    There were no body towels. I spilled water and used a hand towel to wipe it, the towel turned blak from the dirty floor. I arrived in the daylight (6 pm) and the door was blocked. I had to get my key through the night window. The room was disgusting!

    Room was very unclean, smelled like smoke to the point it stuck to your clothes. Bath and toilet were stained and smelled. Lights flickered when they turned on. Dirt still on the carpet and the beds were rumpled like they hadn’t been washed. I didn’t even stay the night, left due to the smoke smell and filth.

    I like this place because it is quiet and close to the friend I was visiting. It was clean. I could park right outside my window so I could look out and see my car. The air conditioning was very good and the unit ran the fan all the time: no disturbing starting and stopping. Hot water came in about 10 seconds. The window was very clean. The manager came as soon as I tapped on the window when I arrived and when I checked out. There is plenty of light outside but the drapes fitted nicely into the window recess at night to make the room dark. The ice machine worked well. Target was a walk away. The shower produced adequate water, but at the same time lots of water kept coming out of the faucet and into the tub. Not a problem for me - - just wasteful. No water came into the toilet bowl while the commode was refilling, so each time I would fill the bowl by gently pressing on the handle. No one came to freshen the room but I could have put the "maid" sign out if I had wanted service. I brought my own soap so the little bar of soap was not a problem. The bed was rather firm. There was plenty of drawers and a table and two chairs. It wasn't until I was leaving that I discovered the thermostat for the refrigerator -- it was at the back of the refrigerator at the top. (The fridge was freezing water in the bottom.)

    This place was exactly what we needed. We were staying 1 night before the eclipse and just needed a place to crash. The beds were clean, the room was clean and we had no complaints except for thin comforters but we just pulled the 2nd one from the other bed. They also had a mini fridge, coffee pot and microwave which is becoming an uncommon thing. Would stay here again. Be ware of their intense speed bump in the parking lot. Even going less than 1mph my poor car's frame got a jolt.

    Location is nice. Not too far from Downtown or Fiesta Texas. We stayed on second floor and it creaked with every step. The bed had a spring that had sprung loose and tore through the mattress cover that poked you if you got out of bed wrong. There were cigarette burns in the mattress sheets. The toilet didn’t flush very well. Thought it was going to overflow several times. Not many free outlets to plug into. Had to unplug the lamp and clock to charge my phone and computer. The “front desk” is a foggy “night window” that is hard to see and hear through. All that aside, it served its purpose of being somewhere cheap that we could stay for the nights while we were out and about during the days. Lots of food nearby and places to drink if that’s your thing.

    Good location on main road. Nearby food and drink, stores, gas. Curtains closed good had room darken shade curtain. AC worked well. I already had a semi low expectations with the hotel to begin with. Room is large but minimum furniture. Hotel is older and the rooms looked and felt older. But this is a place just to sleep. Not the most comfortable bed.

    Hard working people maintaining the property during the day ???, absolutely ideal location if you’re someone who has good self control right next to wonderful shopping choices ?????, room was very clean and well stocked with necessities for the stay ??? Drug dealers everywhere ????‍??, but friendly people though for sure! Nothing or no one unsafe or caused anything ??? in my case or anything, but just be aware if that’s something that would shock or bother you or if you’re in recovery and need to avoid that situation or anything. In the rooms and around the property at night, BAM! There they are! ???? and my refrigerator kept freezing my food and I never figured out how to turn the temperature down… but eh, what are ya gonna do sometimes, ammirite? ?

The hair dryer did not work! I could not believe that the room could have all these problems all at one time! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! SAVE YOUR MONEY!

    This was the absolute worse hotel ever. It should be removed as an option. It is a drug infested motel not a place one should pay to stay. Drugs were actively being sold and some when I arrived with my family, mattresses and people were outside at 2AM. The beds are like crib mattresses. People called my room at 2Am. We ended up having to pack kids back into vehicles and find another spot as this place was unsafe. The hotel manger is aware of drugs being done as sje called one of the rooms and said I've told you about this before, why is your door open...Mamager didn't know I was at the window still listening.

    I can’t believe how horrible this place was, and at the end to be told to go someplace else when checking out was rude! I complained at the end that on top of all the things wrong with our stay, the shower broke on me at 11:30 PM I’m the midst of showering! I was told, the next morning upon checking out, that I should have told him about it that night. I was being courteous not waking him up at that time to let him know that for the last time I was not pleased with my stay and wanted some type of refund, which of course he refused. He had the nerve to tell me that he had switched me out of the smoking room, which I never requested, into the best room in the place. Best? With no wastecan or “do not disturb” sign, a stopped up toilet with feces coming up, and roaches to go along with the shower? STAY AWAY!

Finally we secured a reservation for this room, very late and had to drive another 2 hours to get there. We arrived at 3:10 AM to find a sign on the door saying to use the night window as the door was locked. There was a sign between the door and window all lit up saying OPEN. The reception area was all lit up and I rang the bell 5 times and could hear it. Nobody came. Staff from Hotels.com called numerous times and there was never any answer. Brutal!

    The hotel was dated but the reception and treatment of the check-in person/manager was unbelievable. He was so rude. I checked in, took my key and went to inspect the room. We'd booked a single, non-smoking room. I entered a smoking, smoky room with a dirty ashtray. I closed the door and returned to the front desk to request a non-smoking room. The manager actually yelled and screamed at me to, call the man (my boss) that booked my room and tell him that he made a mistake. Call him now. Do you hear me? Call him now. If I'd had a choice, I would have cancelled my reservations and moved them elsewhere at once. Then I had unwelcome knock on my door wanting to know if I needed to be serviced. I had women with children knock on my door trying to sell me mardi-gras beads. These unwanted knocks came at all hours. I do not ever plan to return to this hotel unless it has been leveled and replaced with at least different and courteous management.

    I actually found a different hotel to stay at. You get what you pay for....I selected this place due to the cost. I was going for a conference and was not going to be in the room at all...just needed a place to sleep. The bed had to be at least 20 years old and the sheets had cigarette burns all over. The room was as clean as it could be however it was just in need of a makeover. The owners were very kind however they need to invest in their property a little bit and not be so cheap. This place had what seemed to be permanent residents...not really the place I felt safe staying in.

    This is the first time I have been really disappointed by any booking through hotels.com. I usually feel like hotels.com points us toward great hotels with great prices. NOT this time. The hotel staff was not very friendly (it was really late at night, but still...), the room was not very clean and there was literally rodent droppings on the floor in the room. It was bad enough to necessitate sleeping on top of the sheets/blankets. Staff did not offer any apologies. Will not stay here again.

    The hotel is not as nice as some reviews say. The hotel clerk was very nice but our rooms smells like humidity and mildew. The "welcome" mats in front the door was a torn piece of carpet and the hotel is very run down. The first room I was given, the door wouldn't fully close and the second had weird stains in the bathroom. The free continental breakfast , was just some honey buns and coffee. I would recommend this hotel if your looking for any kind of comfort.

    What do you expect? It's a cheap hotel! I was there for 4 days. I expected a less than glamorous room. The old TV had poor reception, there were no plugs available to plug in phone chargers, the chain and other "extra" security locks were broken. The bathroom vanity looked like I built it in my back yard, and the refrigerator froze my beer. The bathroom wall had some suspect brown smears near the toilet. Hmmm, (they looked old too.) The bathroom door had been nailed back together from having been smashed down. The carpet was nasty looking and even had a nice burnt spot in the shape of an iron. The tub didn't have too many hairs from the previous guest but the water was hot and I didn't have to fiddle with the drain too much to get it to close. The AC unit worked pretty darn good. No elevator to second floor which is actually about 3 stories up from the ground. I woke up feeling bruised all over, but the sheets "looked" clean enough. You need to pay twice as much to get a decent place, or you can stay here for half the price and put up with ugly. I have stayed in a LOT of hotels. Most of them classy and expensive. I'm pretty sure I have stayed in an uglier room, I don't remember though. All this said, I'd stay there again if I needed a cheap hotel.

    Overall cleanliness of the room was quite good, although the building itself was rather run down. It was a coin toss as to getting polite service at the front desk, it depended on who was there. The free breakfast they offered was, well, let's say it was worth exactly what we paid for it.

    This was THE WORST hotel I have ever stayed at in my life (and I have stayed in a lot of hotels due to work). The room smelled awful, and the bed consisted of a two inch mat on top of a box spring. The shower had some sort of substance underneath the flooring, causing it to bubble up whist showering. There were also bullet holes unsuccessfully covered up by some drywall. There is a speed bump in the front of the parking lot that was so high my car bottomed out in three different spots going over it at a speed of maybe 3 mph. We felt so unsafe in this hotel, we left a day earlier than planned and forfeited our money spent on this dump hole.
