This booking experience with Lauren could not have been any better! My budget and desired locations were taken into account and I really appreciated the hotel options proposed to me. Lauren was open to any and all questions I had and I appreciate her taking the time to respond in detail. She made my life a whole lot easier and I am looking forward to booking more hotels/trips/ activities with Lauren!

She did an excellent job. All I did was tell her where I was going and the times I would be there and she did everything else. Gave me a few options in my range to choose from and that was it. I couldn’t have asked for an easier booking.
