Booking in did not go well. Its seems that when the people at the property know that you booked through Expedia, they give you any average room that is outdated, or in poor condition. I had to query the room allocation the next and the staff at the reception said that their was a mistake made. this is not the first time something like this happens. I get the feeling that most properties have a pool of rooms that are put aside for people who book through websites like Expedia. So, these rooms will be very far away from the amenities etc. I was not happy but it was fixed after the fact. This should not be happening,.
