Cons:

Checked out a day early - due to illness. Never received a refund for the night we were not there. No response from management after multiple attempts.

Cons:

Parking lot was being re-sealed and the hotel did not advise the guest it was happening until the night before. Finding a parking spot in walking distance for our truck and trailer was a bit of a challenge. No indication that this was scheduled at time of reservation.

Hotel was fine but cancellation request was handled very poorly even though we requested more than 24 hours in advance.
Pros:

Clean and comfortable

Cons:

Needed to cancel 2nd night due to death in the family and got the runaround from both hotel and Booking.com when requesting the cancellation. Had to pay for 2 nights when only staying 1. Sad!
