"Awful Odors"
Overall Score2.0/ 5
Walked in late after midnight to the stench of Marijuana. Girl at the counter almost double charged me. Shady people waking in and out mind you this was after midnight and I had an 8 year old with me. Supposed to have double beds had one king for the three of us. Everything was worn out and the heater didn't go any higher. Another heavy mildew like odor in the room. We double locked the door and left 7 hours later.

Expedia Group verifies all reviews to ensure that the customer has indeed booked on our site. To encourage customers to submit their reviews, we send an email containing a link to evaluate the hotel to which we sometimes attach a reduction or Expedia Rewards voucher to use on a future trip. We post all reviews whether they are positive or negative, to the extent that they respect our
content directives. This monitoring is automated. Any rejection is manually checked and, if maintained, notified to the reviewer by email with reasons. We do not otherwise process changes, nor reviewer contact. We de-list reviews after 4 years, other than for properties having a non-significant number of reviews.
