I had to swap rooms as the the bath tub was continually dripping and full of standing water. Second room, curtain was broken and wouldn’t close, sink faucet was only able to give a small drip of water, and the tv was completely blue and ruined. But the shower worked and I didn’t want to repack and move another time so I stayed. But I won’t be back, the staff was helpful but there was no manager and wouldn’t be until this past weekend. I left my contact information and never heard from a manager. Pretty bad maintenance for the nice looking facility and pretty disappointing that management never responded to me.

The staff was great. The room was clean me very spacious and updated. The hallway carpet needed cleaning lots of stains on the first floor. The breakfast was good not a lot of meat options but a lot of options. The lobby and the entire hotel is very nice. the staff was great, but the pool area only had two chairs because they said they were waiting to get more becausethe others were broken and have been ordered. And the bottom of the pool had been cleaned up the debris, but the pool was actually clear and clean, and you can see the water but being that it is an outside pool. the others were broken and have been ordered. And the bottom of the pool had been cleaned up the debris, but the pool was actually clear and clean, and you can see the water but being that it is a outside pool debris goes into blows into the pool. For the rate location from Texas State and all the stores 10 out of 10 for me.

Sadly Room 225 and many other rooms had no hot water running. We spoke to the front desk, others have addressed it and as we checked out said nothing else about it. Will not recommend this hotel and will never stay again.

The hotel was clean and the desk person was friendly, however, there were no bath towels in the room upon check in. We could have requested some but we were on a time crunch and figured we’d get them later. The hot water in the bathroom sink didn’t even get warm let alone hot. We left around 4:30am. No one was at the desk to assist me with checking out. I left a post it note with my room number and key card. We won’t be staying there again.
