Would like answers

When we arrived, we were an hour early for check in, but the staff checked us in. They were very friendly.what I did not understand or still do not understand, is why I was charged a separate 200 dollar fee on top of the remaining balance, that was never explained and Never received a receipt explaining the charges. The room air conditioner did not work the entire stay.

I think the free breakfast was not very good. I hated that we didn’t have a bathtub like properties state that the room had when I booked it. But overall it wasn’t a bad place to stay.

Expedia was the cause for our poor stay, I will never book through Expedia again, and am telling my retired peers how they "legally" scammed me. We were totally mislead on our room which overlooked no water, just the parking lot. I sure paid enough money to see the ocean, unfortunately we just drove back home today with an occasional look of the sound on NC 12. My wife an I tried to walk over the dune to see the ocean but neither of us were physically able to walk over the dune to see the ocean at this Holiday Inn.
