Next time, despite how exhausted I am, I will drive the two hours home before staying here.
Cons:

The check-in staff was rude and non-responsive. He took my card and ID, walked away with no communication, and proceeded to warm his food up instead of assisting me. I had to knock on the glass and ask for my information back before he told me what he was doing. This is not a great idea nor did it make me feel safe as a traveler.

Pros:

The fact it had a fridge.

Cons:

Not a pleasant area, room smelled like weed , and it wasn't fully clean and the person refused to accomodate me. The next day, I complained and they put me in another room that was not the suite I purchased and you can tell it was infested at one point, there was a roach in one of their pictures.
