I like the surroundings where it's located , close to Chick-fil-A, Hawaiian Bros, HEB, the San Marcos River. The rooms were clean, the staff were always available when we needed things. Thank you for letting us enjoy the quietness and peaceful area, I needed that when I worked overnights

Did not look like the pictures. Charged me to $92, $1 & then full price for the two night stay. I did the “convenient link” for speedy and easy checkout and requested later complimentary check out and was denied unless I paid. There was fighting and disturbances and called front desk and they did nothing about it. Went on from 1:40-4am

I had a problem with the room key and as he gave me another he explained that putting it in my back pocket would ruin the keycard. I didn't know that but I'll store it properly next time.

Breakfast is kept out 24/7. The cereal and serving equipment look like they used them for a dog, then put them out for food. The room was dusty everywhere and had a lot of bugs in it to the point that my toddler picked one up and handed it to me. Nothing was clean, and no housekeeping came during my stay. I guess if you want cheap, you get cheap and dirty.

I got to the location about 9 hours after my intended arrival, in the MIDDLE of the night, and the clerk was so kind! He even offered to help me carry my bag up the stairs since I had an upstairs room! The bed was amazingly comfy, and the shower was awesome. Even being THAT close to a major highway, the room was quiet, with the door shut, I couldn’t even hear the traffic!

Terrible! Nothing like the listing. The sofa was all stained. There was electrical tape holding down the flooring. The towels were stained. The bed sheets had cigarette burns. Rooms were not sound proof at all! We unfortunately were kept up all night with all their noise coming from the unit next to us. You can also hear every footstep coming from the unit above us. I WOULD NOT recommend this motel to anyone with a family. This place was a dump!
