Hi DebiWe noticed you was a No Show as your key was still in the after hours safe. How ever we sent 2 text messages 1 to say your room is ready and then the 2 text was the late code to the safe. We also have our afterhours number on the reception door where the safe is. What you need to do is contact Expedia about the refund.
