    Room was clean and neat. Although the bed cover had (burn) holes on it, everything was comfortable. Just wish we had more than one trash can in room. Stay was good and we liked that the parking lot was nice and bright! It was also Very convenient that HEB is within walking distance of hotel. We were visiting a family member at HCA Medical Center and the location was perfect! We would stay again.

    The most recent reviews is what led me to book. The reviews from 2023 were not very favorable so apparently major overhaul of the rooms has been done. No clamoring smell was in our room. I like the fact that there isn’t any carpet! Bed was ok…not the best but not the worst either. I would stay here again. The price was excellent compared to where it’s located. Didn’t use any of the amenities because was simply there for an early medical appointment.

    The price is unreasonable considering there is no pool or vending machines. Breakfast is cold prepackaged muffins and instant oatmeal. Or stale cocoa pebbles and corn flakes and good luck with the staff having milk available.

    The Clerk at the front desk was very RUDE . When he spoke to me. I ask for assistance making a phone call and the clerk said the call would not go through. The room was clean, how I could tell was when I took my shoes off and walked to the bathroom. Before putting on my flip flops my socks were still white. Don’t know what was going on with the bed every time you sat on it . Or got in the bed to lay down. The bed made a loud sound . Housekeeping came by both days I stayed and asked if my room needed to be cleaned. I informed the staff I did not need their services at the time. I was unable to watch TV . Not sure if I needed to access the WiFi password. For some reason I couldn’t get it to go through. Oh on the morning when checking out I found the was some free breakfast items offered. But would have been to be informed by the RUDE Clerk at the front desk . Upon my arrival that there were some breakfast items were offered in the morning. After I did booked a 3 night stay at this establishment.

    The final straw was when someone started beating on our door and tried several times to enter. My 81 year old MiL and a 62 year old wife ( 6 weeks out after Major Chest surgery were injured trying to keep him out. Police were called, took 19 minutes to respond, only to find out the check in clerk didn't note the room change due to disability. No calling the room, checking his registration list, nope he chose to try and break into a rented Hotel room. To top it off the parking lot and several tenants were let's say trying to buy the Original 1900 Coke a Cola.

    There was a water line break. The water was off for hours. We could not stay there. My husband was having knee surgery the next day and needed clean water to shower that evening and in morning. We had to move to another hotel. Expedia would not refund our money even tho we never entered the room! I’ll never use Expedia again! We did arrive during Checkin time just to be told there was no water.

    The room smelled strongly like cigarette smoke the moment we walked in. It was so bad that the smell stuck to our clothes and hair. The room also did not feel clean at all. Because of this, we decided to leave the same day and didn’t even stay overnight. I didn’t even feel comfortable letting the kids sit or lay on the bed. It was a horrible experience, especially when traveling with children. I would not recommend this place at all, particularly for families.

    What a complete trash hole! The water didn't work for 2 days which means the toilet didn't work for 2 days. When the water did it was brown. To not have a toilet working is completely disgraceful. Crack heads wandering the parking lot. The management are a-holes. I got charged when I booked my stay in January then they charged me again at the location. They refused to reimburse saying it's expedias duty but it's not. Couldn't be more dissatisfied.

    Did not know by the pictures that this was a motel, not a hotel. They did not have a room on the first floor which posed problems for my husband and I due to age and health reasons. We thought there would be an elevator, not stairs. The beds were very springy and bouncy. Not super comfortable. There were soap bars and lotion but nothing else, not even Kleenex. Room was clean and ac worked good. One good surprise was a ceiling fan over the beds, first time I’ve seen that.
