Christopher

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Expedia ripped me off. They told me one price and overcharged me. They are terrible. They were more expensive than going direct. Charged me extra fees for no reason. I will never use them again they are garbage. They make it a big hassle to honor their price and make it impossible to correct. They are criminals, someone needs to make them accountable…
