We never stayed at the property because your company screwed us over with the date change the date due to room being sold out, pushed us back one day. We immediately called to help us find another hotel. Your company did not help us did not give us a refund. We were not even in town for the day of that day so we wasted $346 because your company sucks once again. I will never use Expedia. You guys don’t care about your customers long time loyal customers you suck.
