"I paid for and had a confirmation, told they were booked. And I should contact expedia."
Overall score1.0/ 5
I paid in advance, had a written confirmation, called letting them know it would be a late check in. Told there was no room, go away basically. Also no parking, no concern about the screw up, no apologies, no manager on site. This was such a negative experience I couldn't tell you anything good.
