Expedia services were quick and reliable. Hotel staff was friendly and knowledgeable, however seemed very short staffed. The only true complaint I have is the lack of resources in the room. Bed pillows were small and didn't even cover the length of the bed, do not disturb signs, hand soap, extra towels and an ice bucket were all items we had to request and wait for. Also, very few things in the kitchen, I would suggest bringing own cooking / plastic ware.
