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.

This hotel is under construction but you can tell it’s going to be very nice once it’s all completed. The newly updated room was very big and spacious. Bathroom was very clean, bed and the bedding was comfortable, very soft towels, the pillows are on the small size. We utilized the fitness center and pool. Fitness center is small but it has the basics. The pool was very nice and towels are provided. The gentleman at the front desk and staff were very kind and accommodating. It was very quiet and clean with having the renovation going on. We would definitely consider staying here again in the future, especially to see how the renovations turn out! Family of 4 traveling with young children.
