Disliked: Amenities
There was 0 microwave, the mini fridge didn’t work, my bed had a duvet with no duvet cover. Instead of a duvet cover they put an additional top sheet over the duvet. There wasn’t a fitted sheet on the bed, it was a tucked in top sheet. That means there were THREE top sheets on my bed. One as the base sheet, one as the regular top sheet, and one as the duvet cover. Naturally, it wasn’t a comfortable sleeping experience.

I want to start by saying the front desk staff was very kind and competent. I also had a brief interaction with housekeeping when we passed in the hall and they were friendly as well. That said, I spent about 10 minutes in my "premier" room and left. I've never walked out of a hotel before but this one was old, dingy, depressing, and the "balcony" was dark and felt unsafe. I recognize I did not book 5 star accommodations, but I also would expect a level of quality from a large company such as Expedia. I wish I hadn't already given them and the hotel my money, and will be thinking twice before trusting this site again.
