Expedia staff was terrible. Couldn't help with my needed rebooking, said it would take 3 days to check with their managers to see if I can move. Will always book with hotels directly - this was a total waste of my time and effort. expedia is such a waste of time!

Perfect stay for The Polar Express! Friendly staff! Great breakfast! Parking garage says it’s $64 for the night but use your phone number to enter and then ask the front desk for a garage parking pass and you will only get charged $35. No food at restaurant on site.
