It's all good.. except for the coffee
I thought this hotel was very good. My only complaint is that the coffee at breakfast was just horrible. I drank it twice when I went down for the complimentary breakfast. Every cup tasted like 1/2 ounce of industrial cleaning fluid had been accidentally spilled into the cup. Why did I keep drinking it? Well, I gotta get that caffein.

July in Texas
Very good experience. Stayed 9 days. Wonderful breakfast buffet. Two computers in the lobby to check e-mail and Internet (Windows XP was a little slow but still good to have access). Other family stayed for a shorter time (two rooms), and one room had a problem with musty smell and moisture. My room was perfect. Newly remodeled, new furniture, carpet, hallways. Pool, jacuzzi outside. I would definitely recommend it.

Average hotel
The check-in process was bad. Our reservation was already pre-paid and the clerk had us waiting for about 15 minutes. We were the only ones checking in! Maybe it was the fact she was too busy on her personal cell phone and trying to check us in AT THE SAME TIME! Bathroom seem to be the only thing that had been updated. The bed sank right in the middle. Wounldn't stay there again unless everyone else was sold out.

Harlingen Express 8/2010
Very good breakfast, friendly staff, and a computer available in lobby for free internet access to check e-mail etc. Room very clean and up to date. Nice, big flat-screen TV in room. Good security on grounds and in building. No pool, but all in all I'd recommend it

Many good restaurants in Harlingen. I wasn't looking for 'ritzy' places, but everywhere I went for four days had good food at good prices, big portions.

It was ok
Room had no ventilation which made it humid inside all night and day. Couldn't stand it.
