I went inside to check in but nobody was at the front desk. I waited and waited. Phone rang a couple times. Rang the bell a couple times. Yelled out hello. Finally, 7 mins later somebody came to assist me. Next morning I checked and again no is was there to assist me. I ended up leaving my key where it said to. Night window. This was around 8am. I replied back to a than you your visit text saying I left the key as asked so there’s record of me leaving it there. Waited almost 3 hours for confirmation so I ended up calling the property and he said oh I just now texted you back. I’ve been staying here for a few years now and never had I encountered this.

You don't stay here because you're looking for the best room in town. You stay here because it's cheap and near downtown. Perfectly fine for a solo trip, but probably not where I'd bring kids.
