"Clean but musty smelling room. Random man (not a guest) walked up to us while unloading our van late at night to ask if we needed help. Then proceeded to sit in the lobby and stare at us as we checked in. As a woman traveling, this made me extremely nervous. Now he knew what my car looked like, what kind of gear I was storing in my room, and my room number. We said something to the front desk clerk, but he seemed unbothered by it. 🙁"
