Upon initial entry into the hotel room we noticed cockroaches running on the floor so we quickly requested a different room which we were provided. Room was so close to the freeway that noise was unsettling. We had a two night reservation but after arising the first morning and having no hot water we decided to move out (hotel reception admitted to having a water problem and apologized with kindness and courtesy so I give two stars instead of one). We asked for a refund for the unused second day of the reservation which was granted.
