Toilet would not flush properly. I had to take the lid off everytime I used the toilet and jiggle the float everytime I used it. Toilet ran all night as I could fix it. Because I prepaid through Expedia I wasn't able to get any discount. Also if you prepay your stay via Expedia you can't get the government rate which they refused me at the desk. I was staying at this location while I was on governmental business. I should have gotten the government rate. Very Disappointed!
