It took a long time to check-in. The gentleman in the office seemed in over his head (I later learned he’s a new hire). He couldn’t find my online registration. After a lot of fumbling under the desk (presumably computer network-related) he finally did.
The room was cramped and dingy-looking. It took a long time to establish a wifi connection. The phone in the room didn’t work. The bathroom sink took a long time to drain.
Preparing to leave around 7 am, I realized I’d left something in the room and couldn’t open the door the the key card. I learned it had been deactivated, although check-out time is 11 am. I was given another and that didn’t work. Finally, the gentleman in the office opened the door with a conventional master key.
This motel is in dire need of a makeover, although I doubt it’ll happen soon, if at all. It’s a classic example of “you get what you pay for."
