I believe it should be "...therein lies the rub" or "...herein lies the rub." It basically means "there's the problem" or "here's the problem."
"the middle of nowhere" is an expression we use to mean "far away from conveniences." Someplace that is remote or isolated.
The hotel is in a remote location, and that's the problem. We don't have a car to get there.

"the middle of nowhere" is an expression. It means "far from things that are important to have."
"there lies the rub" is an expression. It means "That is the problem."
So the whole sentence means "The problem is that the hotel is too far from the places we want to go. We won't have a car, so we won't be able to get places far away."
Or it could also mean: "The problem is that the hotel is too far from us, and we can't get there without using a car. Because we don't have a car, we can't get there."

means: that's where the problem is (it's far away and you have no way to get there)
