    It was very quiet. It was in a neighborhood with plenty of shopping and food options. It was very dark at night.

    Location

    Quiet. Easy to get to. Restaurant across the street.

    There were no body towels. I spilled water and used a hand towel to wipe it, the towel turned blak from the dirty floor. I arrived in the daylight (6 pm) and the door was blocked. I had to get my key through the night window. The room was disgusting!

    Very good

  • Engine customer Apr 2025

    Room was very unclean, smelled like smoke to the point it stuck to your clothes. Bath and toilet were stained and smelled. Lights flickered when they turned on. Dirt still on the carpet and the beds were rumpled like they hadn’t been washed. I didn’t even stay the night, left due to the smoke smell and filth.

    I like this place because it is quiet and close to the friend I was visiting. It was clean. I could park right outside my window so I could look out and see my car. The air conditioning was very good and the unit ran the fan all the time: no disturbing starting and stopping. Hot water came in about 10 seconds. The window was very clean. The manager came as soon as I tapped on the window when I arrived and when I checked out. There is plenty of light outside but the drapes fitted nicely into the window recess at night to make the room dark. The ice machine worked well. Target was a walk away. The shower produced adequate water, but at the same time lots of water kept coming out of the faucet and into the tub. Not a problem for me - - just wasteful. No water came into the toilet bowl while the commode was refilling, so each time I would fill the bowl by gently pressing on the handle. No one came to freshen the room but I could have put the "maid" sign out if I had wanted service. I brought my own soap so the little bar of soap was not a problem. The bed was rather firm. There was plenty of drawers and a table and two chairs. It wasn't until I was leaving that I discovered the thermostat for the refrigerator -- it was at the back of the refrigerator at the top. (The fridge was freezing water in the bottom.)

    Not much to be perfectly honest l. I could have been treated better by the staff when they refused to believe I'd made my reservation on booking.com and pre paid, thus being double charged.

    There was no Lobby - we had to talk to the person through the security window. That's disrespectful. The lighting fixture wasn't working and the room was not well cleaned.

    This place was exactly what we needed. We were staying 1 night before the eclipse and just needed a place to crash. The beds were clean, the room was clean and we had no complaints except for thin comforters but we just pulled the 2nd one from the other bed. They also had a mini fridge, coffee pot and microwave which is becoming an uncommon thing. Would stay here again. Be ware of their intense speed bump in the parking lot. Even going less than 1mph my poor car's frame got a jolt.

    Location is nice. Not too far from Downtown or Fiesta Texas. We stayed on second floor and it creaked with every step. The bed had a spring that had sprung loose and tore through the mattress cover that poked you if you got out of bed wrong. There were cigarette burns in the mattress sheets. The toilet didn’t flush very well. Thought it was going to overflow several times. Not many free outlets to plug into. Had to unplug the lamp and clock to charge my phone and computer. The “front desk” is a foggy “night window” that is hard to see and hear through. All that aside, it served its purpose of being somewhere cheap that we could stay for the nights while we were out and about during the days. Lots of food nearby and places to drink if that’s your thing.

    Good location on main road. Nearby food and drink, stores, gas. Curtains closed good had room darken shade curtain. AC worked well. I already had a semi low expectations with the hotel to begin with. Room is large but minimum furniture. Hotel is older and the rooms looked and felt older. But this is a place just to sleep. Not the most comfortable bed.

  • Engine customer Aug 2023

    Was quiet. Competent clerks. I was happy there.

  • Engine customer Aug 2022

    location only lighting in the room was terrible, cleanliness was dodgy, sheets had cigarette burn holes in them… the list goes on…

  • Engine customer May 2022

    Hard working people maintaining the property during the day ???, absolutely ideal location if you’re someone who has good self control right next to wonderful shopping choices ?????, room was very clean and well stocked with necessities for the stay ??? Drug dealers everywhere ????‍??, but friendly people though for sure! Nothing or no one unsafe or caused anything ??? in my case or anything, but just be aware if that’s something that would shock or bother you or if you’re in recovery and need to avoid that situation or anything. In the rooms and around the property at night, BAM! There they are! ???? and my refrigerator kept freezing my food and I never figured out how to turn the temperature down… but eh, what are ya gonna do sometimes, ammirite? ?
