On the Expedia phone app, nowhere in the details did it mention that you had to supply your own bedding, so that was a surprise when we arrived. Talking with the staff, they showed me the details on the laptop version which clearly stated that you had to provide your own bedding and towels. I showed them the phone version which doesn’t mention it at all. What was going to be a relatively cheap stay, turned out to be more expensive than staying at a hotel after having to buy bedding (sleeping bags as it was a very cold night) and towels.
