Room was good. No hair dryer. When I asked they said they ordered them 4 months ago and blamed the tariffs for not having hair dryers. That was a ridiculous statement. Expedia was less than helpful on correcting a situation that occurred. They claimed they talked to the hotel but the hotel knew nothing about a call.
