We have stayed here several times as our daughter attends Texas State University. This is our go to hotel for the area. The hotel is quiet and clean and the staff is always friendly and personable! On our last visit there were no bath towels, however, this was easily resolved by a visit to the front desk. Will definitely continue to stay here when visiting our daughter.

The surrounding property of the hotel was clean. Aside from some non-working light fixtures and I noticed some hornets nests and infestation of crickets I believe it was decent

The service was excellent, but do not recommend if you’re a light sleeper, because there as active train track with a rail crossing right behind the hotel. The train passes by every hour or so and blows the horn when passing by the rail crossing. It’s the only thing we didn’t like about our stay.

Poor Experience
I booked my room the afternon before my trip. Unfortunately I had an emergency and had to cancel my entire trip. When I reached out that same evening and explained the situation, I was told that there was nothing they could do because it was policy to cancel by a certain time. I replied back asking for an exception to the rule due the the circumstance. This reply was ignored and I was charged for the room.
Heartless people and poor Customer Service all around.

Don't stay here.
The staff at check in was nice. When we got to our room the towels werent folded. The bed felt dirty and the walls didnt look clean. We went out to the hot tub to relax after, but it was really dirty. It wasnt cleaned in days, the pool looked the same.
