Hotel Reservation

I am planning to visit Vietnam, HCM City at the end of Nov. To make the trip exciting, I have planned to go to Vung Tau, a seaside town near HCM City. There are many internet hotel booking webpages around. A prominent webpage is asiarooms.com. Unfortunately, when I tried to book a hotel in Vung Tau, it keeps saying the preferred hotel was not available. While I tried other hotel in the same city, it also negates my application. Instead it recommends a Rex Hotel in Deluxe room. I was quite unhappy about the situation and turn to search for another webpage for Vietnam travel, it was www.tnktravelvietnam.com. They manage to secure a room for me in the prefered hotel without problem. The only concern is whether this travel agent is reliable. I will find out and report. They will issue hotel voucher and I will use the hotel voucher to check in. The other thing is that payment is in US$.

The other concern not relating to hotel reservation is airline. I have booked Tiger Airways to HCM City. It was reported recently that Tiger Airways is facing problem of trip cancellation and delay. Hopefully, my flight will not be affected.
