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 - 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.

Bed
It was alright. The customer service was a little sluggish but very friendly and nice. The bed was broken and went downhill on one side and if someone got out of bed the bed would fly up and you would be on the floor. I was too exhausted to change rooms
