You never checked in, and you need to contact Expedia for your refund, I have not charged Expedia.You were upset that you could not check in at 10:40am, after you made the booking online only 15 minutes beforehand and demanded that you be able to check in immediately, even though I advised that check-in is not until 2pm unless organised prior, and your aggressive and rude behavior will not be tolerated at the Black Marlin Motel.

Needs a bit of an update
Posted 23 Jan 2024 on HotelsOvernight stay small hotel with 10 rooms. The rooms have a double bed however plenty of room for a queen or king bed. Shower press was good but the bathroom needs refreshing and the door wouldn’t close. Fly screen on bathroom window was broken and unable to close window. No hairdryer. The benches and side table are new and look good. Not many places to select from in this location.
The lady was very friendly at reception.

The lady that was there was so helpful. Our car had broken down and she did everything she could do for us.

Our room was more of a compartment. Definitely wouldn't sleep 3 comfortably. Gap under the door. A/C takes ages to kick in. Bathroom barely big enough to turn around in. Bed very firm and small. No extra pillows. Items like tissues, bathroom bin, more than one small soap and some bench space would be appreciated. Reception was friendly enough.

Not quite sure how this place managed to be listed with hotels.com - what a horrible place. From the moment you drive up to the place with it's delapidated signs and potholed drive, disinterested check-in staff and dated rooms it doesn't inspire confidence. The only plus was that it was clean inside the room - but the bed was old with worn sheets, useless pillows and the whole place left you feeling tacky. Definitely not worth the money to stay here.

It was relatively clean and safe but somewhat small. As it was only for the night, it was satisfactory.
