Expedia doesn't include what type of room I booked in confirmation email. Goodbye expedia. Got put in a strange room by utility closet with staff always in the way. 1 bed instead of 2 which we needed. Room had strange bathroom where shower water just goes everywhere. Nice location, but have stayed at nearby hotels that are much better.

Staff was friendly. Upon arrival we always check the room before bringing our belongings in. At this hotel the door was ajar. Although the room appeared clean we went back to the front desk told them and requested another room, which they did. Prior to going out I checked the windows and they were all unlocked. The following morning we discovered ants in the bathroom. All of these things were reported when we checked out.
