I wonder how would pointshound.com (and New World Hotel) react if somebody actually would book this non-refundable "special offer"?

Thanks OP for sharing!
I booked a week for me and my entire family! Totally worth the 1,000 Delta miles.

Thanks OP. I'll be on layover, so only need a day room, but they're letting me have it for the same price! I always marvel at how people find deals like this. Right up there with Yinzer and chokdee.

So hard to find a good hotel with a shared bathroom these days. Everything has gone en-suite which is so impersonal. I'd much rather pay a premium for the possibility of walking in on some stranger while showering.

Always looking for the breakout amenity that distinguishes one property from the rest. "Please, sir, no need to stand!"

Just read some reviews: this isn't a hotel, it's a brothel.

They will probably not allow to cancel and insist the client keeps this obvious error booking
