The room was ok. It was missing chairs to sit. Room needed an overall inspection. Staff was friendly and courteous. Not sure if it was time of the year (Jan) but the room was either to cold or to humid.

Staffs are helpful. The breakfast is limited but they serve hot ones. The room and bedroom were well maintained. The only issue was curtain and plenty of street light enters in nighttime.

Convenient location, felt safe, free parking. Clean enough, sofa in room was stained so we didnt sit on it. Wish they had more variety at breakfast but it's free so I'm not complaining too much about that. The staff was friendly and responsive to my two requests during our stay - they provided 3 bath towels even though 4 adults were on the reservation but promptly brought another to the 3rd floor upon my request via phone. The bedside charger didnt work on one of the beds, and the room itself is lacking a trash can in the bathroom. I also called the desk to ask about guest wifi ...its written on your key card envelope fyi 😉 decent value 👌

There seems to be an unpleasant odor in the hallway and room. The bathroom did not have hooks to hang clean clothes and towels. And shower area did not have anything to place containers with shower gel and shampoo. The bathroom was clean though.

We arrived about 45 mins early, and it was no issue checking in at 2:15 pm. Plenty of free parking was available. The outdoor sign could use a replacement, but the decor inside the lobby was very welcoming and positive sayings were all over the walls. The receptionist was super friendly. The “mailboxes” outside the rooms added a neat touch, and the room was very clean and decorated in a unique antique-style. For example, it had an old timey phone, refrigerator, etc. The bed was clean and soft and perfect after a long night attending the Texas Bowl. The following morning, we ate a small breakfast before departing and the options were plenty to include eggs, biscuits, pancakes, French toast, cereal, juice, and coffee, to mention a few. I would definitely stay here again.
