Hotel had not had air conditioning for four days but did not tell anyone making reservations until they arrived. Had to find another hotel in the middle of the night because it was not habitable in the summer heat. Very unprofessional.

I reserved this hotel for my husband one night at Washington DC. He arrived at DC little after 10:00pm, he was at the hotel around 11:00pm. At check in, he was told the room he will be in doesn’t have an AC, he is welcomed to cancelled his reservation, and he has to call Expedia/ Hotel.com to get his money back. He asked since it is 11:00pm and it will be hard for him to get another hotel at that time, if he can get a discount, the staff brush him off and told him to call Expedia/ hotel.com. This is unacceptable, they knew he is new in town, and it is hard to get another hotel at that time. Very disappointed about the overall experience.
