Had to cancel reservation. Called Forest City Inn to cancel. Was informed that since reservation was made thru Expedia, I had to cancel thru them. Expedia representative told me I had to cancel thru Forest City. Again, I called Forest City and was told to cancel with Expedia and again Expedia told me to cancel with Forest City Inn. At that point I just said forget it!
