Good enough. A bit dated.
Booked here last minute. Not expensive. No frills. Felt safe. Clean enough. Nice receptionist (and the cutest dog). Aircon was working fine. Many channels on the tv. Nice smelling products in the shower.

This is an older hotel that is making strides to update/modernize the building and the guest rooms. The room was quiet on the side not facing the highway. The room was pleasant and showed that updates had benn made. Lobby and entrance was ok with more updates still in the works. Free breakfast was offered that would be considered minimal by most hotels. At least something was offered.

We enjoyed that it was right by the highway on 281. The front desk agent Laura was helpful and had our keys/room ready to go. The housekeeping staff was so sweet and asked if we needed anything for our room even though we said we didn’t need room service. The room was spacious with refrigerator and microwave. The hotel is undergoing renovation, but it was great nonetheless.
