8.8/10 Excellent! (1,277 reviews)
"staff and service were good, but the system was inconvenient. For example, it is very inconvenient for a hotel to not give an invoice when checking in or checking out because the guest made a reservation through Expedia and they do not know the room rate. This is what makes guests anxious."
