More than 12,000 Washington consumers will receive refunds through a $750,000 settlement with Lexyl Technologies and Bookonline.com, resolving allegations that the companies deceptively tacked on unnecessary fees when people booked hotel rooms online.

“Travelers were looking for deals and instead were saddled with extra fees they didn’t need. Our consumer protection work continues for Washington families who just want and deserve honesty in their transactions.” – AG Brown
