I booked 3 nights but my flight was cancelled due to a snowstorm, so I couldn’t arrive on the first night. I called Expedia and the Holiday Inn Express to ask them to refund one night. They didn’t accept, but said the room would be available after I told them I would be late. When I arrived, they did not have any room available, having sold it. I have called Expedia and the Holiday Inn Express to get a refund or discount, but both refuse to do anything. In short: I paid for a room and they sold it, profiting twice on the room for one night. Seems like consumer fraud to me.

The only issue I noticed was the absence of breakfast. If the serving time is until xyz, there should be food available until that time. It’s not acceptable to run out of food an hour before the end of the serving time and not have it replenished.
