This is basically a Motel 6 with a Hilton badge on it. The hallway carpets were dirty and stained. The room didn’t have a coffee maker or microwave. The shower didn’t have enough water pressure. The breakfast was a joke. It was basically just bagels.

Sleepless in Bakersfield

Loud, you could hear the freeway very clearly, into a second day there was a group of motorcyclists they were extremely loud, loud music playing in the morning and coming back to the hotel at 1am blasting music . The rooms were no different, you could hear people talking in the other rooms, overall extremely loud and uncomfortably.
