So far, so good. Their no-show policy said they will charge my card for one night if i don't show up,or if i cancel less than 18hrs before my checkin time. They only charged me a $20 deposit to book 3 days!

I am life member and prefer only HI Hotels where ever available. At some places living is good but at some inconvenient.Locations are good. Some years ago the rates were tolerable but now they are rising making way for other options.
