My husband and I and our son tried to check into this hotel at about 1030. We went to our room and it was the most disgusting thing I have seen. There were stains on the comforters, remnants of bugs. The bathroom was a rusty mess. Unfortunately, we could not get a refund, but I handed the key back in and we decided to drive the seven hours home instead, in the middle of the night.

Had a emergency vehicle issue on the way to the hotel. Ended up being a long night and morning to not be able to make it to the room. Reached out to the front desk, asking if they could do anything. Even if just a discount on the room for the next night and just replied "sorry not possible". I know they were not booked full the night i reserved or the night after. I could have done differetly sure. But I'm thinking I doged a bullet after reading these recent reviews.
