The check-in date was incorrect, due to auto reset in Expedia website (or user error). The motel honored the rate when we arrived at the end of a 10-day trip.

I applied for a refund couple times already because the motel was closed and I was unable to stay there. However, I have not yet received any response. This situation is unacceptable. Please process the refund immediately.I expect your prompt attention and resolution of this matter without further delay.
