An Expedia issue. When I booked I did not indicate a ground floor room. My error. In order to make a change at time of check in I received a much smaller, not quality room at the same cost because of Expedia being a third party and not allowing a decrease in cost. Lesson learned as next time I will book directly with hotel at a probable lower rate than you offer per their staff.

fine for a couple of days.

typical breakfast of cold cereals, muffins, etc., but adequate for 2 days. this is a two wing building, one wing is too close to hwy 1, a noisy environment. request the area nearest the office. the pool, spa and fire ring area is nice.
