Bad deal

As soon as I booked it online, not realizing it wasn't through the hotel directly, I needed to cancel due to travel plans change. I was charged and was unable to cancel.

Apparently it’s on their website that the pool isn’t available but I don’t see that through Expedia so that was the main reason we booked here. The rooms are older and smaller . Heater / air didn’t work in our room when we arrived 45 minutes early and tried to check in . If we wanted a working room we had to wait but we have 4 kids under 8 year old so that was unfortunate.
