Terrible pillows ruined our night as there was no choices for a thinner pillow - only very thick pillows that gave both of us neck aches next day. Noisy on main road (trucks vibrate the room).

It was a Terrible experience with Expedia even tho I saved a few dollars. I couldn’t get assistance from Expedia compounded with heavy rain during an evening check in. I ended up paying an extra night upfront just so I can stayed away from the heavy rain during my stay as it was unsafe to drive.

There was plenty of room for parking. When I arrived at reception I was told to fill out a form with all my details which was time consuming, I booked through expedia and Ive never had to do this before. Staff communication was minimal at best and kind of unfriendly. The room had all the amentie. The bathroom was very good with plenty of room.
