We got a room right by the office and could hear the front desk workers and their child talking right outside our door until 2 am. The breakfast was horrible. Seemed like fake eggs, slices of bread, NO types of meats, cereal.

Liked - Newer facility, which was clean and comfortable. Check-in was quick and young lady was friendly. Disliked - Later asked a young man at the check-in desk about the pool; it seemed that I was a nuisance to him. Too much door slamming (especially around 6:00am) and traffic noise from street. I would request a room in the back in the future!

The staff was friendly. We had no problems. I got more then i expected for the price. We stayed during Hurricane Beryl and that was our check out date, they gave us extra time to check to allow us a better time to start traveling home. We would happily stay there again during our next visit to Texas.

It was alright. The customer service was a little sluggish but very friendly and nice. The bed was broken and went downhill on one side and if someone got out of bed the bed would fly up and you would be on the floor. I was too exhausted to change rooms

The girl who checked us in was very friendly. She let us know what all was around the hotel to eat and do. We asked if they had a rollout bed that we could use for my son and the gentleman who took over after the young lady left said he would make sure we had one when we got back that night. When we got back, no rollout bed and the person working said nothing had been mentioned to him about it. We asked for an extra blanket instead and they gave us one but it was incredibly small. I went back to see if they had a larger one and he told me “No, I already gave your wife a blanket. You can’t have anymore.” So we went to Walmart and bought a blanket to use. Breakfast was subpar; stale bagels and burnt tasting coffee. Honestly for the price I halfway expected some of this stuff to probably be an issue. Would not stay here again.
