They took the reservations only to get their and not a soul around. The place was closed and strangley the office was unlocked.
They should have never taken the reservations if that was the case

I showed up to check into my reserved and paid for room, but nobody was in the office to check me on. There was a button to push to ring a bell that nobody answered. There was a note on the counter with a phone number to call someone, but the number didn't work. The place looked condemned. There wasn't a single car in the parking lot. I ended up leaving and came back three times. Nobody was there. I left and booked another hotel 50 miles down the road. I want a refund. I will never prepay for a room with hotels.com again! Done!

If I could give it 0 stars, I would!!

We arrived at the Love Hotel in Murdo and the entire place looked deserted, not a single car in the parking lot, no staff, no lights, absolutely nobody at the front desk. We tried calling, ringing the bell, waiting… nothing. It honestly looked abandoned. Which come to find out, locals from the town said it had been vacant for the last 3 months!

Because there was literally NO ONE there to check us in, we ended up having to find another hotel late at night and then, to top it all off, they charged us a late fee for not checking in.

We paid for a room we never got to use AND had to pay for a second hotel just so we had somewhere to sleep. Completely unacceptable. Save yourself the headache and stay anywhere else.

where to start? not only is this hotel ABANDONED, but apparently has been for months according to locals. even if it weren’t abandoned, from the outside, it looked very run down and not well taken care off. i’d choose zero if i could.

The towels and bathroom were dirty, the tub didn't drain, the bedding smelled moldy, and there was no soap for the sink. It looked like someone had cleaned fish in the sink, and spattered the tiles with fish guts. The mattress was awful. I can go on, but at least the heat works.

Maybe the fact that we made a reservation and ...they were closed?! When we called the # provided, they said \"We are understaffed, you'll have to find another place to stay\"
When I asked for a full refund, they said, youll have to contact Expedia. We still haven't heard from either and it's been a week.

When I arrived at 11:00 PM, the room was stifling hot and took quite some time to cool down. The t.v. did not work. When I took a shower the first morning, there was no shampoo. I could not find where they were serving breakfast. I am not a picky person, but when you pay $100 per night for a room, I at least expect minimum services.

It turned out it consisted of a small bag of chili fritos and a packet of crackers. I refused to stay there. I am asking for a refund.

Old old motel. Outside signs not good. Has a real hard time finding it since it was not called what is on your site. Clark did not even come to check us in, did it over the phone. She did arrive the next day to give us our bill but the place was pretty disappointing. Very hot out but the air conditioner was not keeping up. Just a poor place. Don’t know why it had such high ratings.

The room looks nothing like the picture. There are no headboards or footboards. The rooms are painted cinderblock walls with not pictures. The bathrooms are old and the hot water doesn't work. The bed was comfortable though the sheets were stained. When you arrive the name of the motel is not the same. It's called The Dakota Lodge (or something close to this). The staff stated getting a clean room was a \"hit or miss\". Expedia charged $105.00 and if you show up in person the room will only be $76, according to the staff.

Overall disappointing

We checked in after dark and the keys were in the room with the doors unlocked. It was surprisingly run-down and lots of flies and mosquitoes in the rooms (at least they provided us a flyswatter!). In the middle of the night the old A/C unit started clicking and grinding, so not a restful night at all.

This place is in serious need of some upgrades.
It was not identified as a Love hotel. It had a different name.
No one to check you in you had to call a number.
The room also had lots of flies that were very bothersome.
I think Hotels.com needs to check this place out in person.

No one onsight for check-in or check-out. You have to call a number to check-in. I was on hold with no explanation for about 10-15 minutes except for he had to get his computer and later to say he was still there. Later, thinking I had been hung up on, I called back twice to voicemail. Third time call was answered. Finally got instructions for check in. Carpet had not been vacuumed and the smell from the bathtub drain was horrible. No hand towels. Room very outdated. At least the bed was comfortable and he gave us a discount for the inconvenience at check-in. Definitely no frills.

The room itself was very old. There was a box AC unit in the wall. The window in the bathroom did not help me feel secure because it was large enough for a person to fit through if they broke it and it was at the back of the property. The manager was very nice and helpful. Breakfast area smelled musty and the Cream cheese for the bagels in the morning had a bad texture, like it was old. There also was no trashcan in the breakfast area. I understand the hotel is under recent new ownership, I think this place needs upgrades and remodel

Dakota lodge was like arriving at cosy paradise oasis hidden in the vast prairie after I had been driving hundreds of miles across two states! I pulled in close to midnight but was pleasantly surprised to be met by a lovely beautiful front desk angel originally from the mile high state who welcomed me to Murdo with the keys to my adorable home for the night! The room was immaculately pristine and the bathroom was a visual treat! The room decor was so impeccablly put together as if a professional interior designer was in the house! It felt so comfortable at the Dakota lodge that one could live there forever! Thank you for a perfect and memorable stay!

All I Needed for a Good Night's Rest

Just as advertised and as expected; no frills but economical. My priorities are: cleanliness, economic, comfortable, and convenient. This motel pleased on all fronts. I didn't get to meet the host/hostess. A key was conveniently placed in a box for our late arrival. The room was clean, the shower was warm, and the bed was comfy; everything I needed for an overnight sleep on a cross country road trip. -- Thank you for a pleasant night's rest.

We all loved this place. This was my kind of a hotel. All of us got a great night’s sleep on a decent bed with pillows that were not too fat like some hotels. Bed had a warm blanket and a sheet so you could have get an amount of covers that worked for you. I also loved that this was a motel. Motels are so much more convenient than standard hotels. All of your things are right next to you in your car which is right next to your room. No walking a block up 3 flights of stairs with your luggage. The staff here was super friendly. I made a mistake in my dates with my initial no cancel reservation and they quickly fixed it for me. Finally, it had an AC unit that can also run as a fan that continually runs instead of turning off at a temperature so you could have a sound block going.
