The man at desk was hrlpful and checked us in half hour before check in time. The cleaning lady was extremely rude and they only gave us 2 towels instead of 3. Which we were 3 in our party. She asked you guys need more towels in a very rude way. No towels to dry our hands, no washcloths, no bucket for ice. All bad.

On my second day, the Hotel did not have any towels for the bathroom. I complained to front desk and then to the cleaning people and management, and they apologized but said the Hotel sent all towels for cleaning and mis calculated. On my second day, I had to use my bed sheet and toilet paper to dry myself after the shower. This is not acceptable and I believe I should be reimbursed for that second night. First time in my life that I stay at a hotel that has no towels for the bathroom. Absolutely upset and Expedia should stay behind and reimburse me for the second night. The people at the hotel are aware of my complaint
