupon will not EVER again

I viewed a deal on Groupon and several other sites. While researching (a few hours later) I received an email from Groupon with a slash through the price of $157/night to $84/night and "book now and save".

I was looking for a two bedroom condo and thought ... ok great deal Ill book

First problem - the price was not reduced they just changed the room from a two bedroom condo to a studio

Second problem- the dates were changed from the 11th check in to the 13th not the 14th

When I called to get the checkout date corrected the toll free number did not work

I tried for DAYS finally when I arrived at the hotel I attempted to just update checkout and was told I had to contact Groupon

I contacted Groupon and was told the reservation could not be changed because I already checked in (again remember I tried to contact them and the number was out of service)

Groupon said what I could do was book two more nights as this offer has a two night minimum stay. I explain I already am staying more than two nights cant you just add the one night I need

No

I had to pay $157 for two additional nights (so essentially $314 for one night) just to ensure my family was not stranded on vacation

Long story short NEVER book a vacation with Groupon. Whatever you think you will be saving with a lower price will prove to not be the case in the long run
