the hotel is trashed out. the sewer system was backed up and there was no refund for the room. I had to book another hotel because of the smell. The staff said there would be a refund for the 4 nights but there was none. Pitiful experience and i'll never book oyo again.

I would give them negative stars if that were an option, and recommend that Expedia make that an option. There were bed bugs and a dirty rooms when my guys arrived, and when we they went to front desk they were not offered another room or refund which either would have been great, but again they are not worth the risk or money, stay away.
