This motel has capitalized on the Scandinavianisms in the area, (and I'm Scandinavian, so I do recognize it!) including having guests do a self-check in. I understand the idea is to save on staff and keep costs down, it's just not very organized. I booked my room through Expedia, where I got a notification that I would receive a check-in code by email 24 hours before my check-in time. I didn't. I got to the motel at 2:45 pm, check in was at 3. There was no reception area at the motel, no staff anywhere. In the parking lot, there was a sign telling guests to visit to a specific website to check in. I tried that. It was a parked domain. I tried calling the only phone number I had received, it kept ringing and ringing, no one was picking up. I emailed, I texted. Kinda started to worry that somehow my reservation hadn't gone through, and I would have to find somewhere else to stay. Then on my third try, I got through on the phone, and they said they had just then emailed the entry codes, right at 3 pm. I get that they don't want anyone trying to check in early, it's just that the process is very confusing, and they need to update their info on Expedia as well as in their own parking lot. Other than that, my room is clean, spacious, and well worth the price.
