Categories

Cleanliness
3
Multiple reviews report dirty rooms, heavy dust, grimy bedding, sticky carpet, bugs in the window and bad smells (including in the fridge) — overall cleanliness is poor.
Service
9.5
Mixed reports: one guest said staff was great and another said staff is nice, but there is a complaint about an unresponsive front desk during a noise issue. Overall several reviewers praised staff behavior, so service scores higher despite isolated failures.
Location
9.5
Location is convenient for hospital visitors and has nearby fast-food options (McDonald’s, Taco Bell), but proximity to a highway produces significant noise for some guests; overall location is convenient but noisy.
Room Quality
4
Rooms had multiple problems reported: lights and outlets not working, refrigerator issues, damp smell and generally bleak/poor room condition — room quality is below average.
Amenities
7
Some amenities are described as old but acceptable by one guest; others report non-working fittings and a smelly fridge. Amenities are mixed — functional in part but aging and inconsistent.
Value for Money
6
Several guests felt the price did not match the experience (noise, cleanliness and room issues); one guest explicitly said it wasn't worth the price. Value is slightly below target.
Food and Beverage
7
No on-site dining noted; nearby fast-food options available. Negative mention of fridge smell affects this category slightly, but limited information otherwise.
Overall Experience
6
Overall experience is mixed to negative: several guests described the stay as a 'horror' and left immediately, while one review describes a clean room and good staff. The aggregate experience is below average.

I deeply regret beeing there
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Half of everything wasn't working: lights that wouldn't turn on, outlets without power, the refrigerator, etc.
Plus, it was incredibly noisy. At 5 AM, the noise from the highway made it impossible to sleep.

The most disgusting place ever
Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

Everything. It's a disgrace, what they advertise the accommodation as. It's nowhere near as good as the pictures (if we had known, we wouldn't have booked the accommodation). We left as soon as we saw the condition of the room, and the hotel in general. It's a horror of horrors. Dirty room, full of dust, the toilet is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen, bugs in the window, the brightness is a disaster, the smell in the fridge, I have no words.

Too bad we didn't take pictures (we were in shock).

Avoid by all means.

The price is not worth not sleeping
Pros:

Proximity to hospital

Cons:

I think people live there. Sounded like someone was playing soccer in the room above me. Called the front desk and he did absolutely nothing. It continued until 3 am. People in the room next to me were slamming their door going inside and out. Again, front desk guy didn't bother calling the room or knocking on the door.I almost left to sleep in my car in a parking lot somewhere else. For the price, I thought it'd be a lot nicer and I wouldn't have any issues.

I loved that they had big rig truck parking
Pros:

The property it self can fool you to have you thinking it’s going to be an old and damaged rooms. But the rooms was very clean. The beds was very comfortable. No smell at all in the none smoking rooms. Yes I will go back. No dirty wall, or marking on the furniture.

Cons:

They don’t have a pool and it get very hot in TX
