So Im off to Singapore and needed a hotel room. My normal hotel was full, so I decided to try something "new" and perhaps "fun". I booked an Agoda "mystery deal" .. which is marketed as a way to get a great deal in a good hotel. What it turned out to be was a room WITH NO WINDOW in a YMCA hotel. When I complained that while I had been prepared to take a risk on the hotel, selling me a room with no window without indicating that in the description was pretty much below the belt, I get a response from customer service firstly saying that they had indicated it had no window - and when I said that was just not true, then asking me for a screenshot of the screen before I made the booking. They did not indicate where I would get the time-machine to enable me to go back in time to a screen earlier than the one I have now (it was 4 days ago after all, you don't see the bit about it having no window until you actually print out the voucher!). Talk about digging yourself deeper into a hole.....
Anyway, I've seen these deals for years and always wondered if they were actually any good. Now you can avoid then without having to worry about that possibility.... I guess at least I might not have too much traffic noise with no window!!!!
