Check in was great friendly staff. Very clean common area and clean room. Bed closest to a/c squeaks every time you turn over. Room 418. Only ate breakfast one day as our stay was overnight. I really hate to say, but breakfast sucked. No eggs. Only meat option was chicken sausage no orange juice at all

Trying to get someone at Expedia to help me with a change in the reservation was extremely frustrating. There is not a customer service number to call and the automated responses could not help me. Tried to deal with the hotel directly but they could not help since I booked with Expedia. Will not bookwith Expedia again.
