This was a very nice clean comfortable room. Ample parking. Fairly easy to get to considering Texas’s weird streets. There was a lot of litter around the parking lot

Bathroom faucet wasn't attached to the counter, causing the faucet to move, which was annoying. Having good water pressure is nice, but what they have is ridiculous; your feet take a bath while you're showering. Towels were old as the hills. Bed springs were noisy! But, for the price, we overlooked the above. Probably wouldn't stay here again.

Disappointed
I was incredibly disappointed with the our stay. I called to confirm a two bedroom suit and they confirmed over the phone that yes I had a two bedroom suite. When I checked in, it was a one bedroom. The front desk person was lovely and helped fix it. BUT it went downhill from there. The two bedroom suit was NOTHING like the pictures. It was run down and old. There were multiple stains on the pillow cases, sheet and blankets. The walls were paper thin so you can hear everything your neighbor is doing. The swinging doors were absolutely LOUD and horrible. Was woken up throughout the night because neighbors would go in and out swinging the doors and can hear the screeching hinges. You are literally right next to highway and can hear diesel trucks all night. Felt like I was sleeping under a bridge. Last but not least, me and 3 of my friends have bug bites all over our body! Our feet, arms pits, arms, every where. I’m praying to God it’s not bed bugs. The towels also had a faint cigarette smell. Do not recommend if a light sleeper.
