Poor customer support

I was just staying one night with my daughter, offseason. I asked in advance if they could please ensure I had a hair dryer, clothing iron and fan in my room. I was told they didn't have irons or fans, but they had an AC. I was also told all rooms were standard with hair dryers. They need morning we had a very early appointment, and no hair dryer in the room. I requested one and I never heard back. So I hung my head in front of the AC unit to dry my hair. I told them I was forced to do this and still no reply.

The location is convenient, and the pricing is above average for the season. Overall, my experience was mediocre. The situation with the lock significantly detracted from my stay. I checked in late, having called ahead, and the initial process went smoothly. However, upon opening my door, the lock fell to the ground, leaving the door unsecured for the night. While the area appeared safe, this was understandably concerning. I informed the reception desk about the issue, and they promptly sent someone to assess the problem during the day. Additionally, the receptionist offered a broom as a temporary solution to keep the door closed, which I appreciated. To mitigate any risks, I left all my belongings in the car while the room remained unlocked. A staff member came to inspect the situation and assured me that a technician would arrive within the next 30 minutes to replace the lock. Although I had prior commitments, I waited for 45 minutes before returning my belongings to the car and notifying reception that I was attending an event, but someone should still arrive to address the issue. Upon my return, the lock had not been repaired, and I had not received the broom or any alternative means to secure the door, leaving me feeling vulnerable during my stay. It seems that this may be a recurring issue for the hotel, particularly with the suite I occupied, as evidenced by the numerous broken lock remnants still attached to the door.

Honestly, look else where.

I stay in the area at least once a year, for a weekend or concert. usually in season or just out of summer. My go to hotel is closed this late in the year so i tried the Ships inn as a replacement. I am really bummed to say that i did not enjoy my stay at at this establishment. Upon arrival the women behind the counter asked me to kindly wait while she finished her texting..ok after a 2 and a half hour drive i dont mind stretching my legs a minute. After a 30 seconds to a minute she was ready to check me in, that went as normal until she tried to find the room key, after several minutes of banging around searching the drawer and muttering while voice texting the housekeepers she needs the key back now!. This takes about 10 minutes and i receive an apology for the wait. i didnt mind the wait. But the unorganized drama was unnecessary. I know the website photos of hotel rooms are never quite the reality but this was far from what i was expecting. Way "older" and need of repair than the photos let on. The mismatched beds were uncomfortable, but the sheets seamed clean. the walls and ceilings are paper thin. Even a casual conversation can be heard from one froom to another, which is something i wish my upstairs neighbors had taken into consideration before making me glad i didnt have the kids with me and honestly making me a little jealous of the youthful stamina.

The check in was terrible when we arrived. No one in the office and it was locked. Called the # on my reservation and it was not in service. There were 3 numbers listed on the door and I finally received a response after trying 2 of these. Then I had to wait for someone to show up and they had to go get a key. Not good. The place is also outdated.
