The property General Manager was working a double when I checked in. Expedia had really screwed up my reservation and she took the time needed to make sure I had a room and got me taken care of. After a long drive, I am grateful to her!

I arrived to be given a third floor room with no elevators working. No Internet in the room. No chatter for the desk in the room. One would think for that price these are basic things that should be available.
