Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
I walked into my room and turned the lights on and only 1 overhead light was working, I went to open the room darkening curtains the rest of the way and neither side would move because they were broken at the top, the room also had a terrible odor. I went back to the desk and asked for another room, the curtain to be fixed and odor gone or cancel my reservation. The man at the desk spoke to the maintenance manager and he came and stapled the curtain shut and sprayed the room. Even though it was time for the maintenance manager to leave he made an attempt to fix the issues. The smell did not go away but I spayed some air freshener and was only in there at night. The guest in the room next door had a dog that would bark early in the morning; 5:30. Hopefully the room has been throughly clean and repaired for the next guest.

Stay somewhere else.

When we arrived at the hotel we were given a key to a room. When we entered the room the beds weren’t made, the bedding was piled on a table. I got downstairs and notify the front desk who after 40 mins finds another room for us which was only one bed and one sofa bed when I booked 2 queens. We pull the sofa bed out there is candy wrappers and candy all on it with again no sheets anywhere in the room. Go back downstairs to ask for sheets which in turn took another 15 mins. Get the sheets and the lady left again to get pillows & comes back and said she had to “make” some. By make, she stuffed sheets in a pillow case! There is no blow dryer in the room, coffee pot with zero coffee, tv didn’t work in the bedroom or the living room. Air conditioner only worked in the bedroom so left it hot where the teens were sleeping on the sofa.

Booked two rooms via Expedia for my family to take a break from driving. Arrived (with 6 others) and was told twice no rooms were available despite my reservation. Had to drive 4 hours to find another hotel. Hotel claims I was a no-show; Expedia refuses to refund, blaming the hotel. I have GPS, phone records, and witnesses proving I was there. Poor service, unprofessional—avoid Expedia if you want a reliable booking. Just use AI now to find the best deals, Expedia's existence is pointless as they add no value or security to your bookings. [Fades to darkness.... HA!]
