“Disappointed”

I have stayed at this hotel three years prior with my dog. There was no rule that I could not leave my dog in the room alone and my dog caused no problems. I booked the same hotel, took my dog as before, and was told at the front desk that I could not leave my dog in the room alone. That was just not possible so I asked if I could cancel my reservation and get a refund since I did not know the rules had changed. I was told that it was too late to cancel and receive a refund. I stayed at the Days Inn who had no problem with my dog. The next day I stopped by Econolodge to reason with them about the cancellation and was told I needed to contact Expedia about the refund and was led to believe there would be no problem with the refund when Expedia called. Well, when Expedia called them of course they balked, but Expedia convinced them to refund my money. I will not book that particular Econolodge in the future because of my dog, and I will always book through Expedia.
