Pros:

Breakfast was delicious and satisfying, good amount of protein if that’s what you’re looking for. Nice park nearby provided a pleasurable walk after being in the car for hours. This facility had been recently renovated and the interior was new and clean.

The best and most comfortable stay!
Pros:

The staff, especially Jessica U, were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful. The entire place was so clean and tidy. The breakfast was amazing. The pool area was so beautiful and relaxing with complimentary towels…as was the fitness centre. It had just been refurbished to an outstanding level. The best place we have stayed in the whole of Texas!

Cons:

Could not find one fault!!!

Pleasant and Clean
Pros:

I liked coming off the highway, turning to cross over the highway and straight in to their parking lot. EASY access coming and going.

I like that even though under lobby renovation, they kept it tidy and well marked for guests to get to their check in desk on arrival.

Guest services was very friendly. The room was vey clean and bedding comfortable. Did not try the breakfast but it was included which is nice.

Cons:

The one funny thing that annoyed me is there was no button on the TV remote to find the “guide” for the channels. So I had to channel surf. Certainly nothing to cry over.

Disappointed.
Pros:

The property was close to my home and convenient at the time. (Jun 15, 2026 was the date of my stay)

Cons:

No. The person at the front counter was a bit curt and rude. I purchased the room through Booking.com, paid with the exact same card I have used at several other properties and bookings. When I get there she wanted another card to pay with, as I was paying with Chime Bank and they’ve had issues with refunds through Chime. I informed her I wasn’t sure how to proceed as that and my credit card was through the same bank. I didn’t have another card. She rolled her eyes and said she wasn’t sure she could proceed with the booking. I was trying to use a Visa.
My home was unsafe as there was someone staying there who has assaulted me and committed domestic violence against myself and my son. I left to avoid any issues and stay at a local hotel. This woman was about to cancel my entire reservation because she thought my bank was ‘inconvenient’ if I chose to ask for a refund in the future. Essentially, to same my reservation, I had to promise I wouldn’t request a refund. What kind of policy is this? I paid with a visa. I had plenty of money, the app had approved and collected my payment. There was a physical safety issue preventing me from going home.
I will never choose to stay there again. I had been crying for hours dealing with the entire family situation, and after this woman made me feel small and uncomfortable, I continued crying over the stress of the situation in my room. So I paid $140 for a single night in a local 3 star hotel, only to be spoken to disrespectfully and made to feel small and insignificant because of THE BANK MY DEBIT AND CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT was from. Not that I didn’t have money, not that I was rude to her, or caused any issues in the hotel. I wasn’t disrupting anyone. I was quietly stepping away from an unsafe and stressful legal situation for a brief reprieve.

So yes. That was my experience. I’ll never stay there again and it’s less than 10 miles from my home.
