Cool management, very clean and quiet. Love the quality and cleanliness of the bathrooms. Updated TV’s, Wi-Fi is a little better than average. Not a big fan of breakfast bar, but they do have breakfast. Might need to ask for a extra blanket, covers are fairly thin if you like your room cold. Overall, very good hotel for its price. You will be surprised.
Came in late, let me park my trailer and gave me a great price as I wasn't for spending a whole lot. Really nice hotel rooms for the price. Staff was nice. Breakfast okay but bucees right next door :-)
Very clean rooms and great services and great breakfast with eggs and sausage patties waffles cereal toast and pastries very clean and good price for what you get and good WiFi update rooms
Good value for the price. Older and clean, like staying at Grandma's house. Courteous owner/staff. Quite, off the Interstate. Well lit, newer clean parking lot. 2 minute walk across the parking lot to 24 hour Buc-ee's or Walmart across the road. I've stayed in major names for 4 times the price with less comfort. First choice on a return trip.
Good lodging. Priced right. Pretty much basic accommodations for the price but everything was clean and in good working order. Breakfast was decent. Exceeded what I was expecting for the price and the area
Walmart and a Buc-ee's within walking distance. Clean rooms, nice bed. Only caveat is the bright led parking lot lights coming through the shades. Other than that, good enough for one night.
We travel for my husbands work and have been here for about 3 weeks. I am very pleased. This is the most comfortable I have been in a while. We have a three yr old so clean is a big deal with me. (We stay while hubs works during the day) They clean every day. Like clean clean. Clean sheets every couple of days. Nice staff. Comfortable beds. Kohler bathtub that has a slanted back for an enjoyable bath. (Thats a big deal!) Great Wi-Fi connection and tv. Disney channel and Nick Jr are always a plus. Walmart and Buckees are across the street. We walk over almost everyday. Very convenient!
Reasonable rates, easy access to WalMart and Buc-ee's, and right off of Highway 59. Only issue I had was a very loudly ticking refrigerator, otherwise a great place to stay. 2018 update: Stayed here a few more times and have to say that management was quick to resolve any issues. The TV in my room was bad (vertical blue and red lines) and after receiving my complaint the manager purchased a new one, installed it, and apologized for the inconvenience. This is now my go-to hotel when I'm in that area.
Great place to stay parking wasn't very well and the bed was at that comfortable but the room was nice
Very Friendly Staff.. Nice Clean relaxing place.. Definitely will be Returning.. Hot Breakfast . Small but very grateful for the effort they're trying to serve everyone. Thanks
