Just a place to rent

We booked this room for a last minute overnight to the area- chose this motel based on the location to where we wanted to hike and paddle and the Google reviews. We arrived around 6:00 PM and could not tell where to check in as there is no office sign posted, after walking around the entire motel we finally landed back at the house in the front and an unmarked entrance. No one was there and there was a piece of paper with instructions if no one was there. We pressed the buzzer but no answer, so went to the next step which was to use the red phone- only problem is that it is a rotary phone so pressing 3 is not an option. I finally called the motel # on my cell- while the woman that answered was pleasant, she had my wrong cell # and said she had texted me the check in info ( of course I didn't get it because it was the wrong number), then she thought I had 2 rooms booked, but finally found ours and instructed us the door was open and the key was in the room. I inquired about where to park but it's pretty much wherever you can find a spot we discovered. The inside door to our room wouldn't push open past about 1/3 of the way so a bit tricky getting stuff into the room. It is a basic room and appeared to be clean. The mini refrigerator is on the bedside table right next to bed and outlets by the bed are a bit hard to come by for recharging phones. The TV operated from the light switch by the door which we finally figured out, but there is no cable TV available, only signing into your own accounts such as Hulu (at least that's all we could figure out as there were zero directions for anything in the room). I had to go back over to the office to retrieve the WiFi password. The shower was a bit tricky to get hot water but we figured that out based off the sign handing next to it, thee tub does not drain very well however and there was no hair dryer. Towels are old and could use an upgrade. There is also no ice that we could locate. When we left around 9:30 the next morning there was no one on site still and we ran into another couple that had a similar experience with parking, where to leave their key on check out (we didn't have one to worry about) and the lack of cable TV. All that being said, the location is great for walking to local places to eat and across the street to the park. Honestly, we have stayed at locally owned motels before but this one, while it has it's few advantages was lacking in service- no coffee as promised and we never saw any owners or staff, lack of basic information in the room about the accommodations would have been easy and helpful. For the price of $179 (including taxes) for a queen room on a Saturday late summer, we will not be returning.
