Definitely a workmen's' motel. The refrigerator was frozen over and towels stuffed inside. Useless. Other minor issues such a loose toilet set and missing moulding off the dresser top.

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

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was older that on the pictures on line. The rooms were not pleasing to see plus the linen on the beds had human hairs and the light fixtures to the bathroom did not work. We were given another room and I was hoping that it would be different but, it was the same. The linen was dirty and there were stains in each bed. I was so disappointed and the front desks did not have other extra rooms.

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

It is nothing like the photos!

There is a lingering smell to the place & the actual room felt damp. Our room was attached to another room by a door and we could see and hear everything. The covers were scratchy & everything felt old.

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.
