The room looked nothing like the picture. The were big roaches on the floor, flies in the room and the just so unclean. It looked old and run down. I am not sure what room they are showimg on the website but the room looked just the opposite. I looked like i had not been cleaned. The tub, sink, sitting chair, etc was dirty.

This Location is very run down and dirty. All the buildings around it are abandoned. The door to my room was barely hanging on and a good kick anyone could of come in. The bathe room is in desperate need of updating it wasn't even safe to enter the tub. This motel is way over priced for the room and location. Do not recommend

Not for nonsmokers
Had reservations for a nonsmoking room. If the room we got was what they consider nonsmoking they are sadly confused. IF YOU ARE A NONSMOKER DO NOT STAY HERE. No hangers for clothing in the room. Mold around bath tub. No coffee pot in the room.

Worst stay I've ever had.
Worst Hotel/Motel stay I've ever had. Whatever you do, don't take your kids here. Not safe at all. No door latch only one lock on knob. Floors were disgusting, sheets had stains, we were woke up in the middle of the night (3am) by the people in the room above us... they were "conducting business"... loudly.... (i'll not describe that, you're welcome). It was supposed to be a non-smoking room, but clearly had been smoked in, if you didn't believe the smell, the cigarette burns on the bathtub would clue you in. We will never stay here again, we would literally rather sleep in our car in a safer neighborhood.

Rented three rooms for myself and family with small children, we found drug paraphernalia and roaches in two of the three rooms. Towels and sheets were stained and my non smoking room smelled like smoke. Also requested a handicap accessible room and was told that they did not have any accessible rooms on the property. When I said that we would take a ground floor room instead and make it work they were very reluctant to accommodate. My husband and i have stayed here in the past but the property has seemed to go down hill since then.

Nice manager but...
Staff was nice but not onsite, bed was comfortable but that's the only good. Room was dirty, extremely noisy, in need of repair, and needed a new door lock.

This hotel was fully booked so they sent us to the Whitten Inn. It was terrible. The water in the shower scalded my wife. There were bugs on the floor.

front office staff was very friendly, unfortunately, they were going through renovations. It is an old property and it needs work. I would like to see what it looks like next year. The room I stayed in had now bedside lamp which was strange. I was not able to read a book because it was too dark.

Last minute booking on our way to Houston. Nice and rather quiet place considering it is very close to the main road. Good service, no breakfast (or food in immediate area, Walmart and a lot of eating places 10 minutes drive away though).

If you're budget conscious like me, then you'll like this hotel. It's right off I-20 near the highway cutoff to Wichita Falls (287?) It appears to be recently taken over by new management so some remodeling may be in progress. I had a clean comfortable room for around $50. (all I REALLY care about) The bathrooms had neat Texas-shaped sinks and the shower/tub was the "old-school" jacuzzi tub that didn't work (The only REAL drawback.)

Not at all like the picture
I knew from other reviews that this was not a particularly nice hotel, but all other hotels in the area were booked for people going to the same commencement ceremony. I am glad it just a single night. This is the first time in my life that I stay at a hotel that does not have hand soap by the sink, nor a bar of soap in the shower. There was clean bedding and towels, a microwave oven, a small fridge, a flat screen TV with cable, and three beds. No night tables, hence no lamps other than the ceiling lamps, and no place for you to conveniently put your glasses or charge your cellphone overnight. Not a single chair, and no telephone. Most of us carry cell phones, but for calling the front desk you would expect a standard phone line. None of the other typical details, like a small bucket to fill out with ice, or one or two glasses for rinsing when you brush your teeth. In other words, a bare room that looks nothing like the one in the picture. The only real plus was that we did not find any bugs in the room, as some others have reported.

Basic hotel, you get a bed and warm shower plus though is the microwave and refrigerator. No one in the front desk at night you have to call to get somebody.

You get what you pay for
I read several reviews for lower end ($50 to $70) hotels. This place got better reviews than the pathetic others. This place had to be built in the 60's (guess) and it is very old and out dated. The gentlemen who checked me in was polite. The door's second "lock" (not really a bolt, but thin piece if metal) didn't go into the wall. Didn't work! No door chain, no safety bolt. Just the lock on the door knob and the second "bolt like" lock that DIDN'T work! I asked to move from my original room, just to be given a second room with a nonfunctioning second lock also! 0 for 2.

Got to the hotel about 130 in the morning, they had just had a thunderstorm come through and the lights were not working in the room. The air conditioner was however working, thank God. We didn't really need the lights on anyways considering what time we got in and we were very tired. The owners were very apologetic, the room was somewhat comfortable and when got up the lights were working.

Ok for passing through
This hotel accommodated my needs since I was just driving through and needed some where to get a few hours of sleep Not the greatest looking place. Does look a little rundown. Rooms were big though. It is right off of I-20 so there is quite a bit of noise from the interstate. Staff was very friendly I would stay here again if I was just passing through. Probably wouldn't do an extended stay of any kind

Worst hotel experience I have ever had. EVER.
I booked Travel Inn because I was traveling on the cheap....but I wish that I had spent the extra ten dollars a night to sty at Days Inn. The bed was flat, hard, and uncomfortable...and there were stains on the sheets. The shower was dingy and I found several short, black hairs (mine is long and red). I was told by the owners of the hotel that "there are lots of rooms and lots of things to keep track of and sometimes things get overlooked" (explaining the hairs in the shower) and that "the health department rules are too stringent" (which he said was the reason that the sheets had not been disposed of but were still on the bed). On the plus side, this was a REALLY cheap room, and it did have a tub with a jacuzzi effect (although after finding hairs I didn't have the desire to use it). Overall, do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else.

Place sucks
The place is old, so you expect it to not be in the best of condition. The lobby smelled of stale cigarettes, the desk clerk didn't have on shoes and spoke guttural English. The rooms were suprisingly clean and smelled clean. That was before the event. At six a.m., we hear the guy from the front desk screaming and yelling at the guest next door. He is calling her a liar and a b***h (which she may or may not be or both). She is yelling she is going to call the police. Some guy in the room is also yelling. After about ten (10) minutes, apparently they arrived at a truce and peace was restored. That is when we found the bugs (cockroaches or their deriatives) on the floor in the bathroom. WELL, later in the day we decided to give the owner's another chance. Next morning, another "Men In Black" bug crawling across the wall. Smashed that one with my shoe. Glad it was the last day. Not only methheads, prostitutes, but crawling bugs also. Regardless of the smell of cleanliness, I would recommend a night in the back of a pickup truuck before this place.

Carpet was very worn. Furniture was worn and outdated. The least expensive hotel you could find so you really can't complain. It was clean and there were no bugs anywhere. The room came with microwave, frig, and coffee pot. Bring hair dryer and iron if you need one. It was quiet other than the traffic from the highway.
