Random people loitering in parking lot. That, and the man checking in ahead of me, caused me to become extremely anxious. I expressed my concerns to the check-in attendant and was assured that the motel and surrounding area were safe. Went up the stairs to my room (no elevator) and started reaching out to locals about where I was and, without exception, they all confirmed my concern for my safety, especially with my plans to walk to and from local businesses and the theater. Left the motel as soon as I could find a ride, after being informed that I would not be receiving a refund for either night of my reservation. I will be escalating this with corporate after I return home.
