Disliked: Staff & service
We were unable to stay that night and the hotel refused to transfer the booking to the following night, or to refund. Expedia did try to change the booking but to no avail. Direct communication with the hotel was poor, with their phone breaking up or unanswered. Their unwillingness to change the booking themselves led to a protracted to-and-fro between them and Expedia. They put their own unhelpful procedures before the needs of their pre-paid guests.
