Slightly disappointed.

Let me start off by saying I have frequented the motel every year for the past 10 years. This is the first time I have ever been disappointed. This is the first year there was no one there to greet us. No nice and friendly staff. The place was recently painted, which would’ve been nice, but now it’s dark and drab looking . Some of the homely decor is missing from the rooms. There was no staff to check us in. We were greeted by a sign on the door that asked us to text to check in. We found our room key in an unsecured box, that anyone had access to. The room was very clean, however if you needed anything there was no one to ask. I will consider staying again hopefully someone will be there next time.

The check-in process was sketchy, it was just a number to “text” or to “try and find housekeeping”. After check in, I found the deadbolt would not lock the door and the main room window was completely unsecured. By unsecured I mean there was NO lock, and no other items to secure it. It was a window that could be opened by anyone at any moment. The one person on site had no solutions other than to try to get ahold of the owner the next day. I had to go to the hardware store and purchase window locks.
