Best Western Oak Meadows Inn

"I booked this hotel thinking it was only 4 miles to Ridgefield, WA (as that is what Expedia indicated) after I booked I realized it was over an hour drive. It was a non-refundable booking, because I booked the same day, but IIeah L. said she would refund me due to my situation. I thought that was really kind of her as they did not have to do that. I will totally be staying there in the future based on this customer service. I did have to work through Expedia to get a refund, but they totally honored it as well. I am pleased with Expedia as well as the hotel. Thank you!!"
