I thought the 4.6 star review was out of 5, but sadly it was out of 10. When my kids and I arrived after a long day of driving, we found the building empty, and the only car on the gravel parking lot was abandoned, with all the windows busted out. Seriously.
There's no way I could have stayed here with my kids--I would have been terrified for their safety with no one else staying at the motel. Fortunately, there was no one *working* there to check us in either, the doors were locked, so we were never charged for the room. We were able to move on and (fortunately) find another hotel a few towns over before it got too dark.
Yikes.
