Mediocre experience

Hotel room was dirty and in poor condition. Urine on the toilet, blood stain on a pillow, the room smelled like a wet dog. The whole hall smelled of cigarette smoke. The shower head barely worked and had no temperature control.

I failed to buy travel insurance since we were only going 3 hours away. A winter storm and fender bender prevented us from getting to our destination. I asked the hotel if they could make an exception, they said maybe.
