Vanguard Motel was fantastic. Sure, it's old-school, but it was super clean, crisp clean sheets, an AC that blows very cold, good internet, good television, everything worked. It even had a microwave and a minifridge to keep my drinks cold. I will definitely be back. Navasota is a small town, and this building is older, but all paint was new, room was incredibly clean, pool was sparkling, and the manager was very nice and personable.

If you stay here be warned it is noisy in the morning. I was on my way to giving this property 5 stars, however there were some issues in the morning. This included someone knocking on my door at 10:03am CST. When I asked the property they went immediately to stating that never happened. No investigation, no looking into it, just stating that no one knocked on your door and you should forget about it. It was blatantly obvious that housekeeping knocked as I could see activity through the peephole. For these reasons I left and will be reviewing my honest opinions.

The stay was great. Although one previous review mentioned lots of road noise, we did not hear any. Everything was in good working order with no complaints at all. After seeing that there were either none or very few rooms available when we booked, only about half the rooms were occupied during our two day stay.

This motel is near college station, so that’s convenient when prices are high or sold out near A&M. The motel is outdated. The WiFi did not work. The tv had a consistent green line across the bottom. There’s no shampoo or conditioner. Expect to run down to the dollar store for toiletries. There’s no iron or ironing board. It seemed overpriced, over $80 a night average. The best thing about it is that you can hop to college station in less than 30 minutes.

I stayed here in March and was pleasantly surprised. Charlie and his wife are so nice and accommodating. I told them that I’ll be staying here every time I come to Navasota which is once a month. I’ve already booked my room for April. They are in a great location from downtown. Rooms are clean, the A/C is cold, and linens are clean.

Mostly good needs maintenance attention
Not worthy of 5 stars, There are maintenance and upkeep that needs to take place. Some wall repairs were just taped over, some were painted over the tape some were just black tape. You could not turn the water on for just the bath tub the knob only allowed the shower to turn on ... but the shower had amazing water pressure. The light by the ice machine had a constant flicker (bad ballast?). Our room was tight, but adequate for us. The bed was comfortable, parking seemed ackward for our corner room, but no one else was in rooms near us so it worked! The cost was well below other places around. We would consider staying here again if ever back in the area.

The room was very clean and the staff were polite. The WiFi, room key, and TV all did not work. If you don’t know the area (like us), it is next to a very busy and very loud street with no sidewalks. We likely won’t stay here again.
