Not sure how clean it was!

A good place to stay

I use this hotel because it is inside city limits. This time they had plenty of deodorizers in the room. The bed is cumfy. And I think if you need “service” (bed done) I think you have to let them know??!? They do have a swimming pool but never in service.

Great place to stay. This is the only place we stay when visiting Crystal city. I would recommend buying some softer mattresses these things are as hard as a rock

Liked - The room and bathroom were very clean. The bed was comfy except for the pillows. Very quiet. Liked that it is a traditional style motel. Didn't like - the walls, woodwork and window need a bit of a clean and outside could do with a brush.
