"First, the breakfast and Rosie who oversaw breakfast was Awesome! Our room, the black out screen was crooked though cleaning people didn't seem to notice. Nor did they notice the water spot on the floor. They did clean up the water spot. Later that evening the water spot appeared again, coming from the fridge. The lady at front desk offered another room, though we were settled in, so we just had her pull the fridge. Water went everywhere. Felt bad for front desk lady having to do this on her own. I believe 17 rooms were filled this night. I guess we got the worse one. Room and bed were clean and nice. Front area was littered with cigarette butts."

Maybe Texas has more bugs than we're used to because there kept being weird flying ant/wasp things in the bathroom. Overall it was a decent stay and I would stay here again for the price."
