I reserved and paid for room in early a.m. and drove 12 hours to get there. Got there and they had aold out of the room type and forced me to pay more for different type of room. Took over an hour to check in. Nothing in website said there was also an extra pet fee and they charged me extra for that on top of more for the room. I won't book thru Expedia again as I had no idea these things could happen once i booked and paid for a hotel room.

Check in before the night shift
We were in town for a short stay with about her couple. Both of us had check in issues 1)was checked in and they gave their room away and called us to get new keys, 2) sold out of the room type already paid for and want to charge me an upgrade for a new room. Nearly 50 minutes of wait time and manually checking rooms to find a replacement.

Very off putting that our room was just a couple away from a room that was clearly being treated for bed bugs. While checking our room for them found dirty boxspring cover, a large feather and tons of dust/dirt along baseboards.
