Christopher, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The room was very modern and very clean. I was really impressed with the couch very comfortable, and the bed was comfortable too. The parking lot was clean. It was quiet all night and the established friendly.
Sandra, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

I would recommend for the complimentary breakfast to have microwaveable bowls available for the oatmeal instead of only providing styrofoam bowls bc they melt in the microwave. How else could we make the oatmeal you provided without the correct bowls. Also, would be better if the breakfast provided something cold to drink like orange juice or apple juice instead of only hot coffee.

Friendly staff
Varsha, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I like the surroundings where it's located , close to Chick-fil-A, Hawaiian Bros, HEB, the San Marcos River. The rooms were clean, the staff were always available when we needed things. Thank you for letting us enjoy the quietness and peaceful area, I needed that when I worked overnights

Had a smell. It was an ok stay
Sasha, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Definitely a workmen's' motel. The refrigerator was frozen over and towels stuffed inside. Useless. Other minor issues such a loose toilet set and missing moulding off the dresser top.
Michael, 1-night trip

Second time we’ve been at this hotel everything was good
Isabel, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very clean and tidy!

Thoroughly impressed with how clean the room was. The bed was very comfortable and the A/C was super cold. Will definitely be back.
Erica, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Room was dirty when we checked in but I was able to get a housekeeper the next day to come and clean it.
Katijo, 6-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The hotel was older that on the pictures on line. The rooms were not pleasing to see plus the linen on the beds had human hairs and the light fixtures to the bathroom did not work. We were given another room and I was hoping that it would be different but, it was the same. The linen was dirty and there were stains in each bed. I was so disappointed and the front desks did not have other extra rooms.
Pablo, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Not the best

Location easy access room dirty sheets dirty loud ac and light coming in to room from outside.
James, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Did not look like the pictures. Charged me to $92, $1 & then full price for the two night stay. I did the “convenient link” for speedy and easy checkout and requested later complimentary check out and was denied unless I paid. There was fighting and disturbances and called front desk and they did nothing about it. Went on from 1:40-4am

8/10 Good

Convenient and affordable. The room’s flooring was buckling but the room was clean. And the staff was so friendly and kind.
Jane, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

I had a problem with the room key and as he gave me another he explained that putting it in my back pocket would ruin the keycard. I didn't know that but I'll store it properly next time.
Larry, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

It is nothing like the photos!

There is a lingering smell to the place & the actual room felt damp. Our room was attached to another room by a door and we could see and hear everything. The covers were scratchy & everything felt old.
Clarissa, 1-night trip

Has to be your last choice
