~Lisa'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.
~Lisa: Waited for over ** minutes to speak to someone about the hotel that was picked for us which is disgusting & going to ruin our trip because I'm here for a conference, extended my stay to bring my kids but there are * days they have to be on their own. Was under the impression there was a pool, gym & rooftop bar. Everything is under construction so none of it is available. The room smells, there's water damage on the ceiling which is peeling & stains all over the rug. My kids are not going to want to hang out here while I have to go to my conference & I don't blame them. Back to the call, waited over ** min & finally hung up after no one answered. Will NEVER use hotwire again & will be sure to tell everyone I know not to either

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

GetHuman: Well there you have it. Some useful feedback and words from ~Lisa taken from his Hotwire customer service problem that occurred on November 17th, 2017.
