Expedia charged me a couple hundred dollars more for my stay then the hotel would've that was disappointing as I thought Expedia was always a better deal. The hotel itself charged me all kinds of crazy fees. It was supposed to be a $60 incidental fee. Next thing I know I have a $30 charge of $44.15 charge a $5.18 charge a $10 charge. They said that you get charged daily for taxes and visitor fees. I have no idea the woman was so extremely rude at the front desk and her response to me was I suppose you think that I'm supposed to say you're right? I got the manager's email address and emailed asking what the charges were and why was I not gonna get my money back and I never got a response

Amazing breakfast! The rooms were spacious and quiet. The girl with pink hair at the front desk was exceptional! There was one evening with no hot water, but it was fixed by 10am the next day. I believe a member of housekeeping took a small medical key of mine, other than that, great stay!
