Cute property, but that’s where it ends. The manager/front desk attendant is there limited hours and unnecessarily rude. I only interacted with him at check-in, which was fine, and then when he approached my car.
I was scorned for not knowing I could just call him at his home quarters for a hairdryer that’s behind the front desk. I was made to read a scroll of rules at check-in, and that tidbit wasn’t listed anywhere. The manager told me that it was because I’d booked a “cheap room” and maybe I’d be more comfortable at a “corporate hotel” if I wanted a hair dryer. I stay in Salida weekly, in all of the other local hotels - hairdryers in all of them. Standard in the US.
The door is insecure - easily destructible frame, has no deadbolt or latch, hasn’t been wiped down since they painted it. Need a coffee maker? Sorry, just a useless retro tissue box cover and phone. Batteries dead in the remote, bathroom floor so sticky I had to wear shoes. Can deal with all of that, and did.
But the most concerning part? At 9:50a I was taking a call in my car in front of the hotel room, shortly after checking out early because I couldn’t get a good Internet connection. The manager/front desk attendant/now housekeeper approached my vehicle, had me roll down my window, and told me if I wasn’t off the parking lot by 10am, I’d be charged for another night, so I took the opp to ask ab the hairdryer. I had zero negative interactions with him prior. Please save your money and peace.
