First off Eff Expedia as they wouldn’t refund me. I spent over $120 on what was a 7.2 rating for this room. I pull up and immediately I notice the parking lot is full of drug addicts and no parking as advertised. Shirtless homeless people all sitting outside doing drugs. I was scared to get out of my car and immediately took off. Expedia would not refund me as they said it’s the hotels policy. DoNOT book here. Scam artists
