Because of a outgoing flight change we needed to move our La Quinta stay forward one night. The hotel couldn't make that change because the reservation was made by a "3rd party" who would be paying them. I was told that moving my stay forward one night was no problem for the La Quinta Inn, but told me that I needed to contact Expedia directly to make the change.
I tried unsuccessfully to reach a Expedia on line, or a representative by phone ahead of our planned stay but was unable to do so. I could not find a phone number to call, or when on line for 2+ hours during a two day period, I was unable to make the change or cancel the reservation that we had PAID for. It's possibly a tech savvy 18-year old could have done so, but I was unable to. As often as I've used Expedia or Hotels.com in the past for hotels, flights and auto rental reservations, I've never had to make a change. The lesson you've taught me is to avoid a "3rd party" concerning future reservations. I do not wish lose precious vacation or work time while away, trying to make a itinerary change or a cancellation. This reservation proved too costly.
