It is not only expedia, but any of these booking sites, the service you expect is not the service you get and the businesses will cater to those who have booked directly through them. For instance if you request a room with a view, Most likely you will not get it. Because I know that our hotel sees only around 50% of the actual cost of the room rate through these booking sites, that the frills you receive will be much less. It is much, much, much better to go through the hotel. Sometimes you will have to pay a bit more, sometimes not. However you will have a higher chance of getting extras if you do.

I'm sure that they have had their problems, but I do have a hard time believing that one of the biggest travel companies is a complete scam.Thank you for your comments though, I am always open to discussion.
