Upon check-in, they downgraded my room, but did not tell me! They are allowed to switch room spec under Expedia T&C, but did not make me aware of this until I'd been in 2 very poorly-maintained inadequate rooms. Only then did they confess that they had a room of the spec that I'd booked available. Why didn't they give me that to start with? Why weren't they upfront? Why were the first 2 rooms so shabby?

I've stayed at the Del several times, Beach House, the Views and now Shore House. People above us were partying hard. I'm not one to call in a noisy complaint, but the racket kept us up til 1am, even with 2 calls to the front desk. They comped us 2 days valet. Should have comped us the night IMHO.
