Great location

Cons:

There was a musty smell in the room. It was better after air conditioning and fan ran for a few hours but never totally went away.

It worked for what’s needed.
Pros:

It was available

Cons:

It was basically in a parking lot next to a car wash and the neighbor kid that rode his dirt bike back forth in his yard. the Toilet seat was loose. TV wouldn’t work and was dated technology with the screen deformed.

Canceled my reservation in violation of Booking.com policy
Cons:

When I arrived at 5:30 pm to check in, I was told by the front desk that they had canceled my reservation because they didn't have a credit card on file for me. They were NOT SUPPOSED to have a credit card on file, I booked with Booking.com, who had my credit card info. Per the booking terms, I would pay at Boarders at check in. Had I not shown, Booking.com would have charged my card and reimbursed Boarders. I was left without a hotel room on graduation weekend for the local college as well as many high schools. There were no other rooms available within a 40 mile radius. We cut our trip to the area short and drove 2+ hours home, as we had no other choice. Boarders had NO REASON to cancel, particularly so early in the day - my guess is that someone showed up without a reservation and offered a premium for my room. Never did the front desk even say "sorry" or make any kind of apology. They acted as if it was my fault because they didn't have my credit card info, which they were NOT SUPPOSED to have, and couldn't reach me to get it. I have stayed at hotels all over the US and SE Asia using Booking.com and NEVER experienced any issues like I did at Boarders. HORRIBLE BUSINESS PRACTICES AND EITHER TOTALLY IGNORANT OF THEIR AGREED TERMS OF SERVICE OR TOTALLY UNETHICAL.
