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.

Nice hotel with comfortable rooms.
Very comfortable bed, clean and spacious room, kind staff. Only downside was breakfast as it had no fruit, bananas, oranges would suffice. Lobby was being remodeled but didn’t affect our stay at all. I would return. Will say it again staff was wonderful.
