My last hotel booking had offshored their entire customer support system to a 90s style chatbot. Walk the state machine in circles kind of thing.

Booking had a real person pick up the phone, know stuff, and fix it. Not a native English speaker but still far more helpful than the software alternative.




> My last hotel booking ...

How long ago?


Couple of weeks. Picked it by distance from a conference venue instead of on more sensible grounds. Positive experience contacting booking though.
