The pool has been out of service since August, yet there’s no mention of this on Expedia. The night receptionist was unkind, which added to my disappointment. Additionally, the use of plastic plates, cups, and cutlery diminishes the experience. While the room was satisfactory, the internet was slow, and the TV couldn't connect to YouTube. It's clear that Expedia should take the time to verify the facilities, as Equus shouldn't be classified as a hotel; it’s more like a motel. I simply don't understand how it has such a high rating.
