I waited 30-minutes to get my hotel key, mi d you o paid in full on expedia bit was told my reservation wasn't showing on the hotel system. I had to waot for the manager on duty that had stepped out and had to be called to come.back to the hotel to over ride the system. My room smelled like urine and socks. The bed was comfortable especially after a 14 hour car ride. This was my 2nd time and now after this experience i will choose a different property next time.
