Don't be fooled by the aged sign on the pole, the rooms have been renovated, with good workmanship. A bonus is the tiny Thai restaurant just 2 blocks south on Magnolia Blvd. Access to I-8 and 67 is flawless. Excellent value.

Breakfast is a simple cereal,cooked waffles or some coffee/juice. The staff was 100% friendly especially the older guy who helped me check in at night but the property was bad, our fridge was leaking and when we used the shower the water was coming out the sides.
