Would stay again

Great location for a concert at the Moody, and comfortable. Could hear the road noise from our room, and the parking fee of $35 plus tax was a bit high. But the location made up for this, and would stay again. Did not have the breakfast or use any of the other amenities so cannot comment on that. There is a Denny's also on site, which is another food alternative.

Joseph

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It was clean and quiet. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom was clean with plenty of towels and complimentary shampoo, body wash etc. I reserved a king size bed months ago but they only had a room with two queen sized beds upon arrival. I felt this establishment is trying to squeeze out every last penny from you. They charge for things that other hotels of the same standard are complimentary. I didn't like that you have to pay for parking which at the time was forty bucks , water bottles cost three bucks in the room. Usually, hotels of this caliber offer a free continental breakfast. You have to pay $21, but kids eat for free. I wouldn't stay here again.

Close to the Moody Center

The faucet in the bathroom was improperly installed and the spout is very loose. Old dirty carpeting, very loud in the room we were placed in. Restaurant and bar had very limited hours. It appears the hotel gets limited guests and the owners can’t afford to make the hotel current.
