The worst part of our experience with this hotel was the check-in. It was the least professional experience I have ever had. The clerk was talking on the phone with a friend while a movie or TV show was playing on another device all throughout the check-in process, so no attention was given to us as customers besides asking for an ID. Subsequent phone call to front desk was unanswered. Facilities and room were of average cleanliness. Breakfast starting at 8 was too late for our travel needs, and there was no coffee/tea maker in the room. Would not recommend to anyone.

Warning! Don't be fooled by the vacant front office like I was. I showed up after dark and from what I could see the place was deserted. I ended up making another reservation at a nearby hotel. The next day I drove by this property and it looked the same. As I was driving out I saw a small arrow near the exit which was not visible at night. I followed the arrow and found an operating hotel. No idea if the hotel is any good but they don't seem interested in notifying guests that there is a hotel behind the front office.
