After the mixup with booking and the manager worked his magic, everything was wonderful
Pros:

The property was great. However, my experience with booking was not. I made the reservation in advance. Once we got there booking had not released the reservation so when we got there, we didn’t have a reservation. However, the manager worked magic and got the reservation released from booking. Booking list up terribly. I will never use booking again.

Cons:

I didn’t like using Booking.com. Booking.com is is a farce a fraud a sham. However, the property that I went to was very good and the owner/manager was amazing.

Location was perfect for the reason we were in the area!
Pros:

The location is excellent (for the reason we picked this place). It's easily accessible by highway to get north or south to visit other places. Staff was friendly, accommodated for our needs for the room (bottom floor), and communicated timely. Breakfast was good; started out our day with what we needed! Beds were comfy. Microwave and fridge were so convenient to have. I liked that coffee was available all day.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the noise upstairs made sleeping difficult. If I could, I would've taken the top floor but for my family, we needed the bottom. Otherwise, everything else was as expected.

Pros:

Overall, our stay was good. The room was spacious and relatively clean. The air inside felt a little heavy, possibly because of the carpets or cleaning chemicals.

Cons:

The biggest disappointment was the breakfast. We chose a room with breakfast included because we wanted the convenience of waking up and having breakfast at the hotel. Unfortunately, what was offered could hardly be called breakfast. There were waffles that guests had to make themselves, bread with butter, yogurt, and sweet pastries with jam. There were no eggs, not even boiled eggs, no cheese, no vegetables, and no savory protein options at all. Everything consisted mainly of sugar and flour.

The hotel advertises breakfast, but it should clearly state what is actually included. If we had known in advance that breakfast consisted almost entirely of sweet, high carbohydrate foods, we would have chosen a room without breakfast and gone elsewhere from the start. Instead, we wasted time in the morning looking for a place to eat because we simply could not call this a real breakfast.

For about $10 per person, which is what the hotel charges for breakfast if purchased separately, we found a nearby restaurant serving a proper breakfast with scrambled eggs and fried potatoes. We would have gladly done that from the beginning if the hotel had accurately described what guests should expect.
