Booked this hotel through Expedia and ended up needing to cancel. I called the hotel to see if I would be able to cancel. They immediately told me this would be an Expedia issue since I booked with Expedia. The woman I spoke to on the phone was extremely rude. I contacted Expedia and spoke with an agent and they said I would need to contact the hotel but the contact for the hotel wouldn't be available until Monday, my booking was a for a Saturday. They assured me I would most likely be able to get a refund. On Monday, I call the hotel again and was rudely told that I would have to contact Expedia. I contacted Expedia again and once again they told me I need to contact the Holiday Inn. This time Expedia said they would contact Holiday Inn for me. After a day, Expedia got back to me and told me that the holiday inn doesn't allow any exceptions for cancellations. I am still unsure on if this hotel or Expedia are the ones being untruthful but I would've appreciated it if the Holiday Inn had at least been respectful and kind instead of condescending whenever I called.

It was a great walk to Wells Fargo and they offered a shuttle if weather had necessitated transportation. Offers a bar and food, great if you don't want to venture downtown.
