When I checked out of the motel they gave me a receipt that was about $250 cheaper than what Expedia charged me. When I talked to Expedia they said there wasn't a refund to be given and the higher price with them was final. I will not be using Expedia again. The only way I could contact them was a chat by texting. Why don't they have phone numbers listed on app or easily found on website?

Always
Stayed here last year also and both times we had such a good time. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Had an issue with our code to get in and they were there to handle it within 5 min, had a clogged toilet and it was fixed quickly. Were we’re also there for the tropical storm that hit really bad and the crew was there cleaning up afterwards.
