The vent from the microwave is greasy and it stinks up the whole place. I also couldn’t get any warm water to shower so I couldn’t shower not to mention figuring out how to turn on the shower was a hassle. Bed was pretty hard as well.

I called to check-in, and they notified me that they were a satellite hotel, so I had to pick up my keys at their main hotel. I didn’t mind this, but I did mind that when I showed up they said they could not find my reservation. It was at this time that they canceled my reservation all together and told me I could upgrade and stay at their hotel. I didn’t want that so I asked for my refund. I politely told them to please just give me my refund, and not make me have to waste my time to get my money back. They said okay, but they never did, and I had to waste my time calling customer support to get my money back. I understand having to drive to a different location to get some keys, but to waste someone’s time especially when they’re being cooperative with you is just sleezy.

I expected a hotel and ended up with some kind of Airbnb without any explanation. We got "hotel" and no one was there. After spending an hour trying to figure out what was going on. We have to drive all the way to hotel circle to get a freaking key card to get in. They have you a list of chores to do before you leave like clean up, take out the trash, etc. if I wanted an Airbnb, I would have gotten an Airbnb.

This is not a hotel! It’s more like a Airbnb they shouldn’t be on Expedia. To drive to different location just to get a key to get inside it’s so inconvenient. That I even canceled n got a different hotel. They should put that in there bookings. Don’t reserve here it’s not a Hotel

That was scary

Nobody ever acknowledged me, it was an apartment space and I didn’t know what to do. Thankfully the motel I had to find honored my reservation
