Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Leah May 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Communication Extremely disappointed. Stayed here back in January and had a great experience. However, this time when I arrived around 10:30pm the door was locked. Knocked but no answer. Messaged but no answer. Phoned several times but no answer. I knew they had children so was reluctant to ring the doorbell to the main house but finally did, twice. No answer. Ended up having to find a hotel room kind of nearby. The next morning the host apologized and mentioned something about calendars not syncing. He refunded about half of what the hotel room cost me. When I messaged twice asking to cover the full amount of the hotel (that I never should have had to find) I was ignored. ##### Leah Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Best Western Plus Cambridge Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kitchener-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Cambridge-Hotel.h574485.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Hudson](https://www.expedia.ca/Hudson-Hotels.d181940.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Homewood Suites by Hilton Waterloo/St. Jacobs](https://www.expedia.ca/Kitchener-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-By-Hilton-WaterlooSt-Jacobs.h7757367.Hotel-Information) > > [Hard Rock Hotel London Ontario](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Hard-Rock-Hotel-London-Ontario.h112144211.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Tampa](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aTPA-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Element Toronto Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Element-Toronto-Airport.h41815408.Hotel-Information) > > [Townhouse w Rooftop in Burlington](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Townhouse-W-Rooftop-In-Burlington.h91634913.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Toronto Vaughan](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Toronto-Vaughan.h1585086.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Wedding Venues in Thailand](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Thailand-Wedding-Hotels.0-0-d178-tWeddingHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Home for 6, many amenities added.
