I'm looking for budget hotels in NYC, and in reading the fine print on Travelocity "Value Rate" properties, I was astonished to see the following:

"Travelocity Value Rate Policy
This property has TRAVELOCITY VALUE RATES (Tell Me More!).
If you select one of the TRAVELOCITY VALUE RATES, the deposit,
cancelation, and change policies are a little different:

+ All changes and cancelations will incur a minimum USD 50.00 penalty."

I guess Travelocity is single-handedly trying to take out the "hospitality" in the hospitality industry!

Get out of town, Travelocity... you're making yourself a resource that's good only for finding out going rates and fares in order to book elsewhere.
