Staff told my wife the hotel was full and would not honor our Expedia reservation. They later denied this and refused my refund. All this from Expedia even though I used them to get her another room just down the road 10 minutes later. Very disappointed long term customer of both.

The breakfast was amazing. The room we stayed in had mold on the ceiling and we were told there was a couch/chase lounge in the room. There was not we booked the room for 5 people (3 teenage boys) and two parents. We ended up with a roll away bed because there was not a couch or chase lounge in the room. The room was also not big enough for a roll away bed so it was in the entry way of the room. We made it work and overall our stay was fine.
