This isn't the fault of the hotel, this is just reflecting that if someone cannot make it to their reservation (due to flight/car rental cancellation) booking from the hotel directly would be beneficial, booking through Expedia they could not help me make changes to my reservation, and I lost the money for 1 day of the reservation for never having been there

Cool hotel but we got an ugly room. The facility looks cool but the room and toilet weren't that clean. I was lured into this by the pictures of the externals and the room looked better in the picture.
