I’m asking again how i go about getting my refund ##### Chad Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nadine Ruby Ruthlin Nov 24, 2022 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff was friendly and helpful, the property needs to be painted, the pool was full of leaves, the room had no Kettle, not even a little fridge, no hand soap, no small shower gel, The front desk could not even find them at times. In the advertising the room it mentions breakfast included this was not the case and i am very much upset about this fall advertising. ##### Nadine Ruby Ruthlin Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Vincent Feb 10, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The pics of the property are misleading. The rooms are very basic. Dated and sparse. I arrived at 3pm and the room was not ready. I had to wait until 5pm as the cleaners were out. I never saw any cleaners and my room was never freshened for the 4 days. There was also never anyone at the front desk. Never! Had to clean hair out of the drain pipe in order for shower to drain. There was a strong smell of marijuana coming from rooms, even though it was a no smoking property. No soap was provided so I had to walk down the street at 10pm looking for some. It really was a bad experience. I was warned but had booked beforehand and the booking was nonrefundable. I'm not one to complain and I've stayed in some unusual places but I will never stay here again. ##### Vincent Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tara-Mahalia Sep 13, 2025 ##### Tara-Mahalia Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Zinae Apr 17, 2025 ##### Zinae Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Tamara Nov 10, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Tamara Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Harry Nov 14, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities ##### Harry Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sugar Bay Barbados - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastings-Hotels-Sugar-Bay-Barbados-All-Inclusive.h10023253.Hotel-Information) > > [Gallery Hotel Art - Lungarno Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Florence-Hotels-Gallery-Hotel-Art-Lungarno-Collection.h14614.Hotel-Information) > > [Pet-friendly Hotels in Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d178288-tPetfriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Abidah by Accra - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Oistins-Hotels-The-Abidah-By-Accra-Adults-Only.h21962411.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in New York](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d178293-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Sands Barbados All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Worthing-Hotels-The-Sands-Barbados-All-Inclusive.h12637259.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Bliss Barbados](https://www.expedia.ca/Worthing-Hotels-The-Royal-Bliss-Barbados.h80368508.Hotel-Information) > > [Millennium Hotel and Conference Centre Gloucester London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Millennium-Gloucester-Hotel-London-Kensington.h523228.Hotel-Information) > > [Leith Court Beachfront Apartments by RedAwning](https://www.expedia.ca/Worthing-Hotels-Leith-Court-Beachfront-Apartments.h17149896.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sands Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Worthing-Hotels-Coral-Sands-Beach-Resort.h4024474.Hotel-Information) > > [Avenue Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Avenue-Motel.h16787598.Hotel-Information) > > [Butterfly Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Oistins-Hotels-Butterfly-Beach-Hotel.h118715.Hotel-Information) > > [Coconut Court Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastings-Hotels-Coconut-Court-Beach-Hotel.h852938.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Bridgetown, Barbados](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastings-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Bridgetown.h4071718.Hotel-Information) > > [The Soco Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastings-Hotels-The-Soco-Hotel.h6456511.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Waterloo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kitchener-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Waterloo.h8420223.Hotel-Information) > > [Golden Sands Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Oistins-Hotels-Golden-Sands-Hotel.h7218.Hotel-Information) > > [Yellow Bird Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Lawrence-Gap-Hotels-Yellow-Bird-Hotel.h1287831.Hotel-Information) > > [Savannah Beach Club Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastings-Hotels-Savannah-Beach-Club-Hotel-Spa.h527642.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Disneyland® Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Disneyland-Resort-Hotels.0-l6025613-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Windsor (YQG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yqg/calgary-to-windsor) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Chicago (ORD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/ord/halifax-to-chicago) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Port-au-Prince (PAP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/pap/toronto-to-port-au-prince) > > [Flights from Vienna (VIE) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/vie/yyz/vienna-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Nice (NCE) to Naples (NAP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/nce/nap/nice-to-naples) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Rome](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Fiumicino-Leonardo-Da-Vinci-Intl.d5194566.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Inglewood](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Inglewood.d8192.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Whirlpool State Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Whirlpool-State-Park-Niagara-Falls.d6066065.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Isla Holbox](https://www.expedia.ca/Isla-Holbox.d6046459.Destination-Travel-Guides)
