When I went to check in there was one gentlemen was the desk on the phone, I stood at the reception for 10-15 minutes waiting for someone to come and greet me, I could see people in the back office, finally a young girl came out, took my license, gave me a bit of paper and a key and said there you go. I asked about room location, where I could park, she just said "out the back". Very poor greeting. Our room also ws dated and needed a bit of TLC or renovation.
