It was clean and nice. The only problem was that there was a large floodlight just outside our window, and it was not obvious how we could shut the curtain over the AC to block out the light. We slept fairly well anyway.

The highway is very close to the property, and if you have a room that faces it, it gets quite loud. Breakfast and other amenities are as one might expect. Staff was very nice, very welcoming. The area around the property is short of amenities, but these are a short uber ride away.

Ok for the night
Check in was slow. Key cards didnt work. A/C in room was on manual. Room was nice but desk was placed next to air unit resulting in a continuous breeze in the ear. TV offerings were great and bed comfortable.
