1/5 Terrible

Business traveller
Disliked: Staff & service
After staying at the property about 10 times, I incorrectly selected a non-refundable reservation. When I needed to change this due to a client request, neither the Novotel or Expedia were willing to change the date or provide a refund. Instead they charged me $380 for two nights I did not stay. Loyalty not rewarded; I will now stay somewhere else.
