~mmc's review of Hotwire customer service
GetHuman: So how would you sum up your experience for GetHuman's Hotwire customer community? We'll censor any IDs, numbers, or codes and any inappropriate words here out of respect to the millions of other customers using this resource.
~mmc: I was surprised at how quickly I managed to get through to customer service. I called the listed number and was transferred to the correct department very quickly. The CSR was hard to understand -- though I couldn't place her accent -- and put me on hold twice, but changed my hotel booking w*o penalty. OTOH she wouldn't refund me for a missed night due to a flight cancellation.

~mmc: For that I would say four out of five.
GetHuman: And finally- any advice for other Hotwire customers?
