It’s a great place to stay the night. It’s also a great place for work crews to get rest. The owners are amazing and always willing to please as long as you are respectful. Like it should be.

Old motel but comfortable and great staff.

First of all, this hotel is old and located directly next to IH35. With that being said, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was as clean as it could be. There was soap, shampoo. The bed was comfortable. But the best part? The air conditioning worked fantastically. Overall, for the price, it was a good experience and I would recommend.

Was ok but definitely nothing special. For one night passing through, it’ll do, especially being almost half price of everyone else around. For more than 1-2 days, I’d definitely book else.

Great value for price. King room is a bit small but the double queen bed room is a great size. It’s spacious, you get plenty of towels. Refrigerator, tv, ac/heater, etc. work perfectly. Rooms and equipment is old but it works. The property is quiet even at night and allows for peaceful rest. Staff is helpful and friendly.

My sister had the room next door (114) and their toilet was clogged and staff told them to go buy a plunger if they really needed to use the restroom. Our room was decent but will definitely pay a premium price for a better hotel next time.

It's nice it's quiet you're going to San Marcos you're not really going to spend a lot of time in the hotel. So for this work it's worth it I do recommend it I would stay there again everything all the water Recreation areas it is around that hotel. So that's a major Plus everything is around you.

I paid $300 some odd dollars for 2 nights the room was stinky and messy AND small and the lady who checked me in was most rude. We always pick this hotel because when it was called the knights inn we were treated better and we looked forward to our next vacation. This is the last time we’ll be renting from them
