The sliding glass door handle was broken and wouldn’t lock. It wouldn’t seal well either so I heard the highway noise and sirens and such all night. Super loud. Barely slept. Unacceptable to have a broken door handle at this price point. Front desk didn’t seem to care at all. Said well ok.

Don’t book on hotels.com.
Paid $40 above rack rate for horrible room on first floor near lobby bar where people yelled and were generally obnoxious until well after 1am. Parking lot view of Steak and Shake. Do not stay here if you want to sleep and don’t book on hotels.com unless you want to get ripped off.
