Un hotel à la décoration chaleureuse mais trop cher pour le confort et les services offerts.
Pros:

L'hotel a du charme, sa décoration est chaleureuse. La situation est calme et proche d'une zone d'intérêt. Il dispose d'un parking privatif.

Cons:

La chambre est très exiguë (la plus petite rencontrée au Texas), le personnel entretien la chambre (lit, serviettes, ...) uniquement sur demande (ce qui n'était pas mentionné à l'arrivée). La vue depuis la chambre est très peu qualitative.
La température dans l'hotel est très froide (climatisation). Il n'existe pas de possibilité d'y prendre un petit déjeuner.

Pros:

Great recommendations from friendly staff

Cons:

Being unable to check in at time I specified due to staff being away from reception. This meant I was sat waiting outside for someone to come back as I didn’t know the door code

Cons:

There was a guy in the building next door being loud and rowdy. He seemed to be on something and made me feel unsafe.
