I don’t want to say the hotel itself was terrible because you could tell it’s been recently updated. I did check for bed bugs and did not find any but We did kill multiple bugs in the room including one cockroach. The shower water did not get hot at all, there was no tissues, shampoo, conditioner, any type of soap at all. Both toilet paper rolls were empty upon arrival. There was some guys next door that stayed outside our door hanging out in the bed of their truck all night drinking, yelling and smoking, so our room smelled like marijuana all day and night…which isn’t the worst thing but they were just so loud until about 4am. There was no coffee pot in the room so we went to the lobby in the morning because it says they have breakfast but they had absolutely nothing and the coffee pot was empty and turned off.

This served our needs as a one-night stop over but I can't recommend it if you require hot water or towels (we had neither). The freeway was about 100 ft outside our door so it is quite loud if you are on that side of the building.
