Pros:

We weren’t able to stay because the Ss Badger had canceled the ride back the next day due to extreme weather conditions. When trying to get a refund, the desk said I had to deal with booking.com. Booking said I need to contact the hotel. When I tried calling the manager’s voicemail box was full. The server to send a message wasn’t working either. Customer service is to avoid customers at all times. We couldn’t control the weather and didn’t get to stay there so why couldn’t we get a refund?
