Clean and spacious room. Comfortable bed with nice crisp sheets. Well equipped with kitchenette amenities. Ample and easy parking. Overnight Traffic noise from adjacent highway was disruptive as room was immediately beside the highway. A room further into the complex would likely have mitigated the noise. Wifi weakened as evening progressed to point of becoming unusable in a practical sense. Overall the stay was ok for an overnight and is worthwhile consideration
