Absolutely! Here’s a version of your hotel review tailored for Expedia, where travelers appreciate concise, honest feedback with a helpful tone: --- Great Stay — Clean, Comfortable, and Welcoming We had a lovely time during our stay. The room was spotless and the bed very comfortable — perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The property felt well cared for, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The only thing missing was air conditioning, which made the room a bit warm but the room was provided with a table fan which helped. Overall, a great experience and we’d happily stay again !
