We booked a stay at The DeLand Hotel for the night of July 4, 2025, via Expedia, expecting a relaxing experience. Unfortunately, it was anything but.
When we arrived just before 6 PM, we were shocked to find signs on the doors stating the hotel was closed until July 5th. No prior notice was given. After calling the hotel directly, someone was sent to unlock the doors and let us in. We later learned we were the only guestsâthe hotel had accidentally left the booking system open.
That night, we endured:
No working A/C (central system was turned off).
Ongoing overnight construction on the floor aboveâlikely to repair water damageâcausing noise throughout the night.
Fire doors left open for workers, raising safety concerns, especially as we had our child with us.
No access to amenities: the on-site bar and restaurant were closed, and the complimentary wine offer was void.
No staff on-site at checkout the next morningâno way to voice concerns directly.
Expedia tried to mediate with the hotel, but the management refused any compensation. We paid for a full-service experience and received the bare minimum, under unacceptable conditions. This experience ruined our night and left us exhausted and frustrated.
I would avoid this hotel. This was not a one-off inconvenience; it was a clear display of mismanagement, neglect, and disregard for guestsâ comfort and safety. If this is how they operate behind closed doors (literally), I would never trust them with another stay.
