The hotel is clean and neat. Unlimited coffee plus breakfast is so good—many foods to choose from. I will come back again. The location is easily accessible for getting around town. It was my first time visiting McAllen, and I had no trouble navigating the area. I will recommend this hotel to all my friends and to anyone who reads my comments.
