Pros:

Room just remodeled but still needs more to improve. Tub needs to be replaced and tub faucet needs to be replaced, very hard to adjust water temperature.

Pros:

The female clerk called me about two minutes after I booked the room stating that they were overbooked and I wouldn’t be able to stay at the hotel and supposedly refunded me but haven’t received any confirmation on that yet also she wouldn’t give me number to corporate or let me speak to a manager and didn’t give her name

Pros:

The staff was wonderful and our room suited our purposes.
However, they are currently undergoing renovation, and the old rooms really need attention.
We saw a few roaches, but they came and sprayed, which helped.
Our biggest issue was there was minimal air conditioning in the bedroom. We had a suite with a separate bedroom, and rather than having an air conditioner or even a fan, there was a dinner plate size hole covered by a vent where the AC was just supposed to waft in from the other room. It was in the 100s in San Antonio, so it was insufficient to keep that room cool.

Pros:

I really liked staying here its located by the highway, and had a great pool, however the property is currently under renovations(we could not hear the noise) and there was signs that local unhoused people are a nuisance. We had no breakin to our vehicle but they were digging out trash and down the street there people sleeping on sidewalks.

Pros:

There is no AC in in 1 bedroom suites. Just a small hole with a fan trying to circulate the air. Tub was rusty and there is a $200 deposit if you live in town and are just wanting to get out of the house for a night but overall the rooms are very clean.

Under renovations
Pros:

When we stayed they didn’t have the pull out couch and the threw the sheets in the closet like they were dirty. They were still going through renovations throughout the hotel. We tried to request another room that had another bed for my mother and sister since the pull out couches weren’t pull out couches. I request to get into another room that had another bed for the inconvenience. They denied because all the rooms were booked for the night. I came back down to ask for some more blankets for the floor but the front desk told me that they had a room available. They moved us that night to another room and we stayed there. Around the afternoon we were done taking showers they had a leak in the bathroom by the vent that needed to get treated and we were told that we would have to move again. The maintenance came in and fixed it and told us that we would be able to stay in the room. Overall I just wouldn’t recommend coming or staying with family when the place is going through full renovations… they mentioned a 200 dollar fee if we broke or took anything so I had to take a picture of the lamp cover missing just in case because we didn’t take anything.

Pros:

I wish I would have known that the property had renovations going on. We arrived pretty late at night. Front desk person was very sweet but she was sitting at her desk with no AC. She assured us the unit in the rooms were working. Which they were. Halls were so dark to get to out room, elevator ride was horrible. To top it off we did leave to grab a bit to eat when we got back there were people doing drugs on the side of the building. Mind you we did have a child with us as well. Please check the ratings before booking a room.

Not worth the money & the mold mildew smell is bad
Pros:

First room we got smelled like mold and had visual mold all over fixtures. Contacted hotels.com & front desk and they did move us to a new room where the mold smell wasn't as bad but still had mold present but not as bad... that room microwave didnt work but they did get us a mini small one to use... lots of broken and stained things... the tub had rust all in it on the tub and walls... carpet stained... stove took forever to heat up and actually cook with and we paid for kitchenette. was not happy with the quality for what we paid and would not go back. not staff's fault... the place is outdated and needs to be completely gutted and redone

Pros:

Not the perfect experience, but extremely close. Facility is under remodel so there was a lot of clutter with furniture crates coming and going, and the pass fan didn't work, but staff was super friendly, courteous, and professional and accommodated all our concerns including a swivel fan for the bedroom.
