We got a room right by the office and could hear the front desk workers and their child talking right outside our door until 2 am. The breakfast was horrible. Seemed like fake eggs, slices of bread, NO types of meats, cereal.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Liked - Newer facility, which was clean and comfortable. Check-in was quick and young lady was friendly. Disliked - Later asked a young man at the check-in desk about the pool; it seemed that I was a nuisance to him. Too much door slamming (especially around 6:00am) and traffic noise from street. I would request a room in the back in the future!

The staff was friendly. We had no problems. I got more then i expected for the price. We stayed during Hurricane Beryl and that was our check out date, they gave us extra time to check to allow us a better time to start traveling home. We would happily stay there again during our next visit to Texas.
