Expedia and the hotel not fair at all. Due to unfortunate cut I had to cancel my trip last minute, I called to cancel on the phone , using the app and called the hotel to cancel right way. Hotel agreed to cancel and only charge me one night but now Expedia is saying I have to pay the full 4 nights trying to blame the hotel.

Friendly staff in all areas of the hotel we visited, spa, front desk, restaurant, bellmen, etc! Our Spanish isn’t the best but almost everyone spoke English so we were able to communicate without feeling judged. The room itself was a little dated: view was of a parking lot ( to be expected I guess with so many other tall buildings around), shower door didn’t close all the way but we were able to overlook them because we only had an overnight stay.oh and the bed was comfortable!
