The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The bathtub was slippery though and needs some grips. The continental breakfast was very disappointing - there was only waffels and cereal, but only bowls but no plates, and only forks but no spoons or knives.

Woke up in the middle of the night with a bad headache took some Tylenol and tried to sleep. Woke up again at 2:00a with my head pounding! The gentleman at the front desk was very kind and patient. I asked for an ice pack, he made me one. Much appreciated and it helped.

Actually the stay at the hotel was fine. Dealing with Expedia really sucked. The AC was a bit noisy. It made a banging noise every time it came on. Other than that, the staff were great, friendly, and helpful. I accidentally booked the hotel that morning of our stay but booked it on the wrong date. I called Expedia, and they contacted the hotel to get permission to give us a refund. The guy I spoke with said we should get an email confirming our refund later that day. We never got an email and never got a refund. We basically had to pay twice to stay for one night. It really sucks paying twice when living on a tight, limited budget as a senior citizen. We often used Epedia for our travel plans, but never again.
