Pathetic
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Disappointing Stay - Poor Maintenance and Unfair Billing Practices. Unauthorized Charge Without Notice: The most troubling part came after our stay. Without any prior contact, discussion, or notification, the hotel charged $150 to my credit card claiming we caused water damage. This is completely false - the shower was already broken when we tried to use it. The hotel never reached out to discuss the situation, provide evidence, or give us an opportunity to explain what actually happened before taking money from our account. This is unacceptable business practice. Any reputable establishment would contact guests first before applying disputed charges.

Overall, we are happy with our stay at Black Buffalo.
Pros:

The hotel is located within short distances from places we visited. It also provide complimentary parking space which is nice to have.

Cons:

Though we only need to climb 1 storey, would be exceptional if there is a standard lift or at least platform lift. We have 5 luggages which weigh about 20 kg each. Also has one senior with weak knees. For this round we can still manage as one of us is a young adult. He provides the muscles for the luggages while the weak knee senior climb up slowly. Other than these, no other negative comment.
