Checked in early! $25. Ride from airport. $25. Horrible 1st room, decent 2nd room. Right now checking to see if I have double payed booking through Expedia and the hotel! Staff was unpleasant. Wanted to talk to manager and was a NoShow.

The staff was great but that hotel needs some TLC. The property is old AC kept needing to be reset the worst wifi I experienced in my life . A great staff can’t help with those shortfalls. They are in need of a major upgrade. And try to get an IT department that helps with the WiFi issues.

Top quality room in every way except no microwave. That didn't matter to me because I was not willing to go shopping without a escort of some kind. Breakfast buffet was excellent but expensive at $24. I would prefer an a la carte option because I'm a light eater.

Our flight was delayed. We were unable to stay at the Boma. We booked with free cancellation. The Boma Hotel refused to refund the one night we paid for. The amount is being disputed with the bank because the Boma hotel is committing fraud. When you book and add free cancellation, the Boma does not have the right to keep the money and tell Expedia that they have strict policies. Malcom, Joseph, and the manager at the Boma Hotel are committing fraud. Do not stay there because if the airline is delayed, you will lose your money. There are nice hotels that won’t steal from you.
