Just was a weird experience… owner assumably was the man that was there when I arrived. He was sitting in the common area eating & watching a game on tv, mind you I had just pulled up into a spot right next to the building in the 5 minute parking spot, the lights were shining right into that common area. Rather than checking me in, he sat and continued to eat and watch his game on the tv, not to mention didn’t even say hello until a minute or two had gone by of me standing at the front desk 10 feet away. Finally comes to the counter and goes through the usual small talk, well when I returned the polite question of “and you?” to his “how has your night been?”, he says “Lonely. Very lonely.” Just… ick. Made me feel weird given the context that I am a mid 20’s female completely by myself at a hotel in the middle of absolute no where at 11pm. Anyways, got the key, let him know that I was going to grab my stuff from my car and that I’d be right in, then I would move my car out of the limited time parking area. So I went out, grab my bags, and head back in. He is promptly standing at the desk that time when I walk back in, and as I pass he walks out from behind his desk, right behind me and starts walking closely behind me. He walked for about half the hallway with me and all I could think was “I’m getting followed into my room. This is it.” Maybe it was just hypervigilance but the previous “lonely” comment made it 10x more uncomfortable and more suspicious. Would not book again.
