Disliked: Staff & service
I couldn't find my confirmation email, so I called the hotel about my reservation before I arrived. They said they couldn't find a reservation under my name and they were fully booked, so I made another hotel reservation. At that hotel, I discovered an Expedia email that said I DID have a reservation. But when I tried to call the hotel to cancel it, I got disconnected 4 times and when I got a person, she said she couldn't hear me clearly. So I'm afraid I will have to pay for that room as well as the other hotel I ended up staying at.
