Reservation not found.

I got to the hotel and they couldnt find my reservation. They told me that i need to go to a different hotel since they dont have nay rooms available. After two hours they gave me a room and told me that they are not sure if i will have a room for the second noght or not. So i booked a different hotel for the next night and checked out the next morning. They refused ot give me a reciept and told me to call Expedia to get a reciept. Rooms are one star and overall the hotel is old, dirty and very unfriendly customer service. I am still waiting for my refund for the second nght that i didnt stay.
