Last night around 11:30pm I made a reservation, but after I completed it I noticed it changed the intended location. I was trying to make the reservation for Salt Lake City, but it was done for Ames in Iowa. We called the hotel and they told we need to fix this problem with expedia. Once I call expedia they told me: Alright. As I see, the hotel policy states, "The room type and rate selected are non-refundable. Should you change or cancel this reservation for any reason, your payment will not be refunded." Now They have stolen me vile, for the two sides washed their hands in the matter

The first room they tried to put us in, the a/c didn't work, plus the bathroom door would stick on the floor when trying to close it. It wouldn't close all the way. The second room had the same problem. Finally, the third room was okay. The a/c worked and the shower was good. The quality of the entire room, in my opinion, was sub-par. I won't stay in another Red Roof Inn.
