The main issue was the lack of communication to enable us to gain access to the accommodation. It was only received a couple of hours prior to arrival and only after we chased it. A number of emails were needed before we eventually got the info needed to access the property. Using the lockbox to obtain the key was also challenging.

I tried to cancel the booking as a family member had a near fatal accident so I clearly didn’t stay at the hotel. Your refusing to cancel and refund means I will never book with Expedia again. You have no heart and no consideration.
