Dana

When I arrived I was told there is an extra 18% to pay. No where else was it mentioned not on expedia. The man at the desk was very unpleasant about this. Then in the room the bed was like sleeping on a bench. Completely hard. finally in the middle of the night I realized the cheap mattress was upside down. After I nearly injured myself flipping it I could get some sleep.
