We reserved a king suite on Expedia . We ended up in a handicap suite for some reason. The shower water goes all over the bathroom which is little annoying .Suggest a long drain by the shower vs a circle drain by the toilet .

Our room was well past its expiration date. The room overlooked hvac units that were loud enough to disturb sleep and had not been updated. Toilet had not been updated and was a safety hazard with its short height. This room was extremely disappointed. I wonder if Expedia sells the worn out nasty rooms.

Never use Expedia booking a room due to price gouging. Jeremy was excellent providing dining information and extremely helpful. No plates or flatware in the suites. Breakfast manager was gracious and happy to meet you each morning.
