I was checking out hotels for my hols, and came across one that I liked. There was no online price/availability check, instead you had to send a form. This is it below, the fields in red must be completed.
Yep - a hotel in California where I might spend one night wants my full address and phone number before it will give me a price. Do you think they would insist on these details if I rang up? Or stopped by in person? No of course they wouldn't - so why make it compulsory online? [If I'm making a booking, then OK].
Interestingly, the arrival and departure dates are not compulsory - so how can they quote price and availability if I don't fill them in?
Furthermore - when I did complete all the details it would not accept the form without I select a state/province. Like the earlier entry 'Sunderland moves to the sunshine state' - I have selected 'United Kingdom', so the state field requirement should automatically cancel.
