    Staff was so friendly and helpful, room was clean & spacious, the beds and pillows were perfectly comfortable, the area itself was perfect, even patrons were so friendly. It was the perfect stay. Nothing. Everything was perfect!

    I stayed several nights, one night was miss booked at the hotel refused to refund me my stay for that night. It was booked for the wrong day when I extended my trip. Such a shame after staying 5 days with them

    Close to our meeting location and close to airport, gym 24/7 open. Old showers, a lot of noise from the high way, limited material for proper wheightlifting in the gym, price-quality vs what you get in europe below average, charged double on my credit card for room already paid at departure still waiting on the refund, enail and phone call needed to get the third invoice of the 3 rooms booked.

    I was expecting a lot more for spending $300 for the night. The pool was dirty and had lots of ants. Our room, although nice contained the following: stained sheets, horrible flat pillows, stains and rips on lampshades, rusty shower drain, dirty shower head, hair that was not mine on the shower curtain and water damage on inside of the bathroom door. Parking was $44 for the night.

  • Esther Oct 2026 · via hotels.com
    4/5

    The hotel overall was great and the check-in staff who helped me were amazing. But I think I got put in a “special room” for staying the night with my Hotels.com points. One of the picture frames on the wall was broken, one of the lamp shades was broken, and a previous guest had melted iron prints into the headboard (Who does that?!) I immediately informed the staff member at the checkin desk, so that I wouldn’t get charged for the damages. He was apologetic. The room overall was fine, just a little more worn than I’m used to. Would stay there again.

Room ac was old and smelled musty and was loud. Overall, room seemed to need refreshing. I love location and the lobby seemed to have been upgraded and was comfortable as a place to wait for Vonlane Bus

    The stay was fine. The room was nice and the bed was very comfortable. The cleaning product smell was fairly strong. There is no bathroom near the pool which was a huge inconvenience. The breakfast buffet was nice but overpriced. We walked across the parking lot to Denny's and had a delicious breakfast for much less the price. We had wished the bar was open for longer hours. The noise from the freeway was pretty loud.

    This is an older hotel but has had updates. Our room was nice, clean and bed was amazingly comfy. Nice add was the in room safe. The only complaints I have was the smell in the lobby and elevators. What ever it is they are using was very strong and hard to breathe. Our room didn’t have that smell. Also they charge you $39 to park which I thought was totally unnecessary when there is plenty of room to park on their property. This was not valet and not a parking garage.

    Make sure you read the fine print because they will slap you with a $213 parking fee to park even though you are a guest to stay there with your vehicle. Not one place was this written, mentioned our brought up. Also we killed roaches in our room every day. I didn’t make a fuss it’s Texas you have bugs but if you’re going to charge me premium rates then give me a $213 parking fee on top I shouldn’t have bugs to sleep with.

    According to Expedia this location was only an 8 minute walk to the Moody Amphitheater, the Capitol building and so much more. Was not even close to walkable. Also Expedia said that they had a free breakfast buffet for guests. Did not have any type of buffet and had some type of breakfast for a price. The buffet and location were why I choose this spot, as we are in our 70’s and trying to make everything as easy as possible. Also, was not told nor did I see you had to pay for parking each nite. Will never use Expedia again for any reason. So dissatisfied.

    I asked this morning for room service, then came back later and nothing was done. The receptionist said a maintainer went, but they didn't do anything. Earlier tonight I had asked again for service and no one showed up. I also asked for towels and brought them up to my room myself. I even booked an extra night, which was today. The visit was going so well up until now, it's very unfortunate that my last and additional booked day was so unsatisfactory.
