The room was clean but the window curtain was ripped. There was a issue with the first room I was given but the clerk was extremely helpful and switched the room right away. The hotel was quiet and they did provide breakfast.

My stay was okay, but the hotel feels outdated. The rooms and common areas could use some modern updates. The staff was friendly, but overall the property would benefit from renovations.

The room and building was clean. Front staff were friendly and I loved the lobby decor. Only issue was the room lighting which extremely too dim for me. Overall, I would stay again.

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.
