I didn’t feel safe at this place. Will not return

The hotel overall was good. Its a basic 3 star hotel. We got a great rate for the holiday weekend. The room was clean. Bed was firmer than I usually like, but I slept well. Towels are skimpy, but its a basic hotel. It was cheap uber to beach and there was a family dollar across the street. The main problem was the check in. I arrived in the rain wearing two knee braces in a lot of pain at 320. You have to speak through a small slot in the window like youre visiting someone in prison and its difficult to hear. The girl told me I couldnt check in until 4 and there was nowhere to keep my luggage. I limped across the street and sat in a restaurant until check in. I originally booked one night but decided to stay an additional night. When I initially called to try to book direct, I was told I couldnt so I booked second night through *******. They initially couldn't find my second reservation but eventually found it. I was told we would have to check out at 11 next morning spend all day wandering with my luggage and check in again at 4. I'e traveled all over the world including third world countries and never had this situation before. Eventually the guy who was at the desk called the owner and we were allowed to stay since we said we didnt need room cleaned and we booked same type of room. We had difficulty finding the room, but eventually it all worked out. They keep $50 cash deposit which some places do, but do not lose the slip of paper slip they give you or you are out of luck
