The front desk attendant was pushy and overbearing, kicked us out because we lit an incense that smelled like plastic and it set off the smoke alarm. Told us we wouldn’t receive a refund. I didn’t know how to react to that so I left.

Surprised!

Was surprised how clean and maintained this place was! The other half of our family stayed next door at the Best Western and paid 2x what we paid. Our room was nicer, cooler, and the property seemed to be updated more recently!

Shower in room did not work. Water was all over the floor after i had to take a bath. I left within a few hours of checking in. Wasn’t worth staying there. Staff wasn’t at front desk when checking in had to wait a few minutes which is ok but still alittle irritating.

Smelled dirty and moldy

Dirty, smells dirty, I am so glad we had a blanket because we did not lift up the covers, outdated, owners look like they don't put in the effort to make it look nice or even presentable, torn curtains and shower curtain, walls are stained, we got this for family weekend at Texas State, yes it was cheap for this was too much. Definitely will not be staying here ever again and so not recommended.
