Find 3 Star Hotels in Coudersport, PA from SAR 496

"Very clean and comfy sitting room, and comfy mattresses. Nice place to stay and well located. One wrinkle that we thankfully were able to overcome (with the owner’s eventual help) was that they attempted to charge us extra per person for linens(!). After paying plenty per night on Expedia for a “luxury” suite, we were shocked at this request, especially when the Expedia listing specifically said that linens were included. It felt like gouging and bait-and-switch. Apparently the owners aren’t happy with the money they net from Expedia, but that’s something they’ll need to work out on their own, without attempting to squeeze guests without full disclosure upfront. Hopefully they’ll add “Linens Not Included” in caps at the top of their Expedia listing and what the extra fee is. Or better yet, just include linens and raise the room price if they have to. Good news is that the owners in the end waived the attempted extra fee. And the place was nice and totally met our needs. But the exchange felt a bit gaslighty (eg owner said “some people miss that in the Expedia listing”, which is exactly the opposite of what happened - there was nothing to miss). My impression is that a better rate (for the owners and hopefully for guests too) could be obtained by calling the property directly, outside of Expedia, but I’m not sure of that. We liked the place a lot, and the owners did make the right call when questioned. So we would recommend it to fellow travelers!"
