Outside seemed out dated, but inside was OK. The complimentary breakfast was great. Check in and out was easy.

I stay in town a lot and this is a better option for this price. I will book here again My only complaint is I did all the check in online and they made me do it again when I got there.

The room was very modern and very clean. I was really impressed with the couch very comfortable, and the bed was comfortable too. The parking lot was clean. It was quiet all night and the established friendly.

What a joke

The motel was nothing like the pics show…boy y’all can really fool people. Bugs in the room. Sheets & towels stained. Air conditioner didn’t seem to be working as good as it could have been. Good we were just there to sleep.

Horrible parking!!!

Parking is horrible,came back after a college game and there was not any parking at all, went to front desk and he was clueless as to what to do, i felt like it wasent his problem so he didnt care. I wasent going to leave until there was a solution or give me my money back, he finally said i could park in the front grassy area in front of the motel, yes, motel, this is definetly not a hotel, but i paid 220 for for one night thinking it was a nicer hotel! Not worth it at all!!! But its done, will definetly not stay here again for rhat price, my fault, should have researched better!!

Pictures are deceiving

I booked a room for 3 nights for parent weekend, I’ve stayed at one of these before and had an excellent experience. But this one was terrible. I ask for a non-smoking room but when I walked in it REEKED of smoke, and the smell saturated my PJ’s and my regular clothes so I smelled like it the next day. There were mysterious staines on the little sofa thing, burn holes in the bedding, what looked like patched bullet holes in the walls, the AC unit was more white noise than an actual AC, and the door gaps were so big I could almost see outside. The floors were gross and the water smelled weirdly funky. I left as soon as I could, but since I booked through here I’m fighting tooth and nail for a refund. Unless you give zero f**ks about quality- DO NOT STAY HERE.

I like the surroundings where it's located , close to Chick-fil-A, Hawaiian Bros, HEB, the San Marcos River. The rooms were clean, the staff were always available when we needed things. Thank you for letting us enjoy the quietness and peaceful area, I needed that when I worked overnights

Thoroughly impressed with how clean the room was. The bed was very comfortable and the A/C was super cold. Will definitely be back.

Definitely a workmen's' motel. The refrigerator was frozen over and towels stuffed inside. Useless. Other minor issues such a loose toilet set and missing moulding off the dresser top.

Great place will definitely book again.

Staff made accommodations from two queens to a king size. Room was clean. Staff was nice gave us extra towels, and we needed them.We did not want to be bugged by room service.So they didn't come to clean the room.While we were there hibernating and enjoying the hotel room. The only thing was the room was hot for me.First got in there, took about an hour in twenty minutes to cool down the entire room

Safety was a concern as there were people who appeared to be on some type of drug sleeping on the floor outside of our door. The room itself was not cleanly, and all of the furniture was outdated and poor condition. Staff was sketchy caught them in multiple lies very seedy and sketchy business.

Convenient and affordable. The room’s flooring was buckling but the room was clean. And the staff was so friendly and kind.

The hotel was older that on the pictures on line. The rooms were not pleasing to see plus the linen on the beds had human hairs and the light fixtures to the bathroom did not work. We were given another room and I was hoping that it would be different but, it was the same. The linen was dirty and there were stains in each bed. I was so disappointed and the front desks did not have other extra rooms.
