Washington Plaza Hotel

Washington Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good
"The property was conveniently located in the downtown area. The hotel staff was friendly and there was ample parking. Our biggest frustration was that the property was listed on Expedia as offering FREE PARKING. On our arrival, the Hotel staff informed us that the parking fee was $41 per night. We were not the only guests that made a reservation at this hotel via Expedia for the Free Parking. Another guest who had checked in just before us had also booked the hotel via Expedia and selected the hotel like us for the location with FREE Parking. Neither the Hotel or Expedia accepted responsibility for this error. As a result, we checked out early and plan to never book thru Expedia again."
