Good location, service not so good

Check-in was a little odd. All literature said checking was from 3 to 9pm however no one answered phone until 3:30pm at the earliest. Upon arrival at the motel around 4pm, there was no one at front desk even though we had just talked to the girl 1/2 hour prior. There was a buzzer to ring. After ringing buzzer she came from behind a door to check us in. Not very welcoming. She basically told us our room number and where to park and took the credit card. Also informed us to leave key in room upon check out. That was it!! When we got to our room there was only 1 washcloth and 2 small sample size bars of soap and one small shampoo for 2 people for 2 day stay. No extra toilet paper and Kleenex box had 3 tissues in it. 2 bath towels and 2 hand towels were provided. Amenities are definitely lacking here. It is very obvious that motel does not want to staff many people or have basic necessities. For price we paid, service was lacking.

My husband and I stayed there for New Year’s Eve and I will say it was the cleanest motel we have ever been to. The staff was friendly and the room was so cute. We would definitely stay there again.
