Pros:

Expedia should be ashamed of themselves! The hotel is closed!!!! How do you not keep up with this đź’©? We arrived at what was supposed to be our check in time, only to find out the hotel is permanently closed. Why are you booking rooms at a hotel that is closed? You and the hotel must have đź’© for brains for letting this happen!

Pros:

Hotels.com sent me a hotel that was shut down and I had to find another room at the last minute. They act like they don't won't to refund my money but DO NOT SCHEDULE to stay at this hotel. It was shut down due to drug and poor conditions

Pros:

I cannot accurately rate this property because it was closed for business. And unfortunately, Expedia was not aware. It was VERY disheartening to pull up to the hotel, see that it is closed, & then have to scramble to find another place to stay. Then, I could not even find a phone number to call Expedia. I had to Google an actual number. Even then, I was taken to having to download the Expedia app which still did not have an actual number. Only the virtual assistant. The only actual number that could be found was under, “PissedConsumer” when googled. The only communication that could be had via the “itinerary” was a virtual assistant that was not programmed to understand when a property is actually closed for business. Once finally getting through to an actual person, she was extremely helpful, & I was able to get my money back; however was not able to get my money back for purchasing the “travel guard” which is for the hotel booking protection. Apparently, that is only for the first 15 days after purchase which makes zero sense. I am still very grateful I was able to get my money back.

Hotel is closed
Pros:

Pulled up to the hotel, which we already paid for, and it was closed. No cars, lights on in the lobby, no one there, and closed signs on all the doors. Called hotels.com and they had no idea. Still waiting for a refund. And the hotel is still listed a available on here so how are they still letting people book at a hotel that has closed up?

DON’T BOOK HERE
Pros:

The hotel was vacant upon arrival and there were 2 taped pieces of paper on the door saying closed. When you drive 3+ hours to arrive at a closed hotel, it is very infuriating!

Pros:

Booked through expedia. at front desk was told they could not honor my reservation. Worst experience ever with expedia. left the property and was on the phone for over an hour just to be told that expedia was having trouble contacting the hotel. Whe they heck would they not contact me before I travelled to this destination?

Terrible, don’t stay here. Basically no AC in the room and it was a mess. The clerk was letting everyone check their rooms before checking in because they were so bad.

Nasty and dangerous
Pros:

Room was filthy and deplorable. When I went to plug in my cellphone, dead roaches were all over the socket. There was a recent roach infestation there. Water leaked from the ac inside and outside of the room. The door locks but still has a gap when you close it. I had to move the chair in front of the door to make sure no one could bust in on me. I was so nervous about the room that I checked in shortly before midnight and was out of there by daybreak. I could not sleep a wink there. Let’s not even begin to talk about the fact that there is not an elevator and the stairs are really steep. A complete death trap! I would have had a better stay at motel 6 for less.
