Traveler beware. Uncomfortable beds, Noisy neighbors partying in the parking lot and in front of my door plus they were slamming doors all night long which had my dogs barking and kept me awake. When i dared to complained, the office staff cancelled my prepaid reservation extension without warning. I had to not only pack and be out of the room in 30 min but had to find somewhere else to go and get an Uber in that short amount of time. I still have not received a refund for them cancelling. I have repeatedly chatted with Expedia's virtual agents trying to get a refund of my $190.00 but so far nothing. . Word of advice, if you want to actually sleep, go anywhere else. If you complain you'll get ripped off or have to wait weeks for a refund if you get one
