Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
My stay was okay, but could have been better. The shower did not drain I let staff know and they were able to fix it. Then my toilet was not flushing. Again I let staff know and they addressed the issue. I did appreciate the cleaning crew. My room was cleaned daily. My last issue was with rescheduling. My flight was canceled and was not able to check-in until the next day. I contacted the hotel and they stated I needed to contact Expedia. I contacted Expedia and they reported I had to go through the hotel. It was a struggle getting the problem resolved. A lot of back and fourth from both parties and inconsistent communication. Honestly the experience makes me reluctant of utilizing Expedia again in the future.
