There was no breakfast, there were dead bugs in every room and the bathtub. There was a misunderstanding about the reservation, and staff was pretty snippy about it.

Worst experience

We didn't get to stay in our room. The door was frozen shut by the time we got back at the end of the night. The front desk help had to break in through the window to get our stuff. The owner "doesn't answer his phone on sundays" so there were no apologies or anything. The staff was throwing hot water on door in -6 weather. The other staff was trying to get a haie dryer. To say this was a clusterf**k, would be putting it mildly. I would love to post pictures, but the "add a photo" button below seems to be broken.

We left the property after 1 night. The first room we were assigned the door was open, the power didn't work, and the door could be pushed open. The second room did not have any water pressure because there was a water leak behind the wall leaking into a different room. We had to stay there as it was late and it was the only place for many miles. The service was poor and the clerk had to continuously call the general manager on speaker phone. I am still trying to get my money back.

After reading so many terrible reviews we tried to cancel and had no luck. We did not want to go to a hotel with such a bad reputation. We took the loss and went somewhere else.
