Basic, Clean, low cost, but unfortunate knocker

We have stayed at the Cozy Rest Motel before so knew it was basic lodging. This is fine with us as it is clean and previously felt safe. Unfortunately this trip we were woken to loud banging on our door around midnight. Quite a startling experience. Fortunately, another individual promptly approached the “confused” door banger and escorted them away. Would prefer if doors had a secondary lock as this would have made this situation less concerning.

This is definitely an older motel that's showing it's age, but the rates are cheap and the owners are VERY polite and accommodating and the rooms are very clean. Normally I would be skeptical about an old "mom & pop" motel, but it really surprised me! I can't stress enough that this is a "no frills" motel, but again it's clean and you will NOT find any bugs or anything like that and the mattresses are new and comfortable. If you are expecting the MARRIOTT then go stay somewhere else because im sure someone will still have something to complain about! I would definitely stay her again and they are going to be doing some remodeling. Thanks guy's
