I booked a room with two beds, and the hotel did not provide what I reserved. Because of this, I had to pay extra to get the room I needed. Expedia also charged the full amount using my Rewards, and I still have no resolution while Expedia and the hotel “figure it out.” This is unacceptable. I would not stay here again.
