I paid for a suite the first night with an extra room The extra room was ice cold. Thinking it just needing the heater turned on I turned it on and waited. The heater only blew cold air no matter how hi I turned it up. Also was checking out of hotel and had the maid go through my items trying to help herself. SHE ASSMUSED i had checked out when I was starting to move items to my car.

Room was great Expedia needs to either tell the hotel very clearly if customer has paid in advance or provide payment details in the email confirmation. Took 10 minutes to find the receipt due to wifi issues and the hotel explained that Expedia is not clear in their confirmation whether the customer has paid Expedia or if payment needs to be collected. Not the hotels problem

Stay was overall a very good experience that was tarnished by an unexpected room damage charge after checking out. After contacting the front desk, I was told housekeeping reported an iron was missing from the room. I was asked to check my luggage. After confirming I did not have the iron, I was transfered to the housekeeping supervisor's voicemail and have not yet received a response after a day and a second call to reception.
