    Our impression was quite favourable. The freeway noise was always there in the background, but we knew that the property was close to Highway 45 when we made our reservation. The suite was very clean when we arrived and was generally in very good repair. The Keurig coffee maker was somewhat difficult to control (how much water to put in, etc.) and it took some trial and error to get it right. Some instructions on the correct use of the coffee maker would be appreciated. We found a key on the bar counter when we arrived, but there had been no instructions as to what to use this key for. Eventually we figured out that it could be used to unlock the pedestrian gate leading to the parking lot and also the gate to the garbage dumpster. There should be instructions on the use of this key! These are relatively small criticisms and did not really mar the enjoyment of our stay. Thank you!…
