Categories

Cleanliness
6
Mixed reports: some guests described the property as clean, but serious cleanliness issues were reported (bed bugs, pool users urinating) and at least one flooding incident — overall below average cleanliness.
Service
8.8
Mixed service: front-desk staff were described as friendly and helpful on-site (handled noise complaints, issued refunds in some cases), but there were major communication failures (guests not notified about property closure/flooding) which lowered the score from excellent.
Location
9.2
Generally strong: multiple guests noted the hotel was close to attractions, events and major roads (right off I-35); some rooms experienced highway noise but location was repeatedly praised.
Room Quality
6.2
Mixed to below average: complaints include hard beds, dim lighting, hot rooms, worn/tattered furniture and thin blankets; a few guests found rooms comfortable, but room quality shows notable issues.
Amenities
8.2
Basic amenities present (breakfast included, outdoor pool, coffee maker), but amenities were sometimes limited or out of service (pool not working, small pool area, odd coffee-maker placement); generally functional but inconsistent.
Value for Money
9
Viewed positively by many guests: several reviewers said the property was good for the price, a solid last-minute/stopover option and worth the cost for the rate paid.
Food and Beverage
8.5
Breakfast generally included and described as satisfactory by several guests, though offerings were limited for some — overall slightly above average for an economy property.
Overall Experience
6.5
Mixed overall: while many stays were acceptable for the price and location, serious issues (unexpected property closure/flooding, bed bugs, lack of advance notification) led to several highly negative experiences.

Nonexistent. I had to find another room nearby.
Pros:

When I arrived at the property after a 2 hour drive from the airport I found it was almost completely dark. There was a note taped on the door stating “Sorry but we’ve had to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.”

Cons:

They didn’t have anywhere for us to sleep. They also didn’t notify me nor did booking.com

Property was closed!!!! No advance warning. I understand that had a water break issue but that happened several days bef
Pros:

Property was closed!!!! No advance warning. I understand that had a water break issue but that happened several days before our arrival and we ended up paying double price for a last minute stay at another hotel. Very disappointed with them for not reaching out to the travel sites to warn us.

Things were nice and I will request not to be on the highway side.
Pros:

Breakfast was nice and the location was great.

Cons:

My room was next to the Highway so I couldn't get no sleep. Even with the TV on it was still noisy outside.

older place
Pros:

This hotel is right off I35 you can hear the traffic going by, but I still got a good night sleep. It is an older hotel but clean. The breakfast area is very clean and a small amount for breakfast. The pool is outdoor and small. It is also located at the north end of the hotel if you want to be close. I got a really good price or I would have looked elsewhere, but it was just a one-night stopover.

Worst the cost
Pros:

The property overall was good for the price. The staff was very friendly, had an issue with my neighbor, blasting music super late when I had an early morning, and I called down to the office and they dealt with it kindly.

Cons:

Bedsheets were super uncomfortable

Stay as a last resort only.
Pros:

It was close to the places we needed to visit.

Cons:

It was old. It smelled old. The furniture in the room was tattered. The sundry store was extremely limited and useless. It was just a table of items at the registration counter. The blankets were thin and offered little warmth or comfort.
