Truly an unfortunate experience and response from the manager at this property. We had booked 3 nights at this hotel through Expedia. We discovered on the third night on the underside of the duvet cover what seemed to be a fresh blood stain. The manager refused to offer any compensation and instead changed up the story. He claimed it was a food stain and told Expedia that he was certain the stain was not there when we arrived. And therefore the stain must have come from us. If a stain is on the underside of duvet cover, how would he be so sure it wasn’t there before our arrival. It was clear to me that the guests before turned over the duvet cover to hide the stain and that housekeeping clearly did not see the stain and simply failed to wash the cover. Sorry this was truly disappointing. More shocking that manager responded the way he did. I’m an excellent traveler through Expedia and have never issued a complaint. Buyer beware with this hotel.
