Expedia False Ads, Over Charges and Sky Star Hotel in Hong Kong a Bad Boarding Room

Expedia's website advertises discounted hotel prices and then upon payment deceives and defrauds consumers charging a higher price than advertised.

As an Expedia Gold Plus member for 20 years who has traveled to 76 nations, i have never asked to be refunded for a hotel stay, that is not until my recent stay at the Sky Star Hotel, a falsely advertised bad boarding room Expedia purports and advertises as a hotel.

Travelers and consumers beware Expedia's website advertises discounted hotel prices and then upon payment deceives and defrauds consumers charging a higher price than advertised.

Please note 2 examples from Expedia.com's website as purchased:

- Pravo Hotel (Hong Kong) - July 30, 2017
Itinerary #7284048024052

$106 - discounted rate but upon checkout i was billed $115.33 = an additional $9.33 before taxes and fees.


- City Garden Grand Hotel (Makati, Philippines) - July 31, 2017
EXP-883867976
Itinerary
7283836014328

$86 - discounted rate advertised but upon checkout i was billed $93.26 = an additional $7.26 before taxes and fees.

Expedia must refund me the overcharge for both hotels in the following amounts AND give me an additional refund of 50% for LYiNG to me and consumers while charging a higher price or i will file a formal complaint with the U.S,. Attorney General and Federal Trade Commission for consumer fraud against Expedia as a believe widespread consumer fraud is occurring and a class action lawsuit in order to rectify the problem as your website has done this to me 3 times now within 3 countries (USA, Hong Kong, Philippines) in one week.

As i told Expedia below and await a full refund, preparing to file a lawsuit for consumer fraud and deceptive adverts against Expedia (who falsely advertised discounted hotel rates in California, Hong Kong and the Philippines where i recently stayed but upon checkout out at the final transaction billed me at a higher rate BEFORE the added taxes and fees were applied):

The Hotel Skylar - Kowloon Hong Kong has MANY PROBLEMS

Please refund me in FULL for the following 13 problems:

1. Upon arrival at the hotel - there was no street number on the building making it extremely hard to find and costing me more taxi fees.
2. inside the building there was no signage to all the elevators and the sign said Skylark hotel - NOT SKY STAR - causing much confusion, fear and tension for myself and my girlfriend looking for the hotel
3. Upon going up the elevator to the 14 floor, the Sky Star entrance was locked and nobody answered when we knocked and rang the bell. Only later a man came down from the 16th floor and put us in a small room.
4. The room was inadequate - toilet, shower and sink all right next to each other and hazardous to move around in
5. No hot water, no warm water - only cold water
6. Dirty sheets w/ semen on the sheet from previous guests
7. Hair on the floor - not clean
8. flies / gnats in the room
9. No toilet paper provided
10. towels are ripped and not in good condition
11. water from sink barely trickles out not flowing to wash hands
12. smoke in hallways as incense being burned in morning at 8am making it hard to breathe (even worse with my allergies)
13. No hotel front desk, nor attendant anywhere to be found

Please refund in full as a frequent Expedia user, travel writer and consumer advocate.
