Visiting family

It was ok. This hotel is right off the highway (near Crystal city) so it makes it easy to go Carrizo Springs and Eagle pass. If this hotel only wouldn’t have a musty smell in the room, I would give it “excellent” and too bad their swimming pools isn’t “working”. But over all, it’s close to some places

A good place to stay

I use this hotel because it is inside city limits. This time they had plenty of deodorizers in the room. The bed is cumfy. And I think if you need “service” (bed done) I think you have to let them know??!? They do have a swimming pool but never in service.

Liked - The room and bathroom were very clean. The bed was comfy except for the pillows. Very quiet. Liked that it is a traditional style motel. Didn't like - the walls, woodwork and window need a bit of a clean and outside could do with a brush.
